What Are The Favorite Trends from High Point Oct 2012 Market?

The High Point Market officially ends tomorrow!
I must say this has been the most fun market I have attended in the 15 years I have been going!  I had the honor of being one of a panel of nine "Style Spotters".  The other eight designers, bloggers and editors are all a very talented bunch so I consider myself lucky to be in such good company!

Thank you to Cheminne Taylor-Smith VP of Marketing for the High Point Market for her fabulous team who work so hard to make the market a roaring success!  I can't wait to share about the wonderful events I attended again kudos to Cheminne!  So let's talk about the top picks so far!

The  "Style Spotters" panel armed with cameras/phones and
eagle eyes "spotted" what we thought were the Oct 2012 Market's biggest trends.  Now we are waiting to see which of the items we chose will be your favorites on the High Point Market Style Spotter Pinterest board.
  

So far here are the top re-pinned trends from each 
"Style Spotter"!
