Spring Trend: '50 Shades of Gray' Bondage Inspiration

Okay, I have to admit that not only have I not read 50 Shades of Gray, I'm sick of hearing about it.  However, this Spring 2013 trend inspired by 50 Shades of Gray is pretty awesome. Characterized by details with bondage nods, such as leather halters, it's sexy and hard, balancing femininity and toughness.  Pair dark, edgy pieces with more feminine pieces - items with lace, ruffles, or a graphic print. For an edgy look you can keep the outfit all black, or black and white; for a more everyday look simply combine a statement piece with something more casual from your closet.  For more inspiration, look through this gallery of 50 Shades of Grey looks from NY Fashion Week.
