I say the lace-up boot, for sure. There are a couple trends this fall that I am seeing, basically anything military style, lacy, and lots of hardware– with combinations in one form or another (lace combat boots or loafers with hardware). If you didn’t invest in ‘over-the-knee’ boots last year, I would say pass on them this year and buy a good pair of motorcycle boots instead. If you did buy yourself ‘over-the-knee boots’ last year, they are still hot..hot…hot.

Grayish Boots- The neutral color palette is here to stay, so I thought I could introduce a new color onto my wardrobe. Here are my favorites:

Sam Edelman 'Belmont'

KORS 'Angie' $350

Corso Como 'Christian' $249.99

Elizabeth and James $395

Updated Black Statement shoe-I always like to add a statement shoe of the season into my collection. It makes it so easy to sex up any outfit for the evening.

Stuart Weitzman 'Ironlady' $525.00

Sam Edelman 'Torin' $224.95

Betsey Johnson 'Alison' $149.95

Penny Loafer- I will tell you in Spring/ Fall 2011, the classic styles will be on trend. To me, nothing is more classic than a penny loafer. Oxfords are still very, very in. Personally I am all over the penny loafer. And you’ll notice among the penny loafers the same trends apply. Some are classic, yes, but you’ll notice some also include hardware, or distressed leather (distressed/ vintage/ worn in leather will be big in 2011) .

Bass $59.00


Prada $595.00


Miu Miu $750.00


Elizabeth and James $235

Biker/ Combat Boot-

Marc by Marc Jacobs $550.00

Modern Vintage 'buckle boots' $350.00

Saw these at the Creative Recreation booth at Project

In my opinion, it’s more important to have one pair of kick-ass shoes for the winter than three pairs of alright shoes. Find what trend works for you and rock that.

This past week I have turned the pages of a dozen magazines sporting the new ‘it’ trend: super ethnic, boho purses. They come in all shapes and sizes, and price points for that matter. Bright pops of color, with extreme texture; this is an accessory to add some life into your summer wardrobe. In the fall, you will see this type of bag in every store.

Simone Camille $975.00 (sold exclusively @ Ron Hermen)

This bag is so expensive because it is handmade by stylist Simone Harouche. Each bag is one of a kind, handmade, and comprised of vintage textiles that come from all around the world. Simone I believe is also Miley Cyrus’s stylist too, because she has been seen sporting the same bag. (Ok, seriously how cool would it be to Miley’s stylist? If I could pick any celebrity, I would take on Britney Spears.)

Amazon.com/ Gypsy boho mirror work sling $124.99

Esty.com/ Violavintage $58.00

Cotton Hobo Bag $33.99

Not only does Pure Style Girlfriends make double sided fashion tape, they make all different sizes of bra inserts. You should own a pair of inserts if you have ever wanted bigger boobs, or are jealous of your BFF’s cleavage.

Here is another trick to getting amazing cleavage: Double bra it. Wear two push-up bra’s together and sha-zammm! You will have just increased your bust a whole cup size.

One of the most anticipated movies of this year is Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. Now if you are expecting to see a version of the original movie, guess again. One of the screen writers, Linda Woolverton took more influence from Lewis Carrol’s the Jabberwocky poem than original Alice an wonderland story Carrol wrote. I personally can not wait to see this movie, mostly because the makeup looks magnificent. I can only image how many hundreds of hours went into the makeup and wardrobe alone for this movie. From a fashion standpoint you should be seeing the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ themed clothing everywhere. I have seen tons of sweet playful summer dresses perfect for an adult tea party and jewelry with cups, saucers, and pink pastries. I am the biggest fan of Tarina Tarantino’s ‘Alice in wonderland’ jewelry: it is fun, a great pop of color, and most importantly will still be stylish in three years. This is my favorite pieces from her “Alice Flamingo” line.

Vegas is not suppose to rain cats and dogs, but here we are… Personally, my wardrobe is no longer up to par for this type of weather. My daughter wore her rain boots today and was stepping in the puddles, splashing water as we walked and loving every minute of it. She was having so much fun, it made me want my own rain boots. I’ve decided that investing in a pair again doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. Here are some of my favorites
994226-p-DETAILED See By Chloe’ $199.00
6220-461093-d Hunter Rain Boot $115.00
pl705251-00qlv01 Chooka “Bufflo Bone” $60.00

Are Doc Martins coming back in style? In my mind they never really went out of style. Here are some of my favorites. In order from top to bottom: L.A.M.B Volera Laceup Boots $599.00, Doc Martin Triumph $150, Frye Vienna Lace Up $498.00, Doc Martin, 20 eyelet boot $150.
Wear these boots with basically every and anything. They especially work well with skinny jeans, leggings, dresses, skirts and fishnets. Every punk rocker at one point owned a pair, hopefully you still have yours.

It read something like, ” It’s OK that your summer wardrobe is your winter wardrobe, with tights.” What makes this funny, is that for most people it is true. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s quite the opposite actually. Of course, your linen pants should only be worn in the summer time. But in general you should be able to wear 60% of your wardrobe all year round. With that said, I want to focus on tights. If you don’t own a pair of black opaque tights, put it on your want list. Wear your dresses, shorts, and skirts with black opaque tights and pair them with black heels or boots. You have just taken advantage of your wardrobe, and elongated your legs in the process.

The must have tights for this winter season are lace, which I am definitely loving. If you are not into the lace, go for a patterned or colored pair of tights that you do like, and will actually wear. Tights are an inexpensive way to update your wardrobe. Try it out, and let me know how it works.

Her designs are very classic with a modern twist. Right now I am especially loving these Moonstone Chain Earrings. NMY0CWL_mtWhat I really love about these earrings are the diamonds mixed in with the chains. Vera Wang once again took something classic and made it modern for the everyday fashionista. These are small enough to wear anytime of day, and will look especially great with your hair pulled up. This holiday season is the perfect time to rock these fashion forward accessories. Vera Wang Monestone Chain Earrings retail for $198.00.

Answer:  Are Uggs still considered the IT boot? The answer is no. The “IT” boot this season has gone to ankle boots and over the knee boots. With that said, I am not going to nod my head in shame if you rock them. Fashion is not always practical. I know Uggs are warm, easy, and most importantly comfortable. So in being practical, I went to www.uggaustralia.com and picked out the most fashion-forward boots they carried.
