Combat Boots

Someone is monitoring my Web search browse history. I know it. I know they are. I have been obsessing over combat boots for months and now, they are totally hot.Well, I guess designers need to get their inspiration from somewhere. OK. I give in. I will volunteer to be their anonymous muse.

I just love the military inspired look. Whatever you pair these boots with – jeans, a dress, a skirt, capris or Harper’s rolled-up jeans – you instantly give that outfit the pop of “bam!” it so desperately needed.
We suggest scouring your local thrift stores, garage sales, the Army-Navy surplus stores, Amazon.com or eBay to find your perfect military boot.

Favorite Fall 2011 Looks: Yigal Azrouel + Anna Sui

The crème de la crème have gathered to display their Fall 2011 collections at Fashion Week. As with any work of art, these masterpieces have been checked and double checked to make sure every seam, sequence and bobble are where they need to be. Well, I would like to take a look at two fashion designers who recently took their walk down the infamous runway. Anna Sui’s and Yigal Azrouel’s collections really stood out amidst all the silver and taupes (Micheal Kors, cough, cough).

 
Yigal Azrouel. Sigh. I really love this collection and wish every piece was hanging in my closet right now. What I loved about Azrouel’s collection was the use of separates. The coats were gorgeous, but the real show stoppers, for me anyway, were the use of my two personal wardrobe staples, the traditional button-down and the sweater vest. Azrouel mixed both elements with pencil skits and slacks, showing the versatility of these two pieces. My favorite of this collection is the shown above. I adore these tangerine capris with the loafers, button down and sweater vest. This look feels so effortlessly chic. J’adore. See Yigal's full collection HERE.

Anna Sui’s collection was combined whimsical lines and patterns with structured shapes and seems. As seen in the image above, Sui masterfully mixed a caftan with a cape, mini skirt and traditional Mary Jane shoes.  See Anna's full collection HERE.

Emma Roberts + Floral Prints

I've had my eye on the fashionable Emma Roberts for awhile now and I'm embarrassed to admit I had no idea who she even was until I searched her IMDB page. While her movies may not be show stoppers, her red carpet looks are. Floral prints are hot for Spring, but sometimes I think they can look a little mousy. Roberts definitely knows how to rock the print without looking boring.

Her floral ensembles have me searching all over for a equivalent substitute that agrees with my pocket book. If you see one, shoot it my way!

Be Mine Valentine

Roses and red, violets are blue,
But we fancy other shades,
Of the peach, pink and maroon hue.

Who says Valentine's Day equals pink, red and white? Spice up your Love Day with different shades of pink, peach and red.


We especially {heart} Christian Siriano's flirty mauve number.

Oxfords with socks if you please

I’m intrigued by the raised hem jean or slack coupled with Oxford shoes and showing socks. The Sartorialist has captured men and women taking this trend to the streets and workplace. I love the gentleman that pair their Oxfords with argyle, stripped or just plain mustard socks. Paris’ recent fashion week showed that this is not only a street trend but is now a runway movement. I’m absolutely in love with the whole idea of a raised hem for any occasion. The search for Oxfords is on.

Favorite Spring 2011 Looks: J. Crew

Spring 2011 lines are out and I've been drooling over several pieces in the J. Crew line. Bold colors and loose fitted bottoms are in. I totally love the paper bag waist on the skirts, too. The beauty of a paper bag waist is the versatility it gives: dressy or casual and slim or curvaceous.


P.S. Not a fan of socks with pumps yet...you?

Favorite Spring 2011 Looks: Kate Spade

Kate Spade's Spring 2011 line is full of feminine accents that make me swoon. I can't say how much I love, love, love that hounds tooth skirt and polka dot skirt (I think I would even wear them together).
