Fab Shoes at a Fab Price!

Just look at the goodies I found at Payless! Alice + Olivia and Lela Rose both have lines at Payless and the shoes are utterly FAB! I found two great booties by Alice + Olivia and one by Lela Rose!! I love the cobalt blue booties by Lela Rose. They come complete with a tassel bow tie (remember I talked about tassels in a previous post!), cuff detail, and a wonderfully delicious faceted heel. They are just wonderful, and at $34.99 you so want these in your closet! Alice + Olivia have a great bondage double buckle biker boot that would make a great addition to my shoe collection, and they also have a cute studded peep toe bootie! Both are $49.99 and needless to say they will also be in my closet. So $140 for three pair of FAB booties sounds like a deal to me! Take a look for yourself and tell me what you think.....

Wrap your hands around this......

My love affair with handbags has caused me to write about the sometimes overlooked Clutch. The small yet mighty clutch comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, and textures. Some in the standard shape of the envelope and some as wild and crazy as the shape of a bean! Some plain and some decked out with all types of extras. Despite its size, the clutch is one that should be held front and center for all to see and admire!! I love the simplicity and at times the complex nature of such bag. The clutch can easily take you from day to night with the slightest of ease. It can be a fun addition to your outfit or it can be the focal point of your look. I've searched far and wide and put together some of the hottest clutches on the market.......for the moment that is, next week will bring somethings new! (That's the good thing about Fashion, its ever changing!)

Chains, Grommets, Tassels, & Zippers!

So the buzz on the block is that accessorizing with Chains, Grommets, Tassels, & Zippers will be all the rage this season. I've checked it out and its a definite MUST! Maybe on a shoe, maybe or bag, or maybe even on a piece of jewelry. Don't be afraid to experiment and step outside your box. Some of the best looks have come from experimenting! Cole Haan has a fabulous chocolate suede boot, the Nancy Air Tall Boot, with a patent tassel that is just darling! They also have the Nancy Air Sandal (also with a tassel). These suede beauties are the perfect accessory to a high waist mini and colorful tights! I love the Zinfandel Suede color it's Muy Fabuloso!! And if you're wondering why they have the word "Air" in the name it's because Cole Haan partnered with Nike Air and they now have Nike Air technology in ALL of the soles!! Which means you can dance all night long or walk the streets of your hometown and not have to worry about aching feet! Gotta love it. Abaete' for Payless has a great faux suede ankle bootie adorned with multiple chains and at a price of $49.99 it's a definite MUST have!! I've included pics of pieces to give you some inspiration, hopefully it will help you in finding your own style!

Summer Night Cool Down!

As Summer comes to an end the temperature starts to drop! Not quite cool enough to bring out your coats but definitely cool enough to feel a slight chill as you walk the park or stop for a drink. When I get dressed in the morning I try to wear clothes that can carry me from day to night with the slightest of ease without being too fussy! So my solution for the Summer Night Cool Down is to go with items that will keep you cool in the day but warm at night! Try a lightweight long sleeve dress or a quarter length sleeve. But the keep is to wear fabrics that BREATHE!! If you wear clothes that don't breathe you're in for a world of trouble!! Below is a little number that I think is great. It's a great color, fabulous embroidery, and it will give you that breathing room that I was talking about! Pin your hair up and let the outfit be the focus. Pile on the bangles and maybe stack a few rings and go with a simple earring! These tips will be sure to keep all eyes on you....and who knows maybe get you a drink or two!
