We all wonder what to wear sometimes. And each day brings with it a new evaluation of our wardrobe. But I love weekends, as it means getting away from the office. And doing something different. Showing your style for that fun weekend at a party, club or restaurant. Means that it is time to shine! Today we’ve got some great ideas for that cool end of summer weekend.

Graphic Tee only $19.99

This fashionably graphic tee, is great to have fun in and is excellent paired with waist high jeans. Dress it up or down. This look is great from daytime shopping with girlfriends. To going straight to the club! Wear it casually with jeans, or wear it as a hot dress with pumps for an evening look.

High Waist Skinny Jean - Teen Clothing by Wet $39.50

Pair that cool graphic tee with a dark skinny jean. That way it looks great from a day outfit to an evening look if you so wish. Having a daring pair of shoes to accompany this whole outfit is where the fun starts. Try these on for style!

Red pointed toe bootie heel pump retails for only $21.99

Finish the look with a well chosen Miu Miu handbag. I like the look of a contemporary feel to a Miu Miu bag. This accents the glam of the tee and striking shoes.

Go contemporary with Miu Miu for only $165.00

But however you feel to mix your wardrobe up this weekend, remember to have fun with it and get your funk on!

Botkier for Target Fuchsia Hobo, $39.99

VS.

Botkier Morgan Fringe Tote, $675.00

I practically gave myself whiplash at Target this weekend when I ran across their Botkier for Target line…all I can say is WOW!!! Okay, so the bags are PVC and not leather, but holy cow. These are hot. For what it costs to fill my tank with gas right now, I can own a truly designer-style handbag. The quality was excellent and the bags were right on trend with what’s going to be hot this fall and winter. Check them out:

Editor’s Picks:

White “Python” Bag, $39.99

This is the ultimate year round workin’ gal bag…smart and sleek, this one will easily go from the board room to a night out, and goes with just about everything.

Goldtone Wristlet, $19.99

For under $20, the perfect going-out bag can be yours. I love the pouchette look, and this bag can easily go from being a wristlet to a clutch.

Black “Python” Shoulder Bag, $29.99

This is probably the standout bag from Botkier’s Target line…high-shine faux-python and the chain strap detail make this bag both fierce and fun.

So if you are watching your wallet like everyone else right now, but still need to quench your thirst for fabulous fashion, then keep checking with Target. They never fail to amaze me with the big names they bring in, so keep them coming please please please!

Kim Kardashian and her sisters hosted the “Style LA” runway show last night (July 28th 2008) at The Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica, California ! The show was a hit with the models sporting everything from swimwear to evening gowns.

However the real stars of the show shone above the rest – each sister showed her own personal style : Kloe in a bejeweled brown cocktail dress, Kourtney in a sexy, simple little black dress and Kim in a fitted white shirt and beige high-waited pencil skirt - but the Piece de Resistance was the beautiful Pantera ear cuff in 18K yellow gold and diamonds with a sparkling Fleur De Lis Charm, which gave the demure outfit a Sexy and Naughty edge!! That made the outfit totally sizzle on the sexy Kim we know and love!

Pantera is available online at www.panterajewels.com and also in stores including Kim Kardashian’s DASH in LA.
