Get sentimental with welly boots, statement rings and Elizabeth & James fashions.
Well you know when we are talking about Welly boots that the probability of rain is just around the corner.

Let’s just say that going to that party tonight is going to be very interesting indeed!

Start your rain proof outfit with some welly boots. Now being British myself, I remember back when I lived in the UK when these little treasures were very fashionable. In fact I don’t think that they ever went out of fashion! Here are a few of my favorite picks!

Add a little style with these checkered wellys. And at $51.00 a pair, they are a steal!

Yes Fall is just around the corner. Alas if we are lucky we will have a glimpse of an Indian summer breaking into September up into early October. But still as the seasons change so does our wardrobe. I always feel a tang bit sad when fall comes around. The leaves start falling, awaiting the colder months ahead. But, I do love the colors of autumn. Which are rich in bold reds, sienna browns, yellows, and greens. These are the colors we can gain inspiration from! Even lilacs and lavenders, and blues are pushing forth their awesome colors. In the jewelry and accessories department. But what has Europe got going on in the fall department? Let’s find out!

THE FALL SHOE

High Boots

Knee-high or over-the-knee styles are best paired with mini lengths and go great with wool mini skirts. These long boots will take lightweight dresses into winter. And the Soft suede styles in the palest of hues are the feminine choice of the season.

THE FALL HANDBAG

Baby Bags

Wheter it’s Perspex boxes, pompoms, or frilled leather purses. The more fanciful your bag, the better! Don’t reserve these handbags just for evening outings - these little gems deserve to be displayed all day!

THE FALL JEWELRY & GLOVES

Costume Jewelry

From chunky wooden beads, giant Deco cuffs, and bold neck pieces… Jewelry comes super-sized! As long as it makes an impact, anything goes.

Gloves

Experiment with bold colors or try glossy black leather. The perfect glove length? Ending halfway up the forearm.

Any way you tie it, bows are making their way into every detail for pre-fall fashion ensembles. From 1970’s-inspired frilly neck tops (like Miley’s plaid variety) to big 1980’s prom dress inspired bows like on Molly Sims and V-Becks, these girly details are truly divine.

The truly daring can pair a frilly neck top with high-waist pants and open toe booties for a seriously fierce office ensemble. And if you are feeling extra saucy, then go for the big satiny bow effect and look for cocktail dresses with a halter neckline and a bow tie at the back, or even a more retro style like on Molly Sims.

If you’re not so sure you are ready to look like a blast from the past, then check out these bowed beauties to get a taste of this trend in a more subtle way:

Betsey Johnson Bow Bangle Watch, $75.00

The perfect accessory to give a menswear look a more feminine feel.

Leather Mini Bow Bag, $29.99

The perfect way to wear this bag: sugar and spice. Pair this uber girly purse with fierce gladiator sandals and a leather (or latex) mini.

STEAL:

Lela Rose for Payless “Peggy” Wedge Sandal, $30.00

My personal favorite, this slingback peep-toe wedge sandal is both timeless and trendy. Worn with a vintage-style flowery dress or to add a little sweetness to a menswear look, this shoe is both versatile and fun.

SPLURGE:

Escada Mini Houndstooth Bow Dress, $1,690.00

Unfortunately, I have to pay the old mortgage this month, otherwise this dress would be in my closet right now. Feel free to send me one in a size 10. Thanks.

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!

What won’t they think of next? Those crazy designers are always putting a spin on new trends to make them newer, and the peep-toe bootie is the latest reincarnation. It’s like a peep-toe pump and ankle boot all in one. I’m not so sure how I feel about them yet, although, I always like a good peep-toe. Celebs seem to be flocking to them like Olsens to gladiator sandals, so you’ll be sure to see them on the streets this fall.

Can’t wait to get your hands (and feet!) on these babies for this fall? Check out these super cute boots and get them now to be ahead of the trend:

Steve Madden “Midory” Bootie. $99.90 at Nordstroms

Metallic leather, high heel, ruching, side button detail…what’s not to love, and for under $100! These are the perfect booties to pair with any dress for evening. These are also great for girls that are a little self-conscious about their legs (hello, me!) because they aren’t going to strangle your calf.

Guess by Marciano “Nitty” Slingback Oxford, $84.90 at Nordstrom

This menswear-inspired bootie is the perfect one to try if you are not so sure of this trend. The peep-toe and sling back make this shoe easy to wear, and the lace-up oxford look make it perfect for the office.

Vince Camuto “Karl” Oxford, $124.95 at Nordstrom 

This is the shoe for the ultimate fashionista…fierce yet feminine, this Vince Camuto shoe is perfect for red carpets and sidewalks alike. Cutout and buckle details, as well as the lace-up oxford look make this fun shoe daring and sophisticated at the same time.

So no matter what your style, or level of commitment to this look, there is a peep-toe “shoetie” out there for you. Happy shopping!

By now, you have probably built up a pretty good tan. Had your nails manicured and pedicured. And are wearing the best your summer wardrobe has to offer. Well the biggest trend we have seen this season is the Gladiator sandal.

This patent gladiator sandal, can’t get more daring. This very “Greek” look has captivated all of us including some of our fashion models.

Christy Turlington Burns, Courteney Cox, and Mary Kate Olsen all have the gladiator sandal this season. So gain inspiration from them!

Matt Bernson Gladiator Sandals

Matt Bernson Gladiator Sandals retail at $175.00. These add flare and comfort to your step. Double buckled with gold studs at the padded leather foot bed.
