Over the Knee Obsessed

I can honestly say I am obsessed with the over the knee boot for this Fall. It is not like this was not an ultra chic trend last Fall. I just wasn't sure if I was ready to take it on in. Well, I have turned over a new leaf in the past couple weeks and I am ready. Here are a few pairs that have caught my eye.

Colin Stewart at Victoria's Secret - $134.40 (with coupon). Also comes in black and at the top of my list.




TopShop - $210



Chineese Laundry at Amazon - $65





Can you see yourself in any of these boots this Fall?

Walking In Style

One of my favorite trends this Fall (and I have a couple) is leopard print. I have chose to focus on leopard print shoes but I also adore an animal print clutch, scarf, skirt or whatever piece stands out. The key to wearing any animal print is in modesty. Too much and you will look like a jungle cat. Just the right amount and you will be walking in style.

Which pair would you wear?

Splurge or Save

 
Vintage Inspired One-Shoulder Dress - $61.99   
 

One-Shoulder Lanvin Dress - $985

I am all about the one-should dress. I think it's ultra feminine with a hint of sex appeal. It's ok to bare a little skin and step outside the box. I was searching around my new favorite online boutique and found this one-shoulder blue dress with ruffles on the shoulder. Love it! And, it's affordable. On the other hand, Ellen Pompeo is pulling this one-shoulder Lanvin dress off perfectly. The only difference is a hefty price.

So...what would you do? Save or Splurge?

Traverse City Trip

I can honestly say these past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind. During the whirlwind, we spent a couple days in Traverse City, Michigan. We had an amazing time driving through the vineyards all the way to Mission Peninsula, eating at a Bistro, taking Ruby to a dog beach and walking around the city. It was amazing!

After breakfast and a coffee at an adorable restaurant, we went to a dog beach. I have never seen Ruby so spastic; and trust me, she is a spaz.

I chose a simply blue and white stripe top from Forever 21, a pair of skinny jeans from Banana Republic and sunglasses from Forever 21. This outfit was comfortable and perfect for a day full of activities.

Celebrity Style For Less

I was browsing through my InStyle magazine yesterday and came across a black and white striped blazer from Anthropology for $98. I thought it was adorable and would be perfect for a day of lunch and shopping.

And then today I was reading Glamour online and came across Keri Hilson wearing the almost exact jacket. The difference? Keri's jacket is from Givenchy's Spring 2010 collection. Riccardo Tisci , an elite designer in Paris who happened to make this jacket, has rock has editors pining to buy and rock stars' stylists competing for first dibs.

Which would you buy? A $98 jacket or one that doubles in price?
