Fall Trend: Fur Trimmed Bags September 22nd, 2010 By

One of the new trends for fall is fur trimmed bags.  Nothing screams winter like fur or faux fur accessories.  The key to pulling off this look is finding a bag that incorporates other fabrics, such as textured leather or suede, so the fur is less dominating.  If you want to fully embrace the trend, consider fur bags with hardware and embellishments for more of an impact.  This bag is one of my current favorites, and it’s so affordable!  I can see myself wearing it with everything from olive anoraks to silky caftans.

Get This Look: Jessica Szohr March 26th, 2010 By

At a recent Jill Stuart fashion show in New York City, Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr rocked an effortlessly sexy look, perfect for a hot date or a night out with the girls. She layered a trench coat over a white mini cutout dress, then finished off with two standout accessories – a black clutch and red hot peep-toe stilettos for a burst of color. With her side-swept bangs and smoky eye makeup, Jessica was the epitome of that last minute, thrown-together look so many women hope to achieve. It’s easier than you think to steal Jessica’s sassy style as long as you own a few key pieces from her wardrobe!

Jessica’s mini dress with sheer black cutouts is by designer Jill Stuart, but you can opt for a simpler and far more affordable one like this New York & Company frock. Its sleek silhouette and sweetheart neckline are flattering, while subtle metallic accents give it a boost of glamour.

New York & Company White Strapless Mini Dress, $89.95

Banana Republic’s nylon trench ($130) is the perfect shade of brown – they call it root beer float! Like Jessica’s, this trench is classic and lightweight, ideal for layering over a dress at night or pairing with a more casual weekend outfit.

Take a cue from Jess by pairing your outfit with a basic black clutch. This super affordable version by Converse ($16.99) features zippers, braided straps, and several compartments, combining function and fashion!

Converse One Star Foldover Clutch, $16.99

Finally, Jessica’s look just isn’t complete without those stilettos! A pair of lipstick-red heels, like these flirty Nine West peep toe platforms ($49.47), offer the perfect finishing touch.

Shoe Cravings: Shoes in Every Hue October 9th, 2009 By

Spice up any outift with bold, colorful shoes

Spice up any outfit with bold, colorful shoes

Anyone that knows me can tell you I’m a huge fan of bold color.  Whether I’m shopping for scarves, cardigans, or curtains, I’m drawn to rich vibrant shades of orange, purple, green, yellow and red.  Maybe it’s because I get bored easily and need to shake things up, or maybe because I’m the youngest of five and sometimes need to grab attention: either way, I love to add splashes of bright color to any outfit.

My favorite colorful accessory is an eye-catching pair of shoes.  Don’t get me wrong, I keep plenty of basic blacks and browns in my repertoire, but I can’t live without at least one pair of luscious purple pumps or spicy orange flats to mix things up once in a while.  Why not live out the latest trend with a pair of sexy red suede ankle boots?

A pair of juicy orange flats can brighten any day

A pair of juicy orange Michael Kors flats can brighten any day

Living in Los Angeles, I miss out on leaves changing color every fall (which totally makes me homesick for the Midwest), but at least I can keep that color scheme alive with fabulous footwear.
