Pick of the day

blacklabelboutique.com

Here's an adorable drape dress by LnA. This is the type of dress that works perfectly day or night. Wear it with a leather jacket and a pair of motorcycle boots, like these one's here that I posted last week, and a scarf- you have a gorgeous outfit! Wear it at night with some heels, a little jewelry and a sexy hairdo and you're ready for the most posh party. You can find the dress at blacklabelboutique.com for $114, not too bad!

"Lindsay Lohan's Prison Look."


As most of you already know, Lindsay Lohan began her 90 day sentence yesterday for violating her probation on a previous drunk driving charge. Here's a great article from the NY Times on alternatives to the orange jumpsuit: http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/07/20/now-dressing-lindsay-lohans-prison-look/

Lovely Miss Saldana

I love, love, LOVE this dress that Zoe Saldana wore to Louis Vuitton and Glamour magazine party in LA. Head to toe, everything looks perfect. The nude pumps, the minimal jewelry, clutch, the braided hair... everything from head to toe, looks perfect. I just wish there were more opportunities for the rest of us to rock this outfit!

Wildfox Couture Fall 2010: It's Witchcraft from WILDFOX PR on Vimeo.

Here's a great outfit entirely from Forever 21. By pairing the striped skirt with a loose white t, the skirt becomes the focal point. These lace up ankle boots give the look a little edge and are very trendy. The gold and black accessories help to complete the look. The best part about this outfit? You can get everything you see here for just $77 at Forever21.com

Nordstrom anniversary sale on now!

Nordstrom's semi-annual anniversary sale started Friday, July 16th and ends on August 1st. Now's the perfect time to load up on your fall favorites and get them at a killer price. Here are some of my favorite's from the sale:

nordstrom.com

These over the knee boots by Guess, are on sale at Nordstrom for $129.90. After the sale they go back to the regular price of $198.95. I love these boots because the over the knee style is hot this fall and they are both stylish and at $130? Right now they're a steal.


nordstrom.com

Chunky sweaters are another fall favorite and would pair perfectly with the over the knee boots. This sweater is only $58.90 at Nordstrom but will go back up to $88 after the anniversary sale.

Fashion is knowing who you are

Pick of the day

shopbop.com

It's apparent that studs aren't going anywhere and I love adding a little extra edginess to my style. This pair aptly called "What goes around comes around" converse sneakers, are being sold at shopbop.com for $255. While I'm willing to pay that much for a pair of distressed motorcycle boots, I really can't justify that much for a pair of sneakers. You can actually make your own studded converse by buying a pair of regular hi-tops and applying some of your own store bought pyramid studs. The regular hi-tops run at around $50, and you can purchase some pyramid studs for fairly cheap, studsandspikes.com sells a bag of 25 for just under $9. This even gives you some room be creative and make your own pair of unique, one of a kind sneakers!

Fashion words of wisdom

“Beyond its creativity, renewal or money, it is glamour that proves fashion's perpetual seduction: glamour and its sense of idealization onto which every hope and fantasy can be projected; glamour and its implicit promise of a life devoid of mediocrity."

- Alicia Drake “The Beautiful Fall”

Cheryl Cole's got style

Cheryl Cole is one of those people whose closets I would love to raid. She always dresses in the latest trends and seemingly does it effortlessly. Here she is in an army green jumpsuit and military inspired heels. She's keeping the accessories minimal with just a black belt, bracelet, and earrings. Adorable!

Pick of the Day

Motorcycle boots are still going strong into the fall season and here are the perfect pair by Jeffrey Campbell, sold at freepeople.com for $268. That's definitely a little pricey for most people (myself included), but when you consider how many outfits you can pair them with it seems well worth it. Here are just a couple of options that you can consider:

If you haven't already purchased a pair of cargo skinny jeans, you might want to consider it now. They're one of the main trends hitting the fashion scene this fall. They can be found ranging in price anywhere from $60-$300+. Express ($60) and Blank denim sold at shop.com ($78) offer the cheaper alternatives.

We're starting to see a lot more classic fits popping up in the denim world and I am absolutely obsessed with this boot cut pair of Citizens of Humanity from shopbop.com. They are the perfect fit to flatter any body type and the classic dark wash make them incredibly versatile.

Dressing down, to dress up?



As many of you already know, the latest trend to hit the runway is sweatpants. Yes that's correct...sweatpants. Here are some pictures from fashion designer Wayne's fall show. I'm not really sure how I feel about this one. If I'm going to be wearing sweatpants out in public, I really am in no mood to be wearing heels. It's still early on so there aren't many products out on store shelves yet. Personally, I doubt I will ever purchase a pair of designer sweatpants because I don't foresee this trend lasting too long. It will definitely be a very tricky look to master, I foresee a LOT of fashion disasters coming along with this.
