Fall Fragrances..."scent of a woman"

I am wanting the new Burberry Fragrance, "Body" and I really like Paco Rabone, "Lady Million". Both of these can be found in Sephora and are perfect for day to night. They leave a very nice trail of spices and very clean/fresh but deep and woodsy.  A classic all-time fave of mine is "Chance" by Chanel and Gucci, "Guilty". What are some of your favorites this season?

S>H>O>E>S!!!!!!!


How could you not LOVE: Brian Atwood, Jimmy Choo, Louboutins, Vera Wang, LV, MUI MUI, Dani Black, Prada, Gucci, SEVEN, etc.

*Who knew that J.C. Penny could actually be styllish...they have made a comeback as far as department store status. I shopped there as a teen and now I'd go as a young adult for boots like these!
These just scream, "GRRRRRRRR", so tribal and funky! Feather detail all over the place, xoxox
Purple is like the new black...just do it for a bit of spice!
I need these $995 Louboutins shoes in my life...sexy, spiked heel and a MAJOR hard tipped toe. Blue and Gold are so regal together....just beautiful <3
Do you own Pink Pumps yet? The best month is now to score a pair as it is Breast Cancer Awarness Month...so perffffect excuse to Rock the hell out of some pink right? Pink just yells out femine, sexy and soft but fearless!
 Just the Basics! These are a staple piece in any woman's wardrobe. They are on my wishlist, Red Bottom=Louboutin baby!!!!
These just say, "Who runs the world...girls" lol. Ummmm let's see, Black, Leather, Embossed Croc detail, Peep Toe, 6 inches, Tassles, and Zippers! What more could a girl dream of for a bootie?
I call these...FUNKY and FUTURISTIC!
The bootie in the middle is by MUI MUI and the colors are on point...major color blocking going on right here.Just Pretty!

These look dangerous but comfortable...a wedge is perfect for some City walking. I call these Bad Ass <3
I saw these in Soho, NYC....I wanted them but left them behind to buy a patent leather black messenger tote instead :) The chain laces are so sick on these though....I may need to go back ASAP


*The two below are Jessica Simpson! My girl Andrea G. bought a pair for like $75 from Macy's. I love these so much and they were comfy for being so high. The Mary-Jane strap is a nice detail for your foot when worn. Patent leather details as well as some snake print on the toe. SEXY

These were from the Summer but the brand is Dani Black and can be found for a good price at your local Marshall's...Teal can be taken from summer to Fall but leave home for winter especially if they are suede. I settled on Baker's for some Teal, Peep Toe Slingback Stilletto's this year and they were only $40.
Just Cute and sky high! Just how I like them.

SWEET FEET! Always a sucker for pink and patent leather black :)

Fashion Headliner's...Accessories

 Black and Gold jewelry is so cool! I think this should always be handy to pull out when you need it and never out of style...goes with everything when silver just won't do. These pieces all have a bit of edge and personality to them. I could wear any of these and not even think twice about it. Great places to get this stuff cheap is Aldo, H&M, Arden B. and F21
Cuffs are everywhere this season in a huge trendy way! Call it a "Style Alert" if you must! :) This one shon is cool because of the way it locks. Statement piece.
The makeup is gorgeous and the necklace is BOLD. Go big and bold this season and try changing the way you wear your accessories. People love necklaces but are afraid to wear them...the bigger you go the less you do onyour ears. Keep it clean and simple but please DO make a scene!
 The round look is back...not every pair is for every face but I am a fan of these Giorgio Armani's. Classic and black, just timeless really!
 These are LV...aka Louis Vuitton! These have been spotted on Nicki Minaj and Angelina Jolie who actually is a face of LV for the past few years. I would love a pair of these as they hit my style right on the money! <3
 Instead of staying with safe colors like black and camel mix things up by having color on a bag, clutch, wallet or belt. Color blocking can be easy when it's done for you. This bag is very Hobo meets Neo Soul.
Tell me these shades aren't dope? Elton John and Cee-Lo aren't the only ones who can pull this look off! They go for about $300 but that's the average pricepoint for any designer shades these days...and that's cheap on the market lol. Why are sunglasses not so popular anymore? It was a trend 3 years ago and faded out but Celebs still rock them 24/7!
 I am obsessed with snakes and snake print! This bracelet can also be a cuff worn low or higher up on the arm. Fancy in the gold...silver just wouldn't do it justice!

 This necklace is diamonds and by Harry Winston....featured in every fashion mag this season as a HOT item. "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" so my eyeswere naturally drawn to the style and collar details. This piece is sexy and unique.


*I would really like a Jimmy Choo snake skin laptop bag...$1100 and multi-functional! Looking for a cheaper version in the meantime.

 Stella & Dot Gold Spiked Ring...awesome! Also has a matching bracelet, earrings, and necklace that are available from this collection! http://www.stellaanddot.com/
 I am modeling some of the pieces from Stella & Dot at my house party/trunk show 10/22/11. Fun times and the line is amazing. The cuff is ridiculously beautiful and the necklace felt so nice on...a real conversation piece. The earrings match the cuff if you like sets and very affordable :)
 *My outfit: Celebrity Pink Jeans $19.99, White Baggy Cami, $9.99 H&M, Navy Cotton Blazer, F21 $15-, Camel patent pointy pumps, Nine West $30

Media Lovin': Hats and Jackets


I have seen this Burberry Trench on LaLa Anthony on her show, LaLa's Full Court Life and it is a classic piece to have if you can afford it. Most definetely "Rebellious" and sooo cool. You gotta love Burberry for being so creative and edgy these days. Well known and well respected in the fashion game. Who loves a GLAM trench for Fall? I dooooo!
 It is ok to mix colors...do NOT try to coordinate and be matchy...coordinate to be different and unique. Color blocking is big on all levels of fashion and how you get dressed. Be bold and be different. Getting dressed and shopping should be fun so go with what is NOT the norm. The mustard with the teal gloves was love at first sight. Skinny Jeans and boots will keep you warm throughout the Fall season.
For a vey Chic and Clean look this cold season, go with a classy look that screams ELEGANCE and GRACE. You show your bad girl side by doing a smoky eye and red lips for makeup or even a nice cat eye with eye liner but stay fresh in winter white and statement leather driving gloves. You really can't go wrong with Black and White paired together.
Leather and Knit go hand and hand. Popular by all designer's right now and the side zip is always a feature a look for with the details on a jacket. Biker girl anyone?
 Big neutral bags are easy to go with everything! I love this Birkin look paired with something so simple but oh so pulled together.
 I need this Burberry hat! So HOT. I have always been a fan of animal print but when you add fur and something other than a leopard print then you will be have my attention and many others' as well!

LOVE RIGHT NOW!

Snake Ring>$7 @Limelight NYC


 You can't go wrong with Sam Edelman!!! These Studded pumps have been spotted all year long in every color and print <3..they go for $200 and can be found at any major Dept. store! (Lord&Taylor, Nordstrom, etc.)
 My oh My! Spikes are so sick...don't be afraid of them just embrace them and show that you are a fearless dresser. Wardrobes should have edge, personality and tell a story! Dare to be different...Dare to be you!



 Make a statement with your shoes all year round. FYI, animal print never goes out of style and for city walking, keep a pair of cool sneakers around to coordinate with skinny jeans and dresses.

I always LUST for Hugo BOSS women's! I would rock these fur booties in a heartbeat...catch me if you can this  FALL 2011. Check out the rest of their new line in stores..Copley Place, Natick Collection or online!

This belt is GUCCI...every major female celeb has one! I want this soooo bad. Price point is around $900.
