ONLINE SHOPPING

I REALLY DON'T SHOP ONLINE....EVER! ALTHOUGH I LIKE THE IDEA OF IT , I JUST PREFER TO LOOK AND TOUCH IN PERSON. I LOVE THE THOUGHT OF BEING IN A STORE RATHER THAN ON A COMPUTER. THROUGHOUT THE YEARS I HAVE GATHERED MANY WEBSITES THAT I LIKE TO BROWSE THROUGH AND ALTHOUGH I MAY NOT BUY, I CERTAINLY GET INSPIRED FOR THE LOOKS THEY PUT TOGETHER. BROWSING CAN CERTAINLY KEEP YOU "IN THE KNOW" AND TRENDY ABOUT WHAT LOOKS GOOD TOGETHER AS WELL AS COLORS AND LAYERING. IF I WERE YOU I WOULD CHECK OUT MY FAVORITE SITES FOR WOMEN'S CLOTHING:

*ASOS.COM
*RUE LA LA
*IKRAM.COM

Fall Necessities!








Fall is finally here whether you hate it or absolutely love it! Fall trends are very easy to shop and really easy to find. You can be classic with your style or very edgy and trendy. Whatever way you choose just have fun and don't be afraid of color in your wardrobe. Just because summer has left us doesn't mean that you can't look happy and in your best year round. Pieces that I can't live without right now are: Leopard scarf Combat flat boots Riding boots Colorful ballerina flats Cognac belt Leopard print belt Comfy suede loafers Booties/peeptoe Pumps in a statement color (purple,blue,emerald green) Pattern tights/lace, fishnet, leopard or colored Long Black cotton leggings Trench Coat Preppy Blazer Dark Skinny jeans Red pants/denim,cotton,silk,etc. Faux fur vest Leather(pants,skirts,vests,leggings,jacket) Cotton White fitted button-down shirt Sweaters/cardigans (long & striped)

Rebellious Cuffs

I adore accessories more than ever! I am so happy that Fall trends are offering so many styles with the best alert being CUFFS for men and women. There are leather styles, jeweled beauties, metal tones and very edgy, street chic options. I have found many styles that I purchased within the price points of $5-30 which I believe is fairly reasonable. These fashion statements can make your outfit complete and better yet be a show- stopper! Forget big earrings this season, just purchase a statement cuff and wear one on either wrist.....two cuffs give drama but one can be a special piece to make any outfit look good! The best stores to score this look are:

1. Forever 21
2. H&M
3. Banana Republic
 4. Limelight Marketplace NYC(my new fave spot)
5. Aldo accessories
6. 3 4 4 Newbury
7. Francesca's
8. Cache
9. Nuvou Copley
*Splurges: Hermes or Burberry

*The snake skin cuff in the picture was a steal in NYC..only $20 @ Limelight Marketplace.
*The Gold Laced Bling Cuff belongs to Lori Mantoni and featured on Danielle Scelfo's wrist for display. The cuff is worth more than $300 and Lori scored a great deal for it online prior to her wedding date. This piece to me is FIERCE and timeless....classic chic :)
