mix, match and play

while keeping it simple is always a hit, sometimes you've just got to have a little fun. and nothing says fun like mixing polka dots with leopard print. it's the unusual that keeps things interesting and exciting.

long skirt trend

i've been seeing this trend here and there, and i must say, i'm liking it a lot! i haven't seen long skirts done in the winter for a very long time, so it's a revival of sorts...but in a fun and modern way. it's most appealing to me when done monochromatically, as michael kors did in his fall 2010 rtw show. tone on tone with a cool, easy, hip-slung belt and you've got a look that's incredibly chic.

cozy booties

it's friday and it's officially fall, and so of course i was doing what every other girl in the world was - online shopping for new boots. and i saw these. and i l.o.v.e. them.

these rugged yet cozy booties by lamb are so perfect. they've got a great neutral shade, a wonderfully soft-looking shearling cuff, cool lace-up ties, a glamorous 5 inch heel, and the perfectly rounded toe. all that's missing is me (or you) in them.
