I’m all for taking a fashion risk because I really do think that there is a time and place for everything. That said, the new patent leather and stiletto over-the-knee boots you’ll see on celebs come fall probably won’t fit well as a day-to-day clothing option for the average woman. We have to go to work, take the kids to soccer practice, walk the dog – which is why these boots from LOFT are the perfect compromise:
LOFT Jossa Suede Over the Knee Flat Boots $158
You still get in on the over-the-knee trend with these boots! However, the stone color, suede fabric and flat heel is practical, yet sexy :)
Would you wear these boots?

When a man wears sneakers with a suit, it can be appropriate and stylish if in the right setting. However, here is Zac Efron heading over to NBC’s Today show yesterday and not only is he rockin’ the dressed-up sneaker look, he paired it with a denim shirt:
To my male readers, this poses a question. Would you wear this outfit?
To my ladies, also a question. What do you think of Zac’s outfit?
Let me know your answers in the comments section!

I’m so glad everyone liked Monday’s House of Herbert look! Aileen’s directions are super easy to understand and will really help if you want to copycat these model makeovers. Next up, round 2 of instructions from Aileen using Motives Cosmetics! “Bronze Beach Goddess” for the Inca Swimwear show at Miami Fashion Week Swim:
1. Begin by applying Perfecting Face Primer and then foundation
2. Prep the face using concealer to touch up any imperfections
3. If possible, it is best to blend in concealer with foundation in a setting with natural light
4. Use Full Coverage Photo Finish Powder in Mocha to contour under the cheekbones, over the forehead and around chin (make it look sun kisses)
5. Apply Pressed Bronzer in Miami Glow to bridge of nose, high cheek bone and temples to highlight
6. Use Essential Brow Kit to fill in and lightly darken the eyebrows – finish with the wax
7. Prep the eye with Eye Base
8. Use Lux Creme Eye Shadow in Brown Sugar all over the eyelids
9. Add Pressed Eye Shadow in Hazelnut at the center of the lid
10. While blending, use Pressed Eye Shadow in Sweet Chocolate at the edge of the lid and contour it as a V shape
11. Apply Pressed Eye Shadow in Vintage Glam at the inside corner, blend softly together with Hazelnut
12. Make a thin line around the base and inside of each eye with Kohl Eyeliner in Suede, blend in to soften
14. Finish eyes with Lustrafy High Definition Mascara in Onyx
13. Complete the look with Lip Crayon in Neutral and Rich Formula Lipstick in Peach Puff (blot)
Which look do you prefer? Asian Fox or Bronze Beach Goddess?
Love,
Loren
