Blame it on Mad Men. The uber-feminine, ladylike style a la the 1950’s is making a serious comeback - just take a look at these stills from the Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 show. My favorite part about this trend? It flatters all body types!
Pulling off this look is all in the details:
Kate Spade Casie $298
Macy’s, Charter Club Cotton A-line Skirt $33.74
Target Shiraleah Harper Zipper Satchel $34.99
Neiman Marcus, Ray Ban Clubmaster Sunglasses $139

The blog world has been buzzing about – well, you’ve probably already guessed from the title of this post – shoes with fur trim! There are many a pair of booties, platforms and flats this season adorned with this new trend and while some are sexy, others look a bit strange.

Are you ready for this? Take a look at these amazing advertisements featuring the latest fall trends – and do a double take at the pricing I’m about to reveal! Most of this line is under $50 and all of it is definitely under $100. Any ideas yet?
This collection belongs to… Kmart! Pretty fabulous, huh? Are you a fan?
Lots of love,

At last night’s Teen Choice Awards, Sandra Bullock accepted her award for choice movie actress in a drama (The Blind Side) wearing a casual – and sexy – outfit that included a pair of J. Brand leather pants:
These J. Brand 912 Waxed Venom Skinny Jeans are available now at Neiman Marcus for $198:
What do you think? Would you give these pants a shot?

Walk into a J. Crew store and soon you will be amazed by all of the sparkly things inside. And, no, I’m not talking about their great jewelry line… I’m talking sequins! Sequins galore on just about any item of clothing you can imagine:
Swap in one of these pieces to give your outfit some serious oomph!

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?
