Thigh High/Over the knee Boots: Yay or Nay

Louis Vuitton
This may just be one of the biggest fashion debates of all time. Some may shudder at the very thought and others cannot resist the leathery temptation.The only problem is the designers don’t actually care about the implied eroticism of the thigh-high boots. In fact, they are frequently related to eroticism, boot fetishism, prostitutes and professional dominatrices, so it’s a good idea to know how to wear them properly.Sexy is not even the word...how about slightly cheeky aka slutty. But when there's a will there's a WAY!

Emilio Pucci
Ways to wear these boots:
.Long jackets w/skinnies,leggings
.Sweater Dresses
.Off the shoulder sweaters
.Ponchos
.Cardigans
Also try more demure colors like black, gray, brown, green and tan.Word to the wise ladies 5'4" under shouldn't wear these styles as it will you swallow you and make you look like puss in boots ***Yay,Shrek reference.

I gotta go with...YAY! Proceed with caution

Trend Report

Hippie Headbands

For some odd reason this trend is coming back. I remember when I rocked this back in '08 and got some pretty weird looks all over Brooklyn. *Sigh*

How to Rock the Hippie Headband:
1. Part hair in either a straight part down the middle, or create a loose jig-jag part down the middle of your head.

2. Wrap a skinny headband around the top of your forehead, avoid tucking your hair behind your ears!

3. If you have bangs, wear the headband over your bangs.

4. Throughout the day/night check your headband and avoid mushroom head(:D) by tucking your hair in.

Multi-Color Nails
It must be the year of LOUD color everywhere-hair,nails,etc.I gave you all an example of my "Purple Zebra" nails a couple post below. It's fun,just try it. That's why they created polish remover!

Now your nails will always match your outfit..


Leopard Scarves
Any animal print (even Zebra) can be very classic and trendy when done in small amounts.

Scarf from Echo


Brown is the color
You must have an essential go to bag without print or any other distraction just for school or work. Trust me,it goes w/everything and looks S-H-A-R-P!

Burberry bag
Tip: Go Brown w/bags,boots and watches:)

Purple Eyeshadow

This a universally beautiful color on every skin tone. Hot Makeup look this fall!

Jackets,Coats,Potatoes,Pah-Taa-toes...
First of all,you need to know what length of coat you want,the style of the coat,comfort and of course the price. I went to the Burlington Coat factory two weeks ago and I got this adorable coat from Jones New York.

$79 and I got it in Charcoal gray. It's unbelievably warm and CHIC.See? You don't have to sacrifice style for warmth in fall/winter? Of course when it gets to 45 degrees and below. I have two bulky (northface and southpole) jackets!

I tend to go for black for all my essentials i.e my purses,coats,wallets. I'm weird like that. So getting a grey winter coat was a huge step. Alo the cut was a huge step. It' a lot shorter than I would typically go for but I fell in love with it when I see it. The belt is like POW,you can't miss it but it's really tasteful and elegant. And of coure the buttons are so exquisite and it's so luxurious looking. Yum

If you want a shorter jacket like mine with a little more color,check out this

If you want a longer jacket but not bulky,check out this

Faux Suede Coat with Toggle front by Larry Levine $69. I Love this. I wish I had seen this coat in the store. How fabulous is this,GAH. Chic.Chic.Chic

If you're looking for a trendy cheap trench coat,Lookie here

I know what you're thinking-it looks light. It's fully lined inside and it's cotton. The coat hits at the knee...plus it's screams style,sophistication and a little daring.

All of these coats can be found at your nearest Burlington Coat factory. It's the only place to get a coat. It has the biggest selection.Go!

What every girl needs in her closet for fall

I brushed upon the topic of "What's trendy" for fall but I wanted to create my own specific list. Here goes:


A short leather jacket preferably in black. This look has been making its way in and out of the fashion scene for the past two years. A short leather jacket can easily transform a look to make it edgy or edgier.It's good piece to wear with feminine dresses or above the knee skirts;you can mix the soft with the hard.I'm still looking for my perfect one:-)


A fashionable trench coat. Of course the word FASHIONABLE varies person to person but it's a fall staple and a must. To add a little color into your fall wardrobe,try wearing a bold red,cobalt blue or eggplant purple.


A good pair of boots. They're some many types to choose from. Self explanatory!


A purse/handbag that's versatile enough to wear all season round. I love handbags with- medium to long- length straps,especially when I'm looking for a new school bag. It's alot easier to carry my books. I love alot of pockets and compartments inside to keep everything organized. And a top zipper is so important especially if you travel on public transit. It's full of pick pocketers and weirdos. I live in Brooklyn,I know.


Side note: It's Lauren Conrad...she's so cute. I love her!)
A plaid shirt. I have three and I don't know how that happened. BUT they're all different colors,sizes and patterns. I really love my electric blue buffalo plaid one.It's similar to the one Ms.Conrad is wearing.


A sweater dress is one of the fashions that basically looks good on anyone. Of course it depends on the size of the dress and the cute. Sweater dresses aren't generally worn tight.They look great with skinny jeans,leggings&knee highs.I have at least four sweater dress from last year. I need new ones:)


Last but not least...

At least three great pairs of denim. Get a skinny jean,cigarette jean,and a boot cut or flared jean. It's good to have different pairs of jeans for a different look.I love jeans. I live in them. To see me in a skirt or dress is a rare,rare,rare honor.

FOR BOOTS!
I absolutely love boots especially leather boots.During the fall and winter, I live in my Jessica Simpson boots.My boots end mid-calf;they're leather and a light caramel color. The girl can do no wrong in my eyes. I love her!!! She's gorgeous,talented,a sweetheart and makes fabulous shoes. My boots are from fall/winter 08 so there aren't on www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com anymore.I recommend you check out her collection for trendy and sturdy boots.
It's only August but I couldn't resist googling boots for the upcoming season.

I know the "bootie" lovers are frapping now. These boots are from the Jessica Simpson collection. It costs $149, They're available in black,mahogany and saddle brown. I love the bow-tie detailing at the side. It's not too much but it's eye catching. And if you can walk in these heels,Bless you:)

Caramel toned leather boots are the absolute best.They give off that little country feel without the cornyness of cowboy boots. **Cowboy boots=over,done,over processed** I love wearing my caramel boots with my dark blue rinse skinny jeans. You can't go wrong with skinny jeans and boots.They are flawless together... These are from Aldo's,check out www.aldoshoes.com. They are the "Arnis" boot and it'll cost you $160. I'm not a huge fan of Aldo's but occasionally they have really cute shoes. These boots also come in black and maogghany.

These are a little riding boot-esque. They're from Naturalizer,check out www.naturalizer.com. Naturalizer is definitely underrated,they carry strong and trendy shoes.It's $129 and it only comes in this color-black suede.

Here are a couple of quirky boots from Urban Outfitters:

Kimchi Blue Foldover Bootie $88

Seychelles Vamp Bootie $128

Minnetonka Fringe Boot $78

Dr.Martens Floral 1460 $128

Jeffrey Campbell Cutout Bootie $99
