Fall In Love With Fashion

Ahhh. Fall, the most beautiful season of the year is here! The golden leaves, and the Indian summer days are a couple of things that make Fall my favorite season. Not only because I happen to be born in the Fall, but because of the FASHION! This is the best time for fashionistas to play with layers and textures. Why not take a risk with the season's latest apparel and really show the world what you're made of? In honor of fall fashion, I thought I'd start you guys off with the basics necessities:

1. Trench Coat - A classic piece for fall. Every time I think of fall I think trench!

2. Boots- Boots were basically made for fall. This is an essential piece for fall, regardless of the length and style. But, this season you'll be seeing a lot of over the knee boots.

3. Sweaters - Yet another piece that's synonymous with Fall. Sweaters and cardigans are essential to any fall wardrobe. You can mix this up with anything from jeans to leggings, and have a different look each time.

4. Leather Jacket - A piece that is needed, especially for those chilly nights. It gives an edge and instant cool to any outfit. You can't go wrong with a leather.

With these key pieces for fall eyebelieve you'll be well on your way to becoming a Fall Fashionista(o). Do you have a favorite Fall piece? Let us know!

Jimmy Choo x Ugg

Whether wearing sweatpants, leggings, or a pair of jeans, a pair of Ugg boots are a girl's best friend (next to diamonds). They took some getting used too, and of course we have those who still resent them, but Uggs go well with almost anything, and they're the perfect price; whether you're investing in them, or just treating yourself. Designers are getting used to collaborating with lower brands to increase sales or to give the "Maxinasta" something she can afford. Check out the Ugg Jimmy Choo Kaia Zebra-Print Suede Boots! The winter warmer UGG boots have been given a glamorous re-vamp thanks to a fantastic partnership with party heels shoe brand Jimmy Choo. Love them? Like them? They won't be as easy to pay for as they are to fall in love with. You'll pay $595 if you're looking to get these bad boys! The Jimmy Choo x Ugg beauties will hit the stores and websites on October 21st!

Will you be buying these Uggs?

Perfect Transition Shoes

What shoes can transition from Summer to Fall?
Finding the perfect transition item can be a challenge, but when found they're the best items in anyone's closet. The item(s) can range from blouses, skirts, and most importantly shoes. Doesn't it feel great to be able to wear your favorite pair of platforms in the Summer and Fall? It can be a journey to find the perfect shoe that doesn't show too much toe but enough to be considered sexy for the weather. I have put together shoes that will fit perfectly into your wardrobe and a few suggestions of how to wear them.

KLITSCH by ALDO $110

This is a great color for both season. It can be a substitue for the summer favorite cognac tone. This shoe can be wore with jeans or dressed up with a jersey dress for the Fall.

MCSPIRIT by ALDO $100

The lovely cognac with the comfortable heel is the perfect shoe for the Fall and especially the Summer. This shoe can be easily worn with a summer dress and with any Fall fashion such as trousers and leggings.

CREGER from ALDO $90

Instead of the strappy formal sandal this is the perfect replacement in taupe. This would look great with any simple formal dress or you can add some funk to it and wear some stockings.

CARRLY from Steve Madden $69.97

This bulky platform is just right especially for any weather. I love this shoe the best because of the color and the studded details around the front of the heel.




All stores are now ready for Fall 2010, and have delivered plenty of shoes and array of styles and prices. Similar shoes can be found also in Bakers Shoes, Nine West, and VictoriasSecret.com. Happy shopping!

ToP THIS: Tips for Wearing Heels WITHOUT The Pain

Something about wearing heels can make an outfit go from nice to wow! Unfortunately some people are turned off by wearing heels because they hurt!! In this ToP THiS, I'm going to share some tips that will help ease/elminiate the pain.

Buy the right fit not size:
Too often we get caught up on the numerical size versus how the shoe feels. For example if you know that you wear an 8, it doesn't mean that all of your shoes should be an 8. Different designers cut their shoes differently according to the styles. If your shoes hurt before you leave the store, just imagine how they're going to feel when you have to walk around in them.

Posture Perfect:
Your posture is extremely important when you're wearing heels. Think about it, when you stand up straight your weight shifts. You'll relieve weight from being on the sensitive balls of your feel and eliminate pain. Practice makes perfect but remember to stand on your heels and keep that posture on point!

Injecting fat pads or collagen:
Ditch the insoles and get permanent ones. Yes, you can get fat and collagen injections! After this procedure, you'll have cushion-ey feet, for any shoe.

Put your shoes on last:
When you're getting ready wear your comfy slippers. There's no need to put your heels on until your next step is out the door. Keep your shoes by the door (which some people do already) and you'll allow your feel to rest before the big night.

insoles:
They actually make insoles for heels and they're dirt cheap! Plus you can't put a price on being able to wear your shoes, pain free, all night long. Invest in some, but I would suggest that you have the insoles with you as you buy new shoes so you can get the perfect fit with the insole in the shoe.

break them in:
Breaking in a shoe doesn't mean wearing them while you watch television. No, wear them while you clean the house, do the dishes (don't get them wet) walk around. Also walking around the house will give you the practice you might need when you're out on the town.

Get used to it:
Don't wear heels once, every other weekend. You're shocking your poor feet. Wear heels more often (2-3times) a week. Your feet will get used to the shift in weight and soon walking in heels will become second nature. I must warn you though, wearing heels is bad for your knees and back, so wearing heels (and walking a lot) isn't the best idea.

Be good to your feet:
Even if you're used to wearing heels, the truth is that heels can and will do damage to your feet. Take time to soak your feet in Epsom salt, thoroughly moisturize your feet and massage them often. Home foot spas are affordable so if you want to invest in one, that might be a good idea.

If you take care of your feet, your feet will take care of you.
Deuces,

Walking Retro

Finding the right pair of shoes can be one of the hardest things a woman has to do. We have to worry about the style, color, price, and not to mention that open/peep-toe (which means pedicure) and duhn-duhn-duhhhhh...that heel! But high heels aren't the only way you can look cute and have guys think you look sexy; why not go retro and try something with a low or no, heel? This is where Mod Cloth, one of my favorite "Retro Indie" clothing sites comes in handy. They have a bunch of stuff that is cool, retro and vintage. I love how high heels look and elongate, but if you can't walk in them, then it defeats the purpose. So here are some not too high heels that you may like that are affordable and will be sure to add some pzazz to your wardrobe. Happy shopping!

Fashion Is Art Wedge $163.99 - Though some refuse to believe it, we know it's true - fashion is a form of art. These wild wedges from Jeffrey Campbell are here to prove it! Slashed with a bold, black and white pattern evocative of popular 80's graffiti art, and bottomed by a wedge of imbricated silver discs whose shiny surface reflects the world around them, these impact-making leather peep toes are ready to turn your world into an aesthetic wonderland. Close their zipper around your inner ankle, and pair them with form-hugging leggings, a geometric print dress, and angular sunglasses for a look that's a pure masterpiece! And they go up to size 11 for the ladies that need it ;)

Easy Being Green $39.99 - Put some spring in your step with these fresh, vegan-friendly, fashionably heeled sandals! Featuring a flirty peep toe and sassy ankle buckle, these captivating, lime-colored shoes add instant moxie to all your spring ensembles. We suggest pairing them with high-waisted shorts and a short sleeve blouse for an outstanding outfit!

Glamorous Geology $69.99 - These heels look as though they were mined, cut, and buffed just for your feet! Precious turquoise-hued material arches sharply on either side of this shoe's vamp, while super shiny acanthite-colored material, with a cracked design resembling a mosaic, twists and bends from the heel cap to the toe. Lead grey laces fasten up the shoe, ensuring you'll be able to step securely in the wood-like stacked heel. Wear these with a silvery dress, rhinestone jewelry, and a rockin' headband for a look of elemental glamour.

Cuneiform Boot $127.99 - Lace up these striking booties by Industry, and take a walk through a lost civilization. The leather upper features faux snakeskin panels printed with onyx geometric shapes set against a sand backdrop, and might even inspire you to take up ancient Sumerian writing. A tiered ankle strap cascades toward the exposed heel, while thick laces lead down to the open toe. Wear these bold shoes with a black mini dress and sheer stockings, or khaki capris and an oversized tee. Read the archaic writing on the wall - these booties will never go out of 'stylus!'

What do you think about the these shoes?

You Light Up the Room

Walking down the streets of Manhattan, you see some pretty interesting things...especially when it comes to fashion! Nice sunglasses, purses to die for and some pretty unique dresses - but one thing that you would NEVER think to see is heels that light up! Shocked?! Maybe at first but not after you find out that these sexy skyscraper shoes come from Jimmy Choo!

These 5.1'' heels, appropriately named Zap are coming soon in Jimmy Choo's Spring/Summer 2010 collection. They're complete with battery compartment and on/off switch so if for some reason you don't wanna be something like a walking Times Square, you can end the light show.

You tell me (in a comment)!

Walk it Out!

Ladies, we all like to look sexy! You know, have that gorgeous outfit, good makeup, and great hair. But what about shoes?! This is my issue because I am a shoe FIEND but I have a deep, dark secret...

I cant walk in stilettos! What a tragedy. A fashion major who can't walk in heels, SMH! So, I'm on this quest to figure out how to WORK IT like Naomi and Tyra! I've been online all day looking at videos that people uploaded with tips and such trying to explain how to walk. So for all you diva's that need a little help like me, here's the tips that I found:

1. Stand up straight! Slouching only brings you closer to the ground and that's no good.

2. Heel - Toe...WRONG. Think of putting your weight on your arch. This way your balance is on your whole foot and not one part.

3. Stick out that booty! It'll balance out your posture and help your body to be lifted.

4. Scratch the bottom of your shoes. It'll make the shoes less slippery and help you walk harder and it'll make the walk look a lot better

5. Last but not least... Put some CONFIDENCE in it! Nothing looks better than a confident woman!

Work it, Ladies!
