Slouchy Boots for Fall
Slouchy is a terrific term for many fall fashions… Slouchy wool cardigan. Slouchy leather hobo. And of course, slouchy boots. Today, let’s take a look at some of the slouchy boots available at net-a-porter.com. Though long and sleek boots are definitely in style this season, slouchy ones can still find their way into your wardrobe.

How to Rock a Cropped Plus Coat
Cropped coats can be so tricky, and I’m going to work through this with you! I have a cropped coat that’s been nothing but challenging in terms of styling, and I have learned a lot about how to make this particular silhouette work. If you’re afraid of having your plus cropped coat look baggy or shapeless, this is what I do to tailor the fit just for me.
1. Pin it! If your cropped plus jacket is too boxy, fold a… More »

The Shoes of Milan & Paris S/S 10
Watching the runways isn’t always about the dresses, the pants, or the tops. Designers work a whole heck of a lot of time on their accessories. The hats, the handbags, the hair, and of course shoes are all of the utmost importance. Just like in the real world, the accessories make the outfit. If a girl hits the runway in horrible shoes and a micro mini we’re going to be talking about those horrible shoes, right?
The past few days the… More »
How To Pull Off A Polo Shirt This Fall
Polo shirt is commonly worn during the Summer. It’s a refreshingly cool shirt to beat the heat wave. It’s a stylish shirt for casual days with shorts, cargos, and jeans. Some would even wear it with maybe white pants just to look cool and crisp to match the summer weather. Polo shirt is also the go-to shirt for golfing for Men who loves to play gold of course. So maybe we can conclude that a polo shirt is a… More »
2 Under $50 Fergie Heels
I have been dying to feature Fergie shoes here but I also wanted something affordable, yah know. I found a couple pairs of Fergie heels from Nordstrom. They’re really sexy and I love that they’re under $50 each.
Fergie ‘Maxim’ Sandal is on sale for $49.90. It features nappa leather straps which forms triangular shape in the vamp for a sexy gladiator look. Sizes available are 7 to 10.
I thinks this Fergie ‘Zully’ Sandal is perfect for spring… More »
Under $60 Michael Kors Strappy Sandals
I’m a little curious with caged heels right now. “Caged” is more or less a sister of the gladiator trend. The latter has a lot of variations with straps and details, so caged could either be the “over the top” version or slightly suffocated one, as I fondly call it, hah.
This pair of MICHAEL Michael Kors ‘Niki’ Strappy Sandals is almost like caged heels but not quite which is why I like it. My feet would be minimally “jailed”… More »
Lady Gaga Doing Her Thing
At this point I think that Lady Gaga should actually dress traditionally and THAT would be more unexpected than seeing her on stage in one of these trainwreck numbers. Ya know what would be super shocking?? To see Lady Gaga in a hoodie, jeans, flip-flops and a ponytail! Just walkin’ down the street sipping on a Starbucks like Jessica Alba…that would make front page news!
But I still gotta mention this horrendous outfit that she wore at her concert in Washington. … More »
Moose Poop Earrings
Here’s something interesting (possibly just to me, but I hope not….), are you looking for something unique in accessories? How about the latest in Coprolite jewelry. Coprolite? Is that a fancy gemstone? Well, not exactly. Coprolite is fossilized poop. Yes, poop.
Jewelry is made from moose and deer poop, but there are many sources of coprolite out there, including dinosaur, fish, turtle, crocodile, and shark coprolite. I’ll have to do some research to see if there is any dinosaur poop jewelry (what… More »
Desir Sandal Bootie by Ash
In the past year, we have seen just about every interpretation imaginable of the bootie. There’s the peep-toe bootie, the buckle bootie, the cut out bootie, and this “sandal” bootie, which is basically a combination of all of the above.
To be truthful, I’m not super psyched about the shape of the heel, but I like the rest of the bootie, so I’ll take it as a matter of course. What I do like is the slightly above the ankle… More »
Rihanna At Marc Jordan’s Wedding!
Marc Jordan, music mogul, was married this weekend in beautiful Venice, Italy. Not only did he and his new wife look totally gorgeous, but there were a host of celebrity guests, including Rihanna. Here she is posing with a catholic monk.
I’m crazy for this picture, not just for the inherent irony, but because I love that Rihanna eschews traditionally conservative wedding garb in favor of honoring her own personal style. I love the Alexander Wang dress and Christian Louboutin’s. Work… More »

And I found some. Of course.
