Fall Must Haves… THE OXFORD!
So as everyone on our blog knows I am an avid shoe lover and collector,and sources say the Fall must have shoe is the Oxford! Ill show you my favorite pick's and even how to rock the oxford fashionably correct!
While these Louboutin's will run a little on the pricey side, they sure are beautiful to dream about!
I know some of you aren't adventurous enough to try the studded pair so here are some other pick's I have on the budget friendly side.
This pair would be great with skinny jeans or a great little vintage dress and simple leather jacket!
For us Fashionistas leopard print is a great way to combine the fall must have shoe with the fall must have print!
If you are heading to have a fun night on the town try the outfit on the right and if you are running fashionable errands in the chilly afternoons try the outfit on the left! In either case you will ace you oxford exam!
14 is the new 22…
Can you believe this is 14 year old Kendall Jenner? She's part of the Kardashian Clan if you don't know the name.
Anyways, how are kids looking so much older? I'm turning 23 in October and I still get that I look 18... Don't get me wrong her photos are gorgeous and I want every one of her outfits, but she's 14! I feel like I need to step it up! I know models start at a young age, but it startles me how kids are looking and acting so much older. I blame Miley Cyrus and Jaime Lynn Spears! Haha. Kendall is now the new face of Forever 21 and appearing in many print ads. The latest scandal was Kendall doing a sexy bikini shoot. She's too young! And yes I'm jealous ;)
P.S. Don't forget our Giveaway. Enter here to win a set of letterpressed stationary. Winner to picked on August 30th!

Summer 2010 Shoe Trends…
Summer is approaching fast, and that means one thing hot weather to match the hot summer shoes! Keep your feet stylish with these hot trends...
Miley Can’t be Tamed?!!!
Ok I will be the first to admit I am NNNOOOOO Miley Cyrus fan but let me say props need to be given to this Disney drama queen. Her new video Can't Be Tamed is probably her best video to date! 
The production dance scenes and costimes are to die for!!! Very Britney Spears before she went crazy, lets just hope "can't be tamed" is not a premonition into this young party girls future!
Nevertheless I am stunned with the costumes especially the $25,000 corset she wears in the main scene designed by the blonds. She is also working with, get this 10 year old designer Cecilia Cassini!
Congrats on the amazing video Ms. Cyrus! Definitely love and appreciate a great video concept and stunning fashion!

Steve Madden Florale $90 & Steve Madden Daynty $109.95

I recently came across Temperley London, a high-end stylish boutique, while working in Melrose Place for an event and loved every piece of clothing I saw. The store is sophistication meets glamour chic. My favorite! One wee problem, items in the store typically range $500-$2,000+! Not in my budget anytime soon...
I decided to put my own spin on a dress I saw and loved. This coral, silk dress at Temperley (Left) is perfect for Spring and so effortless, yet $1,495! I turned to affordable Lulu's, an online shopping site, and found 2 dresses that would do just the job. Try Lulu's Miss Georgia Peach Dress in the middle for $57 or Flashbulb Frenzy Dress in Blood Orange for $30. Both a steal and will get you spring ready at steal worthy prices!
Who Do We Love? JEN AWAD!
I am back with the fashion scoop! I have finally recovered from the insanity of L.A. "Fashion Week" and I am here to let you in on all the fabulous designers I have discovered. And, First up is my favorite Jen Awad!
I was lucky enough to interview the designer after the show and she let me in on her collection, her future and her band!
This former FIDM Alumni floored me! Her collection actually left me with chills as it hit the runway!
The 1940's inspired collection is perfect for fall. The details of cascading pearls, metallic golds, and sultry color choices separates this young designer from her peers. As a stylist and a blogger I guarantee this designer will be a house hold name and definitely a new competitor for designers like Betsy Johnson, Donna Karen and Marc Jacobs!
As the interview continued back stage I fell more and more in love with this rebellious Rock-n-Roll designer! I love the fact that she is not afraid to combine pearls with leather. This fall 2010 collection screams classic sexiness with a rebellious twist!
Overall, Jen Awad was the best designer, and had the best collection of LA fashion week, Hands Down! This little fashionista loves loves loves this collection. Definitely a gold star from me! I am on pins and needles to see what this creative designer has up her sleeve next!
check out her website www.jenawad.com!
Hello Spring!
Why hello Spring collections! I love this time of year when floral prints, ethereal dresses, tunics, and skirts are back in action. Spring will officially arrive March 20th and so will the fun and flirty collections, from home decor, clothing, dining ware, to outside entertainment.
Of course, I'm most excited about the Fashion and about to share a great find! H & M has just announced their Garden Collection that will make its debut March 18th. A perfect mixture of chic, sexy and affordable. Here is a sneak preview of their Garden Collection, complete with the over-sized butterfly ring. How perfect are the looks below?! From casual daytime, sophisticated work to a hot night on the town. I want them all!
1. White Tunic, $14.95 //2. Watercolor Dress, $19.95 //3. Red Rose Dress, $39.95
Going Dutch…
When I hear clog, I automatically think frumpy old lady or those icky crocs... However, today I saw a lady wearing a pair of clogs and couldn't help but notice how amazing they looked on her. Who knew a pair of clogs would make me look twice (in a good way)? It also helped that she was very stylish and carried herself well (bonus points to any outfit!). The clogs were paired with black, skinny jeans and a simple blouse. A la chic and comfortable! And you know clogs must be comfortable even with a heel. A look I must try!
Cheers to the modern clog! Here a few of my favorites I found:
1. Steve Madden, "Daynty", $90 // 2. Anthropologie, "Shooting Arrow", $350 //
3. Yellow Box, "Daring", $44 // 4. Blowfish, "Hedonic Wedge", $45
// 5. Cynthia Vincent, "Tamara", $350
