Know what I love about this fall season? Boots. I am obsessed with boots and love the look of them paired with some skinny jeans and a big, chunky sweater. Ah, love. So, what I've seen out on the streets (aka street style) is a fashionable boot sock that peeks out at the top of the boot. Nicely ornamented and slouchy, this look is so cute with boots. Loving this fab find from etsy! And then I wondered if I could tackle making some myself. Although mine turned out a little less glam ... View the Post
Such a Stud!
Trend alert: Studs are everywhere. Yes, these handsome studs (fashion accessories, that is) are appearing in lots of gorgeous fashions. At my last trip to Kohls I was loving the studs in the brands Rock & Republic and LC Lauren Conrad. First lets admire the Rock & Republic studded fashion looks: And excuse me... but how much are you LOVING these pretty-pretty-pretty Rock & Republic shoes. I die. What also caught my eye was this pearl studded top from LC Lauren Conrad. I think ... View the Post
Cue the Collar
Love it when I can find something simple and easy and chic... Its a fool-proof fashion find. Cue the collar.

The collar can go ... View the Post

Bring on the Buttons
Buttons. Not the "Like" button or Tweet button... but I'm talking real buttons. The buttons you find on your shirt or jacket. I feel that we're not giving enough love or attention to our buttons. Are you with me? At least a bit curious? Who else can-not-throw-away any extra buttons that come with an outfit? Well, that would be me. Exhibit A: Now ask me if I have ever used ANY of these buttons. Answer? Nope. I wish I have, but I haven't. Yet I can't bring myself to discard of any of ... View the Post
