Her argyle cardigan was unexpected yet very refreshing.  Granted, I think she could’ve given us a little more sass, but the look is still chic!Â
Here’s what to get so you can stunt on your co-workers:

Rip the Runway: Alexander McQueen vs Asos

This week going heel to heel are Asos and Alexander McQueen.

Asos-vs-Alexander

The differences between the two simply end at the sole color and the texture, with McQueen’s being silk and Asos’ being leather.  A tremendous effort on Asos’ part in terms of construction; not to mention the cost ($110).  But I must confess that the silk texture and the pink sole of McQueen’s stiletto win me over, despite the price tag of $408.

Which one’s your fave?

Trend Report: Buckle-up Boots

It’s time to step away from the YSL Tribute Too pumps and place your feet into something new this fall: buckle-up boots (I just coined the term…patent pending).

They give off an air of confidence and toughness, but still manage to find the balance between being feminine and chic. And below are quite a few options, even some with color, for those of you who love standing out from the crowd:

In a wardrobe query Demetria says, “Can you pleasseeeeeee help me find this purse? I know it’s expensive so can you help me find a cheaper version?”

“Pleaseee and thank you!”

Hey Demetria! It seems you fell in love with Tory Burch’s $595 Studded Satchel. Great choice! Know that if you want a cheaper version of a bag, sometimes you have to sacrifice quality and design. I found these studded bags for you under $100. They have all the hardware you could wish for while offering a similar essence:

D’Auria says, “I am looking for a sheer lace blazer or even perhaps a lace short sleeve top to wear on my birthday.  I thought I had the perfect one by Free People, however, they didn’t have my size… so now I am scrambling to find something similar.  Can you help me find one?”
Sure! Try these:

Lastly, Adrienne says, “I really want to get some flat oxfords like this option from Aldo:”

“…The problem is I’m not sure how to wear them. I’m in business school, so I need a business-y way to wear them to class. Plus I wear a size 11, do you think they will look like clown shoes/mens shoes on me, LOL. Thanks for any suggestions.”
Hey! Flat oxfords are very chic here in Paris, and I totally cosign this trend! Besides, tons of celebs have been seen rocking the style with more casual outfits:

If you have big feet, I’d say to stay away from bright colors or materials like patent leather that could make your feet look bigger. The safest way to rock ’em would be with an above the knee skirt or a pair of stovepipe straight legged pants. Go for regular leather in black or dark blue:

That does it for today.
Have amazing weekends! Until Monday….
Smootches!
