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:

What a beautiful day in Paris!
Gearing up for a fun fashion week in a few days;) Until then let’s solve some Mail Bombs!
First up Toya says, “I saw this picture of Beyonce in Australia”
“Who makes her dress??”
According to Red Carpet Fashion Awards, Beyonce is wearing a Matthew Williamson cream dress straight from the runway:
Go to www.matthewwilliamson.com for stores.
In a Male Mail Bomb Lamar asks, “I saw Kid Cudi on the Jimmy Kimmel show…”
“Where can I cop his sweater?”
According to Upscale Hype, Cude is rocking this $195 Billionaire Boys Club Zig-Zag crewneck sweater:
Get it at www.bbcicecream.com.
I another Male Mail Bomb Holly says, “Dying to know WHO makes these glasses??? Ive been looking for a pair that look like these FOREVER!”
Get Diggy’s look with these fun readers:
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!
Hey Guys!

Hey Nicole! Love your hairstyle and your tee selection! You have such an easy, effortless style!

If you want her simple look, go with these affordably chic options:
So last night I went to an art gallery opening, and felt it apropos to wear a pair of heels. I had a feeling my dogs would be barking in a matter of hours; imagine my dismay when my size 9.5 flip flops wouldn’t fit into my clutch for the night!
Oversized clutches like this $40 option from Rampage have enough room to fit a pair of sole saving flats:
The grommets and hardware offer a stylish look and the bag’s black color assures endless outfit coordination.

For any Fashion Bomb Male readers, we got you!
Today, we’d like to introduce you to Company of We, a more democratic luxury brand:
Launched in June 2009, the brand seeks to alleviate the Bergdorf Blues—a syndrome they say, “is inflicted from a growing inability to justify the price tags lurking within those synonymous lilac shopping bags.”
The brand is made for guys who wanted to convey higher fashion—through their wardrobes—”without falling into the trend ridden portals of the Soho superstores.”

As we said in this fall trend post, thigh highs are perfect to wear with minis for a sexy allure.
In case you don’t have as many endorsement deals as Rih, get a thigh high for less with these options:
We know you guys out there need to look fly for fall, and it seems cardigans are the item of choice for fashionable men:
Diddy, Jay-Z, Swizz Beatz, and more have been spied rocking button up knits in black, purple, and even accented in pink:
