fall wish list - booties

fall booties 2013

I predict that ankle booties will be the shit this fall season. From flat to mid to high heel, they look good on almost anyone. The trick in getting a pair is to not let it cut you off at the foot and make you look stumpy if you are vertically challenged. What you pair them with also makes a big difference. Skinny jeans, a dress or skirt, leggings, or shorts are all perfect accompaniments to ankle booties but finding the right style boot is essential to creating the look you are going for. I find that they look best when worn with skinny jeans tapered at the ankle so you don't get that bunched up look. Jeans cuffed at the ankle are another cute alternative but if you are vertically challenged like myself, you have to be careful that too much cuffing doesn't shorten your already short legs. In short (haha), I personally like the cuffed hems, as it adds a bit of edge to the look. And I do love me some edge boyeee. Fashion trick: wear black slim or skinny jeans with black ankle boots so there is no line of distinction. Easy peasy.

O' happy day loves! I hope there is lots of sunshine wherever you find yourself today. I wore this little ensemble two weekends ago while out at the Farm with my little family. I was hoping for a cool enough day to wear this cute striped top and it looks like I got my wish. Now you all know I love a bargain. Not only was the tee already marked off, but J.Crew was running a sale promotion that weekend plus with my rewards card all I had to pay for was shipping. I love good deals!

Happy Hump Day!

Crop Tops: you either love 'em or hate 'em. I am with the former. This particular crop top I picked up at the AA outlet and I love it so much I want it in a few other colors. Luckily, AA has no shortage of tube, tees and crop tops

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love street art, and New York City is full of them. They are constantly changing so multiple visits is necessary. This time around, we ran into one of Nick Walker's stencil graffiti pieces in the Lower East Side and I was more than happy to pose. This particular art piece forms my sentiments exactly: I LOVE NEW YORK. I TRULY DO. I'm elated that I live in a place where the city streets constantly inspire me. Empire State of Mind says it best. 

Hope you are all having an inspiring day!

TGIF! I wore this outfit out the other night to party with my girlfriends. I'm one of those girls that has to dance in heels. It's how I've always been and I'm sure always will be. 

I always jump at the chance to take photographs with an unexpected background, such as this one. One that's not overly perfect because let's be honest not every photoshoot is. I don't know about you, but I much rather look at a blog where the photos are not ideal and the background is less than perfect and different. I find it's more "real." But that's enough gabbing from me. I'm off to enjoy the weekend! 

See you back here on Monday. Enjoy!

Happy Tuesday loves! Hope you are all having a great day, so far. Can we just stop for a moment and have a moment of silence for these faux leather shorts? *cue elevator music* If I told you I loved them, it'd be an understatement. They are perfect in every way but then again isn't everything Zara makes?! I am a self-dubbed Zara whore, seriously. If I wore everything I owned from Zara on the blog it would take the element of surprise out of every outfit post. I checked and they don't have these shorts on their website anymore, but these are similar. Now let's talk about these sandals. I've had these sandals for well over a year and I just realized this is the first time I've worn them on the blog. I'm a bad girl! When they first came out, I think every blogger in Blog Land scooped them up. That's what usually happens when you mix shoe-a-holics and a gorgeous shoe at a great price point. Naturally, I gravitate towards colors like red, black, animal print, and brown but these stood out to me moreso than the other color choices because of the great color combo. So these sexy green and blue sandals were a perfect pop of color to add to my collection. I'm getting sassy in my old age.
