Fur Boots – Fall & Winter Boot Trends

admin — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 23:40:46 +0000

If you’re like me, then nothing can get you more excited for the start of winter than the thought of being all wrapped up in some delightfully luxurious fabric. Something to keep you warm but also fashionable. Sure you can purchase a new wool coat or some amazing cashmere scarf and gloves, but none of those options are as indulgent as the latest trend in footwear come this winter. Boots trouncing down the runway were exploding with primitive details including goat hair, shearling trim, rabbit fur and pony hair. From Mukluks to fur lined peep-toe boots, the hottest trend in footwear has arrived and it’s time we lay out our welcome mats. Read through all of the different styles of fur boots outlined below to capture the essence of this ski bunny spirit.

A Tale of Two Cities: It’s city chic meets country innocence, mix up your wardrobe style by purposely contradicting your style – wear your high heeled shearling lined clogs with a fair isle oversized sweater.
Classy City Cool: Need to stay warm in the city, but don’t want to loose your usual refined and classic style? Pair your fur lined ankle boots with a pair of black leggings and military jacket. You’ll mix trends, maintain your sophisticated style and keep warm.
Winter Cabin Warmth: Nothing says cozy quite like bundling up in fur. Grab your mukluks and goose down puffer jacket. While everyone else is zipping down the ski slopes, you’ll be stylishly sipping hot chocolate in the warm ski lounge.
Mix and Match – Create the ultimate juxtaposition by pairing your high heeled, peep-toe boots with goat hair fringe with just about any fabric that can enhance the contrasting styles. Wool, tweed, leather and lace all work really well when mixed with your favorite fur boots.

Fall Winter Boot Trends- The Combat Boot

admin — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 23:30:44 +0000

When it comes to trends this fall, nothing can quite match the power and influence of the combat boot. It’s a masculinity meets femininity pairing and we’re happy with the results. Footwear barreling down the runway this season was all about that testosterone fueled touch to women’s boots. Laced up workman’s boots, androgynous combat boots and edgy motorcycle boots are stomping their way into our closets. These manly style flat boots are a great way to spice up your look. While this trend may seem too intensely masculine to try, have no fear, there are plenty of ways in which even the most posh fashionistas can perfect this look.

Juxtaposition – Pair your boots with a flirty dress and tights. Although it’s a direct nod to the former days of 90’s styling, it’s a great way to mix and match your style and wardrobe and not feel too overtly masculine.
Spice up the color – Most of the combat, motorcycle and workman’s boots come in darker tones, like black, gray and brown. So add a splash of color to it by opting for pastels or bright, bold colors like pink, red, purple, etc to inject a feminine touch.
Play the Role – If you’re willing to try to look, why not go all in? Wear your boots with a rocker chic look a la Kate Moss style. Rock the blazer and fitted graphic tee look over a pair of skinny jeans. Keep the color scheme dark to really let your inner rock goddess shine through

We have put together an amazing collection of designer boots that we think you’ll love.

Fall Boot Trends – The Over-The-Knee Boot

admin — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 23:07:29 +0000

Some of the coolest trends are so short-lived that we blink and in a flash, it’s gone; then, we’re left pining after the next “it” style to trial. So, it’s quite refreshing when trends overlap collection seasons lasting longer than their normal 15 minutes of fame. For those of us who love to be on-trend, but just don’t have the time to keep up with the Joneses on an everyday basis, stick with some of the basic wardrobe essentials. And this season the over-the-knee boot is the boot trend to try. The designs this fall are all about variations to the over-the-knee style. Wedge, sky high heel, flats, riding boots, each option is just as versatile as the next. The key to keeping this style chic and not overtly sexy is to know how to wear your boots. The flat OTK is great for daytime looks (i.e. running errands), pair it with a great pair of denim, an oversized cable knit cardigan and fitted tee. If you need to get slightly dressed up, but still want to keep that casual and cool theme, opt for the wedge OTK boot. Wear it with a fitted blazer, print tee and printed scarf. The height on the wedge and the rocker chic look gives you that edgier style, without looking like you’re trying to hard. To get that bohemian chic look, grab your over-the-knee riding boots and mix it with a fur vest, gypsy tunic and leggings. And if you really want to dress up your boots, the sky high OTK stiletto looks best with a pair of skinny jeans or short dress. Word of caution, because these high heel boots are so over-the-top sexy, make sure that your attire doesn’t match that same sentiment. Keep it simple and make sure that you don’t show too much skin. The over-the-knee boot is your statement piece, so let them really shine!

Nothing goes better with a pair of over-the-knee boots than a great pair of leggings.

Legging & Jegging Shopping Guide

admin — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 00:07:30 +0000

While it may seem like a made up trend, jeggings are one of the hottest items this season. The only problem most of us fashionistas run into is knowing whether or not these work for you and how to go about shopping around for the perfect pair. The solution is simple and accessible to any woman’s wardrobe. Fit, color and length. Like following the 4 C’s (cut, clarity, color and carat) when finding the perfect diamond for a soon to be fiancé, we need to adhere to the same cautionary research and selection process. Find the perfect fit, the perfect color and perfect length. Once you have mastered the “Rule of 3”, you can style your jeggings in a variety of ways. Browse through the following three ways to finding your perfect pair of jeggings.

Fitting In: When you are looking for that ultimate comfortable fit remember to thoroughly analyze the fabric and ask yourself these questions:

How much will it stretch?
How is the quality, will it stand up to everyday wear?
Can I wash these in the washer or will they need to be dry cleaned?

Getting the right answers for those questions will help to ensure the fit is just right for you from the moment you purchase them to your last day of wear.

Color Me Glad: Jeggings these days come in a wide variety of colors and selecting the perfect one can be a little intimidating. To make your shopping excursion easier, follow these simple tricks for picking out the best color choice to mix with your wardrobe:

Opt for lighter shades for more casual looks.
Choose darker colors for dressier styles.
Check if the color will fade over time or will bleed after washing.

Go to Great Lengths: Once you have figured out the fit and color, next stop is choosing the right length for your body and style. If you love to wear flats, then go for shorter or ankle length jeggings. However, if you’re a high heel kinda gal, opt for longer lengths; it’ll elongate your legs and keep you on-trend.

Style Trends for the Everyday Woman

admin — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 22:51:51 +0000

In this economic climate, we monitor our spending, hoping that although we can’t splurge on every fashionable trend that swings our way, we can still stay on-trend and be fashionably conscious. Luckily for us, the Spring/Summer 2011 collections reflected the customer’s need to keep within a reasonable budget, but carefully coddled our desire to indulge in wardrobe essentials. Designers were mindful of not only our tightly pulled purse strings, but also our hectic schedules, on-the-go mentality and demanding careers. Fusing both fashion and functionality is a rare feat in the design world, but during New York Fashion Week, the unlikely pair created a match made in fashion heaven. Strutting down the runway were endless options for our everyday look and wear. What was once overpriced and unattainable is now affordable and accessible. A delicate balance of luxury and practicality, the trends coming out of NYFW are exactly what the everyday woman needs.

The Working Woman

Jill Sander, Tory Burch, Rachel Roy, Nanette Lepore and Erin Featherstone know a thing or two about womenswear. Once again they wowed the crowds with fitted blazers, suit shorts, bespoke dresses, lightweight cardigans and feminine blouses that not only serve as separate, functional wardrobes items, but keep you on trend as well. A ladylike nod to former days of 50’s and 60’s style of suiting received a myriad of modern updates full of prints, ruffles, florals, patterns and of course, impeccable tailoring. Say goodbye to the days of boring office attire and say hello to a bright future where professional wear is sexy , sophisticated and, most importantly, easy to assemble. Whether you are layering each piece or keeping simple with just a beautifully fitted dress, you can take comfort in knowing next season’s collection are for the working woman on-the-go.

The Girls Night Out

Let’s face it ladies, too much stress in our work week can make us go crazy. So when Friday rolls around, we need to let loose. Our dear designer friend, Marc Jacobs, knows that our inner playful self is in desperate need of some time in the spotlight. His Spring/Summer 2011 collection is the perfect vehicle for heading to the famed Studio 54. Okay, so that might not be attainable, but a girl can dream, right? The collection featured a flowing array of 70’s glam, luxuriously fabulous dresses and party wear that will have all us swooning with delight. To recreate this look, seek out gypsy blouses, below-the-knee length skirts, wide-legged trousers and drape-y maxi dresses with extravagant prints, bright colors and luxury fabrics like silk and chiffon. Don’t forget the flower corsages and oversized sunglasses and hats. Mimic the styling of Bianca Jagger and DVF back in the day and you’ll be the subject of envy.

The Budget Fashionista

Keeping up with the Joneses is tough work! While we would all love to have an endless supply of clothing like some of our favorite style icons, sometime it’s just not feasible. Our fantasy fades, and we’re left feeling depressed about our wardrobe. However this Fashion Week, designers made every attempt to keep us effortlessly chic and fabulous. Their collections carefully harmonized both our financial constraints and woes with our passion and curiosity for fashion. The best way for us to stay stylish and not break the bank is to go with what we know is timeless. Fortunately for us, neutral colors, classic wardrobe pieces and strategic layering ruled the runway during Fashion Week. It’s a femininity meets functionality approach, but one that works for our pockets. Find your inner budget fashionista by searching for items such as a khaki blazer (see Tory Burch), a white shift dress (see Calvin Klein), a classic button down (see Donna Karan) and dress pants (see Michael Kors). All of those work well together, but separately can be worn as statement pieces. Chic minimalism with a budget friendly creativity; a fashionista’s dream come true!

New York Fashion Week: The Spring/Summer 2011 Mega Trends

admin — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 22:45:27 +0000

Fashion Week is upon us again. A week in which fashionistas around the world will happily wait in line to see what their future holds. The sheer anticipation of what’s to come can keep you awake and giddy with excitement. It’s like waking up on Christmas morning knowing your gorgeously decorated tree is filled with presents. And for us wishful fashionistas, there’s nothing quite like that anxious feeling, hoping for something wonderful and getting exactly what you wish for. This year’s Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Week did not disappoint. A sort of ying and yang approach, designers decidedly juxtaposed trends of the past, weaving in modern updates and adding a playful attitude to their collections. The looks set for Spring/Summer 2011 are extremely promising. Here’s a look at just a few of the trends you’ll be sporting come Spring:

A Blank Canvas vs. The Color Brigade: Murmurs of white replacing black saturated the gossipy air this last week. Collections featured white and even neutral, pale and blush tones through a variety of vehicles – accessories, pants, suiting, dresses, shirts, skirts, shorts, etc. The blank canvas became the impetus for designers to showcase their refined styling and artistry without having to compete with bold colors. However, white wasn’t the only shade to rule the runway. Candy colored hues like fuschia, neon orange, sunshine yellow, coral and Kelly green drenched the catwalk. The rainbow of colors was not only optimistically refreshing, but also reminiscent of an Impressionist romance.

Short & Chic vs. Long & Luxurious: Although it is no surprise shorts are still a wardrobe staple for Spring and Summer, this time around designers had their fun playing with volume, length and style. From Thakoon’s fuller, longer style to Badgley Mischka’s short, sweet and chic looks, shorts are undoubtedly here to stay. However, if you’ve had your fill or are looking to audition a new look, take a cue from Marc Jacobs, Rachel Roy, Rebecca Taylor and Derek Lam. The “it” skirt barreling down the runways was longer, sexier and full of femininity. The below-the-knee skirt made quite the splash debuting in silk, chiffons, jersey and tulle featuring brilliant prints, vertical stripes and delicate details such as rosettes and ruffles. Pair yours with a fitted ballerina shirt or silk, printed blouse. And nothing says chic quite like adding a skinny belt to complete the look.

A Prairie Home Companion vs. Studio 54 Glam: One of the most talked about shows was Ralph Lauren’s prairie style collection. An over-the-top display of frilly lace, denim jackets, leather fringe and western style details like larger than life belt buckles and turquoise jewelry, the show glamorized the frontier life using a Victorian era influence. On the opposite side of the tracks, if there was one party to attend, it certainly was the catwalks celebrating a Halston era style of the glam life. Diane Von Furstenberg, Badgley Mischka, Halston (of course!) and most notably Marc Jacobs all recreated the glossy lifestyle of the 70’s Studio 54 days featuring silk suiting, flouncy blouses, knee-length skirts, wildly funky patterns, flamboyant colors, high-waisted trousers and flowy maxi-dresses. This is one party you’ll be desperately vying for an invitation to.

Boot Trends Fall 2010

admin — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 22:23:02 +0000

Nothing excites me more for the upcoming Fall/Winter season than a great pair of boots. Thankfully for us footwear obsessed fashionistas, designers this season are pulling out all the stops. From military inspired to sexy lace-ups, ankle booties to over-the-knee, the perfect transition from the dog days of summer into the blistery cold months of winter is to sink your toes into this season’s must haves.

Fall Boot Trend One

A Heroine in Footwear: The ankle bootie. It’s part shoe, part boot and part well, frankly, superpower. It can dress up or dress down any outfit and can be worn with a sexy dress, skinny jeans, a mini skirt or simply under leggings. Versatile, sexy and sophisticated, the hybrid shoe boot this season is definitely your new superhero. Cape not included.

Fall Boot Trend Two

The Bee’s Knees: It’s no wonder why the return of the over-the-knee boot is welcomed back with open arms. Last season, it was a trend that could transform the ordinary go-to outfit into extraordinary by simply slipping on these outrageously sexy and chic boots. This time around, designers were careful not to repeat the exact same styling of last Fall season, so they updated the new “it” boots by playing with height, texture and details. Whatever style of the OTK boot you choose this season, just make sure to include these in your repertoire and you’ll be more than happy with the results.

Fall Boot Trend Three

Luck be a Lady: Designers have a sweet spot for us fashionistas; and nothing says it more than the intricate attention to detail they assumed when designing the A/W collections. This season’s boot has turned into the ultimate ladylike accessory. Details like lace, velvet, rosettes, ribbons, bows, floral printing and sexy cutouts pay tribute to decades of feminine styling by capturing the essence of female sex appeal and ladylike grace. Looks like the odds are in our favor.

Fall Boot Trend Four

A Masculine Overhaul: The lines have been blurred, the laces have been tied and heels have been stripped. Designs that used to be strictly for men have sunk its teeth into women’s boots come Fall. The lace up workman’s boot and motorcycle boot reigned supreme on the runway. If you’re daring enough to try a slightly more androgynous look, these flat boots will certainly keep you stylish and chic. Don’t like the overtly masculine look? Opt for a more feminine touch with a sky high stiletto.

Fall Boot Trend Five

All Laced-up and Nowhere to go?: In the old days, a lace-up boot was tucked safely under a billowing layered skirt, never to be seen. It’s hard to believe anyone would want to hide a sexy silhouette, beloved Victorian, vintage vibe accompanied with a ladylike heel. So, designers this season decided to revive a once forgotten favorite and made it one of the hottest trends for Fall. Gone are the days of concealing footwear, flaunt those lace boots all over town and you’ll quickly be the envy of every fashionista out there.

Fall Boot Trend Six

Bring out your Inner Animal: The concentration this season seems to be defining the details in boots that curb your animal cravings: fur-lined boots, pony hair detail, shearling trim, rabbit fur and goat hair fringe all inject a certain sexy bohemian style while keeping you warm during the blistery winter months. It’s officially time to unleash your inner animal instinct.
