The Sale Days of Summer

July signifies the arrival of Fall merchandise in stores and though you may not be ready to think of putting on a sweater, it also means "SALE" on all those great summer trends you still have two months (or more if you live in warmer climates) to show off.

Perforated booties are a hot trend this Summer and many choices are still available out there. Take a look at the below:

1. Just Cavalli available at Zappos.com
2. Stuart Weitzman at farfetch.com
3. Jeffrey Campbell at UrbanOutfitters.com
4. My Volatile at Endless.com

Happy shopping!

For Practical Reasons

Fashion isn't suppose to be practical but it is possible. And since I now walk to work, I've been thinking very differently about my wardrobe.  Especially my shoes.  I've spent the weekend shoe shopping and found these treasures from Rag & Bone, not to high to walk in but not sensible (as in boring).

Pefect for casual summer days and will even make the transition to Fall with knee hi's.

Glam in 6.5

Maybe not an everyday shoe ( I do walk to work, afterall) but these glam platform wedges with silver toes are to die for. I absolutely love Guiseppe Zanotti shoes. They never disappoint.

Aside from channeling Ziggy Stardust the 6 1/2" wedge is desirable due to the extra height it gives a vertically challenged girl like myself. These are definitely going on my "Want it Now!" list.

Made in the Shade

Here in Los Angeles, Summer has definitely arrived.  As much as I enjoy being out in the sun as much as the next Angeleno, I don't want the skin damage that comes with it. So I incorporate hats whenever possible.  This lovely Fedora from Sportmax oozes chic with just the proper amount of shade.

Studded Affair

Punk inspired, studded accessories have been trending for quite a few seasons now and aren't slowing down for Fall '11.  I wanted to share my absolute favorite accessory, my leather studded wrap bracelet from Linea Pelle.

I wear it with everything from gothic black to feminine white. I also own the chocolate version.

Orange you glad for Jeffrey Campbell

Corny I know, but I loved this shoe brand for the last 4 years.  The designs are always edgy and a bit quirky.  These may not be a color that I would think myself every purchasing but I love them anyway. It reminds me of autumn pumpkins.

Forget the Queen, God save Vivienne!

I couldn't wait to post this gorgeous patent bag from Vivienne Westwood.  I've never been one for logo prints but this bag rocks not only for its classic silhouette but its eye catching patent and its fun logo print.

I also, have to admit, that the Westwood logo is one of the best around. I'd wear that pendant around my neck anyday.
