Urban Fall Preview

Urban Outfitter's has unveiled their shoe Fall preview and I immediately picked my favorite.

The Lita boot from Jeffrey Campbell. Love the woven textured of the upper wrapped platform. And the wood heel makes a great contrast.  Check out the Fall Shoe Preview at http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/ and pick your favorite.

Call of the Wild

Leopard has become as classic as the LBD and Kelly bag, though it has held on to its hipster appeal.  This season leopard found its way onto the perfect accessories.  Maybe, too many for one season to handle. Luckily, leopard print transitions effortlessly into Fall. 

Play It Again Sam.

Some things never get old. You get just as excited by them as the first time you saw them. That's how I feel about Sam Edelman's Zoe wedge.  These boots have been out on the market for two years now in different incarnations and I'm loving this khaki and black combo below. A boot that doesn't look out of place in summer. Well, at least not to me as I love chunky wedges.

Steal of the Day

I absolutely love the avant garde stylings of Ann Demeulmeester.  However, her offerings are rarely in my price range.  So I was delighted to find a Deena & Ozzy sandal that was similar to one of my favorite Demeulmeester pair at a fraction of the cost.

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.
