It may still feel like summer, but fall is definitely in the air and fall fashion is in stores! Fall fashion trends this year start with animal prints. Particularly leopard! Accessories are an easy way to infuse the animal print trend into your fall wardrobe. Whether it’s a hot shoe, a cool handbag or a belt, a little animal ’magnetism’ goes a long way.

This very cool shoe/boot called “Why Stop Shoe In Brown” has got a lot of drama going on! The studded wood 5 inch platform heel is a definite scene stealer. We liked it because it’s unusual and packs a lot of style into a small price. It’s a good buy at $164.00 from Karmaloop’s Jeffrey Campbell shoe designer collection. His other interesting ‘pop’ booties are worth checking out as well. A fave is the Tick ankle booties in black.
Another absolute LOVE is this legging/sock type shoe called the Connie Boot with sheer mesh uppers. Seriously too cool for school! Wear it with patterned opaque hose in the fall for maximum fashion impact!
I think Jeffrey Campbell just became our fave shoe designer for urban, affordable footwear with that “something special” factor!
You’ve heard of living in the lap of luxury? Well our latest fashion find will give you the calves of luxury! From one of our favourite luxury retailers, LuisaViaRoma, these boots are nothing less than the ultimate in fall/winter footwear chic.
Fur is in! We’ve seen fur on collars, cuffs and vests. So why not as embelishment on boots? At $1600.00 these Casadei 120MM Mink Fur And Suede Boots are not cheap , but needless to say they are going to be a big attention grabber. Besides if you love the look, you can seek out the fur on boots fashions in more affordable versions! Our fashion finds run the gamut from ‘only dream about’ to ‘the steal of the century’. Having both is what keeps it fun!
As we said LuisaViaRoma is a great luxury online store and they also have a gorgeous store in Florence, Italy packed with all these unique luxury goodies. We had a chance to visit them recently and see all the great fashion finds firsthand. Check out our picks here and take a look at the video:
With the weekend approaching, there is no better way to unwind then with a night on the town with your girlfriends! For occasions such as this, I love pairing girlie clothing, with sleeker pieces to create more of an urban feel for the night.
I’m a fan of mixing high and low price point pieces together to create fun looks that will mix and mingle with other pieces in your wardrobe.
Couldn’t resist the coral coloured dress – perfect for summer!
This outfit would be perfect for someone that has an hourglass figure or an A figure (i.e. pear shape) as it focuses on the waist. This is crucial for hourglass and A shapes – always define your waist! The fabric of the dress is beautifully draped, so it will fall nicely along the curves of the body perfectly. Delicious!
What do you think of the ensemble? Would you wear it?

Our recent trip to Italy had us visiting one of Italy’s most fashionable stores called Luisaviaroma. Established by the current owners’ grandmother (Louisa), the Florentine store has stayed on top of fashion trends for the last century and has evolved into a fashion powerhouse with the introduction of ecommerce 10 years ago. A huge bonus is the free shipping worldwide offered by the fashion website.
We liked these artful shoes, as we call them, because they remind us of modern art. These are two completely different looks for different occasions.
The first one, a colorful patchwork bootie from Y-3 would be perfect with a pair of skinny jeans and a sporty jacket, throw on your Lovequotes scarf and aviator glasses for cool urban daytime look. The second ,high heel stilettos from Nicholas Kirkwood, are definitely for day to nighttime affair. Wear in the fall with the new sock and peep toe look for maximum exposure. Going to an art gallery opening? Watch out cause your shoes just might steal the show!
