It's Fall!

Now that fall is here and the air is crsip, the sweaters and boots are coming out. This is the time of the year that I like to carry fashion pieces that really pop in the grayness and chill. Now, I'm going to be upfront and say that I have searched high and low for comfortable, yet sexy, Louboutins. The one of two styles that foots this bill is the Cathay. I stumbled on the white snakeskin and tan versions of the Cathay being sold on a British website - the black patent is the type I've seen in stores here in the US.

The Cathay is on my 'Want List' in the tan color and I hope to get it as soon as I cut down my current credit card balances in the coming weeks. Check out http://www.mytheresa.com/, http://www.asos.com/, http://www.lastcall.com/ for more designer goodies including items from our European neighbours.

I had been waiting anxiously for the 'Mulberry for Target' collection to hit stores on October 10. That same day, I ran to my closest Target store to snatch my own pink leopard patent handbag from the collection. I had seen this bag lauded in several fashion magazines and it looked so good on the glossy pages. It looked like a fun, everyday bag for winter but imagine my dismay to realize that the bag had a cheap, glazed look to it, in person. Even $53 seemed like too much to spend on that quality and the bag is back at Target waiting for it's rightful buyer.

Other accessories that would spice up the fall/winter wardrobe would be colorful tights, animal print scarves/shoes/belts/handbags, candy-colored handbags (a la the 80s) and very importantly - glowing, healthy-looking face,skin and hair.
