Booty Call

I don't know about you, but I love pairing booties with dresses.

These babies from Target are my go to:

Whether I'm baby shower bound:

Dress & Necklace:  Forever 21
Belt:  Anthropolgie
Booties:  Target

Or pumpkin picking with the fam:

Sunnies:  GAP
Dress:  Lands End Canvas
Booties:  Target
(Coopy is wearing Children's Place and Kmart "Crocs")

Colt is also enjoying the boot trend...

Booties + Dresses = simple, flirty style for an unseasonably warm fall in Western New York.

Have you hopped on the bootie band wagon?  How do you wear yours?

Happy Hump Day!

Hope you're enjoying the double entendre in this post as much as I am.

Foxy Lady

Wish you had an endless shopping budget?  Dreaming of the day you can update your wardrobe each season without a care in the world, try the latest trends without looking at price tags, and rock your spanking-new clothes like a boss?

Me too!

As nice as all of that would be, rest assured:  you don't have to spend a million bucks to look like a million bucks.  Now, it does requires some hunting and a keen eye, but you can update your wardrobe without breaking the bank if you know how to "go cheap" without looking cheap.

Take this outfit for example:

Outfit Breakdown:

Fox Sweater:  Old Navy (bought on sale last year for about $15)  

Shopping tip:  Wait til Oct 3 for Stuff &  Save and snag their current fox design for $13.20 

(that's 40% off the already discounted price of $22)  Holla!

Jeans:  Forever 21 ($7.80)  <---- that is not a typo.  Buy some.  Now.

Booties:  Kmart (currently on sale for $25)

I'm no math whiz, but based on my calculations, this whole outfit ran me about $48 dollars.  It's a perfect example of how it is possible to be on-trend without going broke.

Does bargain hunting stress you out?  Think this is all too much work?  Worried you may have undiagnosed Shopping Anxiety Disorder (SAD)?  Have you begun to sweat?  Do you swear that's a hive emerging on your left forearm?  Take a deep breath and hire me as your personal shopper to do all the dirty work for you.  I can save you time and money for FREE. What's not to like about that?  Sign up here.

When I show you how to put an outfit together for under $50, it will be high fives all around.  You might even break out your happy dance, because not only will you look cute, but your kids might even get to go to college.  BONUS!

My Happy Dance.
Hey, no one ever said it was pretty...

Love ya like I love good deals,

Two for Tuesday: Killing It

The 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collection may have been a bust... 

(That's my personal opinion - clearly most people disagree since it is sold out almost everywhere...)

But, Target's Shoe Department has been KILLING IT lately.

This summer I walked out of there with three pairs of wedges in one shopping trip!  That is CRAY!

And on Saturday, I walked out of there with not one, but two pairs of boots.  Oh shhhhhhhhh!  I needed them both!

Check them out.  I know you'll understand...

1.  Sam and Libby Booties:

They are fierce.  You should buy them.
Women's shoes are BOGO - plus free shipping over $50

2.  Mossimo Cropped Cowboy Boots

These are super comfy.  You'll probably wan to buy these too.
(Have I mentioned BOGO???!!!!!)

What do you think about Target's shoes lately?

I'd also love to hear your thoughts on the Philip Lim collaboration.  Worth the hype?  Or cheap imitations?

Love ya like I love Target BOGO shoe sales!

PS-  Women's Shoes and Handbags are Buy One, Get One 50% Off - Valid 9/22-9/28

 

From the Ground: What I wore

What do you wear to an eco-friendly fashion show?

Why vegan leather, glasses, and a beanie of course!

Hat:  Forever 21 (similar)
Glasses:  Coach  (similar in black)
Scarf:  Storiarts
Jacket:  Buffalo (similar)
Tee:  Max Studio (TJ Maxx)
Pants:  GAP
Bag:  Kate Spade
Booties:  Target

Actual conversation with my husband during our "photoshoot" (I use the term loosely).

Him:  "You're wearing LEATHER to the GREENTOPIA fashion show?  Someone is going to throw paint on you!"

Me:  "It's pleather."

Him:  "THEY don't know that!"

And that, ladies and gentleman, is one of the many reasons why he is awesome.

I later learned that the cool way to say pleather is "vegan leather."  How chic.  How green.  How devoid of any negative connotations established in the late 80s and early 90s...

PS- Those Target booties are "vegan suede."  Can't say the same for that Kate Spade bag though...

Happy Friday!

F You're Fedorable

While in Florida, I finally found a fedora large enough to fit my enormous cranium at HW Davis Clothing and Shoes in good ol' St. Augustine.  As it turns out, I'm completely obsessed, wore it almost every day, and even bought a second one to leave at my parents' beach house.  I know:  I'm sick.  What can I say?  When you have a head this big you live by that old adage: "if the hat fits, buy two."

Dying to see how my big head and I wore it?  Enjoy!

Here is one of my favorite fedora stylings from my vaca:

Dorfman Pacific Co. fedora (DPC Global Trends label in size LARGE),
Element dress, Steve Madden shoes
Jewerly:  the usual suspects

Love that this look will transition into fall - add cardi and booties (not pictured) and you're done!

What do you think?  Have you hopped on the fedora band wagon?  Or feel it's just too played out?  I'd love to know.  I speak for my big head and I when I say I'm loving this trend!

xoxo
