Sky High!

The higher the better is the case this coming fall. And when i say higher i mean over the knee, higher. The key to pulling off this look is to expose all of the boot. So try wearing a mini dress with long sleeves, which says sexy, yet conservative. Jennifer Lopez is definitly a fan of the up and coming trend. You may also like to try wearing a pleated skirt with the boots, then pair it with a chunky sweater. This look says adorable, yet still sensual. For me knee high boots scream, fall so have fun mixing and matching outfits with these boots.


Lopez looks stunning in her suede knee highs, and black and white mini.

This Old Navy boot, is set at a reasonable price and it also comes in chocolate.

Welcome To The 60's!

This fall, the buzz is all about 60's mod. Thanks to lines like Prada, YSL, and Jason Wu, the then trend is making it's way back this season. The trick to mastering this style is color blocking. Start with a solid monochromatic, colored pant, and add a solid top. Try not to pair the outfit with many accessories, this season there's definitely a mix of 60's mod and minimal 90's, which i love. Boxy shaped peacoat, or dress is also making their marks. Have fun with this retro trend, just don't go too Mad Men-ish

This color-blocked, retro look is from the Giambattista Valli fall '11 line.

Loving Leopard!

For this coming fall, leopard cardigans are the way to go. They are perfect for layering on a chilly, october afternoon. Or sitting outside drinking your Starbucks with your girlfriends. Leopard is also great beacause it virtually looks amazing with every color, except green and blue. Rachel Bilson is a fan of the trending print, and she wears it like perfection. Try a leopard cardi, black skinny jeans, white v-neck shirt, and nude knee-high boots! This print is fun and young, so play around with it.

Rachel looks amazing in her leopard cardi, paired with her fabulous ruffled shorts.

Cavallari in this gray and black cardi, paired with ultra sleek black skinnies.

Pointy Perfection!

This coming fall, it's all about the nails! And this season the more pointy they are, the better. These nails starting trending when they were first showcased at NYC Fashion Week Fall '11, at Jason Wu's show. He had a base color, then a gold "V" accent surrounding it. Though it may sound tricky, it's not as much of a hassel as it seems. The trick is to put the base color on first, let it dry, then add the "V" accent. It also adds a great flair to any autumn outfit!

Pink Pout!

So you may be thinking pink lips is so Jersey, gaudy, or cheap looking. But for summer, anyone can rock this trending pink lip color. This color looks great with a basic, dewy face. And a simple, minimal looking outfit. By going so chic and easy, the attention gets drawn to your lips. This summer, a medium shade is the way to go! Too light of a lip can drown you out, and too dark can make you look older. Emma Stone looks absolutely darling, in her soft pink lipstick.

Emma looks sweet as a pea, in her light pink lip shade.

Cuoco in her minimal, sleek dress matches perfectly with her soft pink shade.

Crop It Off!

Summer, a time of family get-togethers, pool parties, and..cut tops? Yes cut tops, they are the perfect, easy-going summer shirt for summer. They expose just enough stomach without reaching the slut-o-meter. And they pretty much come in all colors, and patterns. Like nautical stripes, neons, etc. Rihanna is surely the redeeming Queen of crop tops, in my opinion. The crop top can be worn in a laid back style, or more of a put together look, say for an event.
