Fall for Balenciaga
The essence of street style with finesse cannot be more perfect than Balenciaga's new shoe collection. Silver, metal heels, color blocking, monochromatic shades...Nicolas Ghesquière is a genius reviving the powerhouse brand into an absolute obsession. And how perfect is it that all these lovely pumps are going to match the big fall color scheme of gray!

Shiny Black Patent
It's been a current trend for the seasons now. This Summer's twist was making patent bright but now that Fall is here, at least for the fashion world, black is coming back. Everyone tries to make pink the new black but I'd like to push that out and have black stay classic. Here's the only catch, its still summer in South Florida! In fact, it's always summer but we can keep the idea flowing, lets begin to introduce the lovely shiny black patent into accessories. Better to be gradual with this then introduce it too early.
With this introduction, I couldn't be happier than to bring back an accessory that is steadily making its way back to the scene. Bust out the Cazals, scratcher glasses or the Run DMC glasses! Whichever you call them, these black frame glasses are coming back with “Rock Box” playing in the background.
The original pair were Cazal’s worn by Run -D.M.C. Bring them out and wear them cool with your matching your ghettoblaster. Here's my only caution cause you know I always have one, only a few slick can pull these off, mainly guys. Sorry ladies but I had to say it, girls wearing these are going to look like a fly instead of fly [I had to put that pun in ]. And to this, only a few guys can wear them; every other person can wear those lame Kanye glasses. So not cool, but you have to have the style to pull of the black frame glasses; a style so raw that no one wonders about you wearing them. I love these glasses and if you can experience the unparallel coolness from these, then you can pull off anything.
Ok ladies, I am so sorry for selling ourselves out like that but these glasses are powerful, some girls wearing them just kills it. I don’t like this trend to be for everyone, I write on what I know is going to be for the select few . Don’t worry, I’m not going to leave you hanging on the shiny black patent trend. Steve Madden has the "Lilaac" Sandal that is perfect for this style. The glossy trim goes well with the gladiator straps that lay perfectly on a cork wedge.
Your man can wear the Cazals [the 600 series collection] and you can wear the Madden platforms and together you’ll be the ultimate trend couple. Enjoy!

Sublime Summer Style
Lets face it, everyone wants that full proof outfit. No matter where you are or what you’re doing, you’re outfit has to work. This always needs to be appropriate for any situation...cant be too casual or too dressy. You can do the basic business look of black cigarette pants with a white button up & pumps. But hello, Florida… Summer...you don’t want to be a sweaty mess wearing all that clothes and everyone decides to hang out at the beach. Accommodating to the season, here being summertime (and the living’s easy) pants are too out of the norm for right now, especially that basic outfit. Here's my suggestion for a on-point outfit that'll work for all locations and type of entertainment.
1. Big now are big faces. It’s as easy as that; find a tee with a face on it. Doesn't matter who's it is, just make it clear. Get that artsy, urban graphic shirt and make it work. Forever XXI has 2 cute tops I found in less than five seconds. Gotta dig a little through that jungle of mess they have but once you find it, you'll know. Don’t go for the complicated over the top design on the t-shirt; remember where thinking appropriate for most events.
2. Bottoms now, its summer, you have to go with shorts. Don’t come out all hoochie-mama miss fab with your booty shorts. Think 70's what your mom would wear. Yep, high waisted denim, the perfect cut for sucking it in but still feeling breezy to show off a summer tan. Don’t let the shorts wear you in that they overpower half your body and look like they’re starting to eat you! Keep it simple, a button-up cut, I think zippers are tacky for this style and maybe pockets unless you want that pressed look. Here's my pick from the amazing Kate Moss Topshop:
3. Shoes, the most important part. I usually start from the shoes up but you can go either way with this outfit, that’s why I love it. Go with either a cork or wooden wedge, or peep toe heals, a high top sneaker or ballet flats. Pumps I’m not going to worry about because every lady should have that emergency pair in their car. Ballet flats are simple, find them wherever, you can’t mess that up. But the high tops, so many people wear these ginormous marshmallow kicks that kill the whole outfit. I said it was a full proof outfit but shoes make everything. Don’t pick moon shoes! That’s all I ask. My two yes's are somewhat smurf-ish but now is the best time to wear this color.
4. To complete the outfit depends on the place as far as accessories go. It's common sense here: hoops or a long necklace, a skinny belt/chain belt, cardigan, you get the picture, and less is more with accessories so dress apropo. As Coco said always take one piece of before you leave the door… listen to Chanel!
