Cuffs

How much easier can you get with jewelery than cuffs. Just snap 'em on and spruce up your style. Making a statement with which design you pick as your cuff can make your outfit. A big recommendation is to wear double cuffs! Here are some different cuff trends that anyone can follow:

Tiger Style- if you could get anymore closer to a Cartier cat, it'd have the diamond pricetag!

OVERsized collars

I've noticed oversized collars since I went to NYC in March and picked one up from H&M, but I haven't seen one since. Now Mrs. Gwen Stefani put the great invention in her Harajuku Lovers line and out came many cute hoodies.

The Lovers Leopard Hoody $84

The Hearts Tooth Sweatshirt $84

Love the two prints, espically their names ( Hearts tooth - Houndstooth, very cute). Wear them how you like, open, folded or unzipped, I just love them any way. And oversized collars aren't going to be used just in jackets but also sweaters and shirts this fall/winter season.

Peep Toe Booties

Say that three times fast! A fun name for the Fall trend in ankle boots. What I love about ankle boots is you don't look stupid wearing them in Florida. We've all fallen victim to the horrible UGG boots, yes even me, but now we're older and wiser. Let's make up for that horrible mistake and look into an acceptable fashion boot.

Any store is going to have a pair of peep toe booties, but let's keep in mind that school books cost as much as a beloved pair of designers boots! So to keep the budget in mind, I've taken notice to a designer who's ads have been showing up in fashion magazines like "Vogue". alice + olivia is by designer Stacey Bendet, who has made it big in NYC selling her line at Barneys. Boots by Bendet sound expensive right?! Turns out she is now adding her super chic shoes for Payless. Fantastic!

Let your little toes breathe and purchase a pair of peep toe booties to your collection. And the smart thing is they even look like a pair that Lanvin would design!
