The Belle of the Fall
Fall colors are inspirational. With the wide array of rich browns, olives, reds, and oranges, the color options for fall looks are endless. Whether it's a fantastic pair of heels or a fabulous jacket, often times it just takes the right piece and everything else just seems to fall into place. And even the simplest of pieces can make a statement if chosen in an eye-catching color. I would say that a large majority of the stylishly chic have a love affair with the fall. Spring and summer have their pluses with the simplicity and ease of the styles, but fall is the time that separates the men from the boys....or you know what I mean. There is a large difference between knowing that your new DVF sundress is a fantastic look, and being able to combine and layer fall pieces to create your own personal masterpiece. You could easily combine some of my favorite pieces (below) and trends for fall by simply staying within nature's hues... ending up with a successful and purposeful combination.

Bigger is NOT Always Better...

Have A Heart
We can talk about fashion til we are blue in the face, or plum, or chartreuse...whichever is the "it color" at the time. But we all know that while fashion takes a high spot on the priority list, there are definitely other things that take precedence. So I ask you, what if you lost everything? I mean really everything. I don't mean someone took off with your favorite pair of Choos or your handbag got ruined in a drunken rage last weekend; I mean you lost everything. Food, clothing, clean water, a roof over your head...all of life's basic necessities stripped out from under you. Would anyone come to your rescue? How would you start your life over?

It's Raining Men!
Anyone who knows me knows that I tend to rock ridiculously tall shoes. Even when my feet are absolutely killing me, if the outfit needs it, I grow the four to six inches. Platforms pumps have made this feat (pun intended) a little easier but the hot new looks for fall are all the more comfortable. Menswear-inspired shoes are all the rage. And the great part is that they are almost all flats! Everything from the penny loafer to the lace up oxford is being seen in fashion's latest looks.
From Sienna Miller to Kate Moss, your fashion icons have be rocking their boyfriends' kicks. And if they are doing it....then everyone should! Pair some neon yellow oxfords like Sienna with rolled up jeans and a slouchy tee. Or sport the pennies with cropped skinny jeans and a moto jacket or blazer like Kate. Designers are all over the loafer trend for spring as well, so invest in a pair that will transition and last a few seasons.
So, I have to admit. I do not own a pair of flat oxfords. Being a size 9, I hate anything that makes my foot look super long. But, I haven't given up hope. It is just going to take the right pair. I have a fantastic pair of grey, lace-up, oxford-esque, heeled booties straight from Paris that will suffice in the meantime. As far as penny loafers go, they will be in my closet asap. A classic pair of black patents are the perfect slide on and go addition for your feet!
