When it comes to shoes, my philosophy is the higher the heel the better the shoe. Luckily with the return of platforms this season, my feet can finally feel a sense of comfort, without ditching the height! When lug sole boots come to mind, I definitely have a flashback to my elementary school days. That being said, we’ve all seen the recent return of the 90s, so who really is surprised by this trend?
To keep my look for Fashion Week bold and daring, I paired a
monochrome scalloped shift with a pair of
sky-high lug sole boots for a daytime look in the city. I have to say that stomping around in these boots was an amazing change from my stilettos! Lug sole boots come in all styles and colors, so for a more subdued look try
these,
these, or
these! See how I styled my look and be sure to shop my boot picks below!

If you’ve been following us this season, you’ve probably seen Flash Tattoos popping up in our posts and Instagram pictures frequently. If you haven’t heard of them, prepare to become addicted to these sparkly, temporary tattoos that are going to change the way you accessorize this summer! I’ve always been known to over-accessorize on a daily basis, that’s just who I am and it’s too late to change. No day is complete without a stacked arm party, and how can anyone wear a bauble necklace without a fab pair of earrings to top it off?
Flash Tattoos has created the perfect accessory to go with any look for any occasion. Ever since I applied my first tat at the Blaine Bowen Jewelry Launch, I can’t seem to get enough! I’ve always admired the look of a tasteful tattoo, but considering how much I love the ever-changing fashion trends, I know a permanent tattoo would not be the right decision for me. Lasting for four to six days, Flash Tattoos come in a wide variety of styles that add the just the right pop to your look. I love the way each set is sold in a package of three to four sheets, providing the opportunity to double up on designs to give a cool layered look! Whether you choose a detailed necklace design or just a small metallic shape on your wrist, these temporary tattoos are your newest must-have! Go ahead and try them out – Trust us, you will not be disappointed!

One jewelry trend that keeps popping up everywhere this season is pearls.

Ever since Karl Lagerfeld debuted his oversized pearl choker on the runway, designers have been going wild with the stones and the outcome is definitely appreciated! Take a look at some of our favorite pearl picks and be sure to stock up on this updated look:

Fashion meets art in this edgy collection of handbags I keep eyeing. Carolien Vlieger and Hein van Dam gave a whole new meaning to embossed leather with their collection of handbags featuring three-dimensional shapes that embody a certain edge that will definitely cause onlookers to give a double take. The launch of their Guardian Angel bag caught the attention of many art critics and was actually featured in the MoMA in 2005. With handbags embossed with guns, knives, and handcuffs, to name a few, this collection is definitely geared to the fashionista who enjoys a bold statement. Vlieger & Vandam has been spotted on celebrities such as Rihanna, Fergie, Rita Ora, Rumor Willis, and many others. Take a look at some of our favorites below, and let us know – Would you step out with one of these edgy handbags? I know I would!

It’s always refreshing when a style is carried over from one season to the next, which in this case involves leather-sleeve jackets. What I love about this trend is how the leather can add a hint of “cool” to even the preppiest pea coat. From trenches to bombers to blazers and more, the leather-sleeves are making a statement this season. Can’t afford the price tag of true leather? No worries, designers like Vince Camuto have made their own faux leather styles for the Fall. Check out some of my favorites below:
