Fall Fashion Trend Alert – Lace

October 12, 2011 By Denise Shively

There are tons of fashion trends for fall 2011, but one I love is that lace is back and more wearable than ever. While typically thought of as old fashioned, the new lace look blends the best of both worlds – a touch of classic elegance with a contemporary spin for today’s women. If you dare to tackle the lace trend, check out these pieces for inspiration.

Qupid Glitter Bootie

What a gorgeous shoe! With a 5″ covered stiletto heel, these babies definitely aren’t for the timid. The bow detailing, lace overlay and a back zipper closure will help you put your best foot forward this season – literally!

($44.95, DSW)

Inge Christopher Lace Clutch

This is the perfect evening bag to take for a night on the town. It’s big enough to hold all of your essentials, but the removable strap means you can keep it close to your body or hold it perfectly in your palm when you’re on the go. Plus, the lace detailing is simply beautiful. Available in white or black.

($63.75, eBags.com)

D&G Lace Blouse

This feminine, sheer lace blouse will look lovely paired with pants or a skirt. Throw on a pair of killer heels and your look will be complete. Just don a camisole underneath so you avoid baring too much skin; you want to leave something to the imagination!

($160.50, TheOutnet.com)

Marc by Marc Jacobs Lace Dress

For those who want to tackle the lace trend full force, this gorgeous dress will fit the bill! A nude underlay keeps you covered up, while the flattering v-neck design and seam detailing keeps you comfortable. Throw on a cardigan, a pair of opaque tights and a pair of heels and you’ll be ready for whatever the night throws at you.

($304, farfetch.com)

Lace Bow Hair Pins

For just a hint of lace, try these lace bow hair pins on for size. You get a set of 2 high-gloss bobby pins complete with delicate lace bows with satin trimming. Very feminine and oh so chic! Plus, they’re super budget friendly at only $1.50 for a pair of two – how can you go wrong?

($1.50, Forever21)

Fashion Conundrum

November 23, 2010 By Sara Cornell

In the early fall I bought a pair of peep-toe booties. Initially I wasn’t really sure that they would “work”, but since I am always ready for a fashion adventure I decided to give them a real shot at becoming a cornerstone of my wardrobe. They have delivered beautifully! I wear them with jeans, long flowing skirts, short skirts, dress pants…I even paired them with a black cocktail dress for a special event. My peep-toe booties are the perfect combination of edgy and functional and comfortable and “not too out there” and heel height. I LOVE them!

Nine West Highstep Bootie, $109 at Piperlime

Here is my conundrum…It’s the end of November. Winter is coming. I live in a cold climate. Even on the days when the temperature is hovering in the 50s my toes are getting cold. And it’s kind of weird to sport open toes after a certain calendar date. I’ve begun to notice people looking at my feet when I’m standing in line at Starbucks. Are they admiring my shoes or are they thinking that I’m crazy for not completely covering my feet? But I love my peep-toe booties! They have become my go-to footwear. By the time the weather improves enough to wear open toe shoes again we’ll be looking at bright colored sandals and flip-flops.

How long do you think I can wear open-toe booties and not look like a freak?

Loving My Eddie Moran Lola Knee High Boots

November 5, 2010 By The Fashionable Housewife

The other day, I was bopping around on the internet when i randomly came across Eddie Moran Lola Knee-High Boots. I just fell in love instantly and impulsively purchased them!

After I bought them, I thought “Oh gosh! That’s so not like me!” I mean I usually research things to death before I hit the checkout button. I didn’t even comparison shop first! ACK!!!!

So away I went to comparison shop and price check, even though I already purchased them. I had to at least make sure I got a good deal. Thankfully, I DID!! I couldn’t find boots this lovely on any other site that were less expensive. I found lots of others that looked like this for $100+ though.

So, since they ended up being such a great deal, I just had to tell you ladies about them! And not only that, I am totally happy with them because they ended up fitting me perfect AND they are comfortable too.

Price: $54.95
