dv by Dolce Vita shearling ankle boots

Originally from Texas, I have a deep love for boots!  Perhaps, this is why I eagerly await every year for fall/winter to roll in to scout some warm, comfortable, and chic items such as, boots.   Shearling or sheepskin being one of the hottest must-have fabric trends of the season, designers like Burberry Prorsum, Phillip Lim, and Rag & Bone are incorporating the basic fabric with their fashion apparel, boots, and accessories.  With that said, I stumbled across a pair of dv by dolce vita leather ankle boots at Ross for only $39.99 originally $139.00.  Its fold over shearling collar is what lured me in to take a closer look and not to mention,  its buckle strap detail also added on to its aesthetic principle.  I would say three important principles are met here; functional, fetching, and friendly on price!  Rock these boots with a pair of leggings, skinny jeans, or with bare legs while the weather is still warm.

Wilton Sheer Maxi Skirt

Sheer fabric was seen all over the spring 2011 runways and celebrities were wearing them all over the red carpet.  This fall season sheer maxi skirts are staying on trend.  It is time to flaunt our best assets that we have been working on all summer such as our legs with a sheer maxi skirt.  These skirts show off just the right amount of skin making us look feminine, elegant, and sexy!  So, remember ladies showing off a particular part of the body is sexy just as long as it is kept to only one part of the body. Over exposure can be a bit gaudy.  After all, we do love leaving room for imagination.  What fascinates me is how this sheer maxi skirt can easily transition itself from spring to fall or from fall to spring and how versatile this skirt is as it looks great with any style preference you have.  I was able to get my hands on a black sheer asymmetrical maxi skirt at Marshalls for only $39.99 by contemporary fashion label, Wilton. What's even better is that it is not only lined with an opaque mini skirt for coverage and for any modest fashionistas, but it also has gathered pleating throughout detailing a flowing and fluid look!  This is a fashion see-through must-have for sure!!

Valentina Cross-Body Mini-Bag

The cross-body bag continues to be a hot trend this season and it comes in many variations, but how about incorporating an animal print bag for your fall wardrobe! I found a Valentina made in Italy leopard print bag with pony hair, gold hardware, triple compartments, and leather straps at Marshall's for only $39.99.  This is a wonderful deal that will not put a dent in your wallet.  This is a perfect bag for running errands during the day or a night out on the town!

Bold Red

Are you ready to "paint the town red" as "red" being the color of the moment in fashion this FALL.  This hue worn on your shoes, handbags, accessories, or clothes will make you pop and you will definitely be turning heads this fall.  Mixing different shades of red together will give you a fashion forward tonal look or try pairing it with black, neutrals, or metallics.  This labor day weekend, I picked up a bold red, silk blouse by fashion label Sunday in Brooklyn for $39.99 at Marshall's and retails for over $100.  This blouse is an everyday basic and can be styled to look casual, chic, and trendy.  It can be worn in the office with a slim skirt or trousers or it can be worn at night with jeans or leather pants.  This is a FALL MUST-HAVE!!
