Everyone should love a suede platform bootie, it's such a hot little basic, and Miu Miu does it right! This striking platform with back zip is the ultimate in sexy sophistication.  It's pairs well with just about anything and kicks your look up a notch.  Being an "ultimate" anything those has it's cost and this one is $750.

Miu Miu, $750

Lucky for us Sam Edelman's "Ria" fits the bill.  This suede platform bootie substitutes a side zip instead of a back zip, but brings all the sass and class with it's 4 1/2" heel and 1" hidden platform.  Best of all at just $124 you can have the ultimate look without the ultimate price.

Sam Edelman, $124

Pop Sportif

Lucky Magazine has highlighted four great upcoming looks for the Fall season.  The first is "Pop Sportif", characterized by bright colors, balanced with dark slimming pants, and accented with subtle athletic details. Feel free to play around with proportion by "layering a stark tunic over sharp pants."
  
Key pieces to consider, skinny black pants, a form fitting scuba skirt, a bright turtleneck and a mod mini dress.  Accessorize these pieces with colorful shades, geometric and chunky wedge booties, and other contrasting bright colors.

Fashion Rx: Your weekly dose of what to wear!

Ok so I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of excited that high-waisted denim with an exaggerated flare is still holding on strong to be a staple this season.  I'm mean really how can you not go boho chic or give a subtle nod to the seventies without this style?!? Speaking of the seventies, the decade's influence is not lost on trends for this fall, but you want to make sure you're not dressed for the disco. The trick to this look is keeping it modern!

The Cure: State of the art Seventies-esque
It's important to remember that certain trends do not require you to actually purchase pieces from the decade, the style is influenced not copied.  A high-waisted, exaggerated flare pair of dark denim resembles the cut made popular in the 70's, but still incorporates a modern fit.  Pair it with a print blouse, maybe one with a semi-boho look (check out the flutter sleeves) but nothing too over the top.  Then to really make the look current, go with a bold pump, like this patent burgundy number with a slightly geometric pointy toe, definitely not a 70's staple, but will surely set this look apart!

Fall Shoe Report

New styles are pouring in daily, be sure to check out all the latest and greatest, including new trends for Fall.  Keep your eyes peeled for platform loafers, ankle wedges, pointy ankle boots, flat ankle boots (are you seeing a pattern!) stacked heel boots, flat knee-high boots, pointy flats, and sling-back bow pumps.  Girly with a twist seems to be the trendsetter this season.  Keep checking back for new styles, here are just a few.
Wowza! Black suede and tan wood make a striking pair. $139


Tall heels aren't grabbing all the attention this season. These little pumps give quite a punch with their metallic sparkle and sophisticated cut. The elastic lining ensure that they'll fit like a glove, too. $144

Not only is this wooden heeled, lace-up bootie good-looking, but it's also made eco-conscious materials and premium sheep suede. $128

Must be worn with bright red lipstick. $46

A new color and toe adornment on the ever popular pump. This shoe looks fantastic with dresses, narrow cut pants, jeans... $107

Oh those red soles have caught my eye again, and this time it's not the basic Louboutin stiletto that I'm coveting.  This time, a thicker stacked heel and exposed platform have me over the moon.  It's a basic but with beauty and brawn. Alas, $795 is too hefty for my budget.
Christian Louboutin "Bibi", $795


However, Pour la Victoire has a similar thick-heeled pump that should lighten the load on my wallet.  With the Irina II, PLV has taken it's popular pump to new heights.  With a 4.5" heel and 1.25" platform, this classic pump has gotten an upgrade with it's thicker more comfortable contour.  At just $242, my budget can easily bear this bill without it being a burden.
Pour la Victoire "Irina II", $242

Argyle Addiction

Believe it or not argyle is making it's way to a closet near you.  Designers like Sonia Rykiel and Prada are bringing back the graphic argyle patters and simplistic mod shapes.  The diamond shaped pattern can be worn as an accent or head to to accessories that are simple and ladylike.


Darker colors create a more moody argyle, go for deeper purples, blues, and forest greens to make this quirky pattern slightly more serious.

Fashion Rx: Your weekly dose of what to wear!

Do you have those back to school blues yet? Trying to figure out how to make a good impression your first day back? Looking smart and sassy this fall is definitely the way to go.  

The Cure: Blaze it up!

Start of with a basic trouser jean and pair it with a printed, flowy tie front blouse.  Cover up with a solid blazer.  Accessorize with a gold belt and a chunky bracelet.  Top it off with one of the season's hottest trends, the heeled loafer.  Smart, sexy, and ready to sail through the semester.

Disclaimer...while this look says "I've got it all together" it does not guarantee passing grades...studying required.

Well Prada never ceases to let me down.  I would proudly don this classic leopard loafer that recognizes the retro with its tonal penny keeper across the vamp.  It's the perfect pop of animal print for the ankle skinnys and silk blouse I picked up to jump start my fall wardrobe.  Alas at $790 my budget would more than likely explode.
Prada, $790

Good thing Libby Edelman has a comparable version.  Swap the penny keeper for a pair of tassels and the $790 price tag for a much more reasonable $75 one and my outfit plans are still on track for making a statement!
Libby Edelman, $75
