The letter "F" stands for...

Fall, Fashion, and FRYE!

Frye boots date all the way back to the Civil War era when John A. Frye founded the company in 1863. With a commitment to quality craftsmanship it’s no wonder these boots have stood the test of time. The styles are classic and timeless, consistently featuring a “bulky toe and chunky heel, which according to Vogue (my fashion bible) makes it a “boot for all seasons” and the trend for Fall. Pair them with a skinny jean, a skirt (mini, pencil, take your pick), or leggings and tights, and you’ve got a look that you’re comfortable wearing outdoors and gives you a chic look indoors. These boots are a must have for any shoe wardrobe.

Not in the market for a boot? Frye lends its traditional American Vintage style to heels as well! Come check out the new Fall Frye today!

Sandals That Make A Statement


Have you ever found yourself facing this dilemma?

You have been invited to a summer BBQ, hmm what should you wear? A cute simple sundress? Shorts? You don’t want to be overly casual, but it’s no black tie event either…you settle on the sundress, but what shoes will add just the right amount of flair? Rubber flip-flops? Boring. Heels? They will help aerate your host’s lawn. The sandals you picked up at Poppy and Stella will be just right!

Dating back over 10,000 years and made popular by the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, sandals have served our feet as a functional piece of footwear. Defined as a piece of footwear that exposes the foot, they are a trendy choice for the warm months of summer. But the sandal is more than just a way to keep our feet cool. Today, finding the perfect sandal can add just the right amount of punch and pizzazz to any outfit.

Trendy embellished sandals give us a reason to smile. Simple yet sophisticated, they can spice up any outfit. Whether you need a pop of color or some glitz and glam, big stones, tiny crystals, beaded, or metallic, these shoes are a great way to polish off any look from your summer wardrobe.

Hurry and grab a pair of sandals with style before the sun sets on summer!

French Sole - Neutrals and Metallics for Spring

The fashion weeks have all wrapped up and the trends for spring did not disappoint. Washes of cream and blushing pink walked the walk at Rachel Roy, Marc Jacobs, and Behnaz Sarafpour. Peek-a-boo cutouts ranged in intensity from bold slashes at Michael Kors to demure and sexy mesh at Doo.ri. Metallics transcended disco fever and added a sophisticated glitz and glimmer to Derek Lam, Proenza Schouler, and the always immaculate Diane von Furstenberg.

And now spring's finest have arrived at Poppy & Stella, elevating crisp white sundresses to haute couture and putting you one well-heeled step ahead of the department store interpretations yet to come.

From French Sole, maker of the original ballet flat since 1982, known for exceptional quality and comfort, and of course, impeccable style.


Both $143

Color yourself pretty with All Black

You know those mornings when you wake up fully rested, the sun is coming through the windows, and you're delighted to find that yes, you actually did remember to set the timer on the coffee? A priceless fresh start that renews the spirits and puts a much needed exuberance back in your stride. I don't think I have to explain this kind of elation, do I? And to celebrate this spirit of bliss, it seems only fitting to have a pair of shoes on hand that look as jubilant as you feel.

I offer these ladylike flats by All Black, which are anything but. Perfectly balanced sophistication with Brazilian craftsmanship and keen eye for color.





Graphic $123

A gorgeous taupe and black graph canvas provides a coveted neutral base for the bubbly collection of gold, coral, and turquoise baubles adorning these chic and comfy flats. Be the envy of the office, coffee shop, or wherever the day may take you.




Green Quilt $100

Verdant, grassy, leafy, lush. Slip into these quilted, metallic gold-lined skimmers and you'll be blooming from the ground up.

New Sam Edelman Flats



Flats are truly the perfect transitional shoe. When you are tired of wearing boots but it is definitely not warm enough for sandals, throw on a pair of cute flats are you are all set. Both of these styles are cute and practical enough to wear now and later.

House of Harlow 1960 Jewelry








Nicole Ritchie's new jewelry line is clearly inspired by the vintage styles from the 1960's and 1970's. These wearable and affordable pieces are a little art-deco, a little boho and all over chic. Priced from $25 to $135, they won't completely break the bank though each piece is 14K gold plated and made to last.
