A Perfect Tee. . .

The Everlane Ryan Tee is a must have!  I ordered this tee to see how it fit and I loved it!  I went back and bought two more!  I've been looking for a plain tee to throw on and still look chic and comfy.  It's so soft and drapes well...it's just the right fit.  Comes in white, black, blue, and grey. Great tee for layering under a blazer, cardi, or sweater during the colder months and fab all on it's own when it's warmer paired with your fav jeans.  I'm loving it with a pair of simple cropped pants. a printed blazer or keep it classic with black, and of course my go-to ankle boots. Dress it up or down, this tee will be your favorite!

Love It or Leave It: Buckle Booties

laurence dacade

Buckle up for Fall, because this trend is HOT on the Street!  Booties/ankle boots are great to transition out of your Summer sandals and jump into Fall.  I'm a huge fan of the ankle boot, especially the Dicker boot-(pricey, but worth every single cent,bought my mom a pair), not a huge fan of buckles.  I am a fan of the Tacy button-bootie...just lovely!  But, I think I'm leaving this trend alone.  Actually, let me take that back!  I do really love the Lombard woven bootie (below) by Jeffrey Campbell.  Got my eye on those!  Ok, I'm done...

Splurge vs Steal...

SPLURGE...

                           Dicker Boot by Isabel Marant ($600)
                           Black & Cognac, Taupe is sold out!

  

STEAL...





Jamison Ankle Boot by Dolce Vita ($119)
Black & Taupe

For two Fall/Winter seasons I have wanted the Isabel Marant Dicker boot(remember this post), but I haven't figured out how to justify this purchase to the Husband.  He will not understand that they are by the amazing French designer Isabel Marant, made in France(ooolala!!!), they are the most sought after boot out there, and I just have to have them.  Nope, he would just look at me and say I understand, but...  So, when I laid eyes on the Jamison boot I thought they kinda resembled the Dicker boot with some minor differences. Hmmm...

What do you think? Splurge or Steal? 

Birthday(a month from today)or Christmas?

And I'm off and running...
