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...

Curves & Prints

photo credit: jiggyloves

Curves and Prints are a lovely thing! Wearing prints camouflages problem areas and are really fun to wear.  In the photo, I'm wearing a printed jumpsuit by Anthropologie (no longer available), which I love and it's great for my curves.  It pulls up, no annoying zippers or buttons.   A lot of the time it's hard to find quality and cute pieces to fit just right, but I think I found some cuties that my curvy reader will love.  Here are some of my go-to online shops. . .

Love It or Leave It: High-Waist Shorts

photo credit: passion foodie

It's Summer...4th of July is tomorrow and vacations are booked!  All you need is a pair of high-waist shorts.  The high-waist thing is on trend for the season in swimsuits, pencil skirts, and cropped pants, and of course vintage.  When I saw this photo of  Dyan of Passion Foodie and our beloved Blah Blah Birds rocking some high-waist shorts during a trip to Jamaica, I definitely had to show how cute her look was and help you find some cuties to wear this Summer too.  So, here's what I found...

Love It or Leave It: Floral Pant

girls off fifth

The printed pant is going nowhere, and the floral print pant is knocking down doors for Spring/Summer.  The Pency Palm print pant Janelle of Girls Off Fifth is rockin' is calling my name!!!  From head-to-toe, this is totally my style (well, except for the high sandals, would do a wedge or flat...gotta know your limitations).  Janelle's over-sized blush blazer and high-low button-down blouse makes those Pencey pants go pop...I'm Loving  It!!!

Love It or Leave It: Head-To-Toe Denim

Rihanna's wearing: current elliot perfect shirt and acne denim skirt (similar)

As soon as I saw Rihanna's look, I was like...love it!  I've always been a denim girl!  More denim, the better!  I've been through tons of denim shirts, but still have this tattered one from the Gap I always keep around for layering.  How do you wear it well?  Make it easy and pair your fav denim shirt with your fav denim bottom, mix and match denim washes and prints, and pair a denim jumpsuit or dress with a denim bomber jacket or vest.  Endless possibilities!  I'll be wearing denim forever...it's classic! 

Here's some of my denim favs...

Love It or Leave It: Cropped Jackets

cropped jacket: zara

Loving the cropped jacket...a classic from the 80's!  It's great for Spring when it's a bit cooler in the evenings.  Lovely layering piece and easy to just throw on and go.  Pair a leather cropped moto jacket with a floral midi or maxi dress to give it some edge or pair a denim cropped jacket (here and here) with ankle sweatpants and oversized tee.   Any way you throw it on, you will be on trend and classic chic.
