Trends for Tots:: Cutie Booties

I have a minor obsession with children's shoes. Whenever I am near a the kiddie shoe section at a store, I can't help but take a peek at the miniture shoe collections. I love how the little shoes follow the "big people" shoe trends ... it just cracks me up! While strolling through Target recently, here a few pairs that I found to be absolutely adorable:

Toddler Girls' Xhilaration® Jacquetta Suede Fringe Boots - Fuchsia (also available in Brown), $19.99. (I actually purchased these for my cute little 1-year-old neighbor!!) Every little girl needs these boots worn a jean skirt for a perfect Fall look!



Children's Next by Adi Designs Faux Suede Pom Boots - Black (also available in Brown), $26.99.
I picture these paired over leggings...oh, so trendy and cute!


Toddler Girls' Xhilaration® Jacky Lou Boots - Pink, $19.99. How perfect are these for splashing in the rain?!

Blue Dangles Boutique

Attention all you Atlanta girls:: No matter where you live in the city, you need to make a trip to the Blue Dangles Boutique in Johns Creek. Boutiques like Blue Dangles are a rare-find:: This store is packed with totally unique, fashion-forward clothes, accessories and shoes that you won't find anywhere else in town. Blue Dangles owner, Tracy Gruber, is passionate about fashion and about helping her clients look their best so it's completely understandable why Blue Dangles draws its clientele from all parts of Georgia. I love Tracy's philosophy behind her boutique:: “I want everyone that comes into my boutique to feel a warmth about their shopping experience. Each one of my customers is very special and unique, hence, I make it my focus to learn about their fashion sense, likes and concerns. Being able to match that with the beautiful merchandise allows every customer to obtain something just for them, not for everyone. I feel that my name is on every purchase and I want that woman to feel great and look great.” And did I mention Blue Dangles is affordable? Most items are priced under $100 and there are plentiful styles for every age, body-type and budget. What's not to love about that?!

In fact, I had the privilege of working with Blue Dangles and getting to know Tracy in recent weeks since the boutique outfitted all 14 models at Sunset on the Roof fashion show event that I hosted last night. I'm a huge fan...and am confident you'll soon be one too!

Happy Shopping!

Get Katherine's Look!

I love Katherine Heigl's sophisticated look during her appearance recently on Good Morning America. Katherine is wearing a J.Crew Silk Frances ruffled blouse (I probably shouldn't admit this, but I found this exact blouse at the J.Crew Outlet for less than half the price last month!!) and a pearl/black ribbon necklace. I love this look...so classic and perfectly intertwining several trends of this fall season: ruffles, pearls and grosgrain-ribboned accessories. Though I cannot vouch that her necklace is the Stella & Dot Jenna Pearl and Ribbon Necklace, it certainly looks identical to it! The Jenna Necklace (pictured below) is a phenomenal buy for this season. Priced at only $44, this necklace can be shortened to make a look like Katherine's or looks great worn long over a plain top or a little black dress.
I just love the styles of this season!

Men's Style Monday:: The Military Jacket

The Military Jacket is the "it" men's outer layer this Fall. Military-inspired jackets, cardigans and sweaters add a trendy, masculine element to any outfit. Old Navy's Men's Jersey-Lined Military Jacket ($49.50) is a perfect, easy layer to throw on this fall.

Love J.Crew's Military Mockneck Wool Cardigan ($168). This cardigan looks great over a tee or dressed up over a button down and tie.
Nordstrom's Black Rivet Hooded Military Coat ($150.00) has a removable thermal-lined hood and can act as a versatile winter coat.

The Boyfriend Jacket

If you are going to invest in one lightweight jacket this year, the boyfriend jacket is the way to go. It's effortlessly chic paired with a long white tee or tank and either leggings or pencil-thin jeans. Layering on lots of necklaces and chains completes the look. Look for a jacket that is comfortable so you can easily move your arms around it (some stretch in the material is nice) and a longer cut, that will hit you around the hips or below if you plan to wear it with skinnies or leggings.
For a slouchier, more casual and warmer take on the Boyfriend Jacket, I love this wooly black one by Free People.


I'm very impressed with The Express Long Boyfriend Jacket. It's a great all around jacket for a reasonable price.

The Bib Necklace

The Bib Necklace is a must-have statement accessory this season. Bejeweled Bib's have been featured on runways everywhere as well as recently in Vogue and In Style Magazines. A Bib necklace looks fabulous paired with a simple tank/tee, jeans and cardigan/blazer as well as dressed up to the nines with a cocktail dress. I can't get enough of Stella & Dot's Natasha Embroidered Bib Necklace and, thus, wasn't surprised when I found it featured in the October issue of InStyle Magazine! It is simply fabulous.
The JET/CRYSTAL BIB NECKLACE at the White House/Black Market offers a similar look::
For a golden glow, the Glow Round Chips Bib Necklace is a perfect accessory.
