Paul Andrew has a knack for creating beautiful, sexy, and also comfortable high heels, which is a rarity among designers. These wedge heels boast a gold geometric cutout pattern on the heel, which blend elegantly with the black satin fabric that composes the rest of the shoe.
Wear these with gold jewelry and a LBD. ‘Nuff said.

We love Suki Waterhouse, we love Coachella street style, and we love the Tommy Hilfiger 90’s inspired outfit Suki Waterhouse wore at the music festival. See below for the details on how you can create the look for yourself.
Anytime great fashion designers collaborate with coveted style icons, the end result is amazing across the board. This season, Aquazzura and Poppy Delevingne brought their fashion forces together to create a beautiful collection of sandals and boots inspired by the bohemian style of her wedding in Morocco.
One of my favorites from the collection are these Midnight sandals, created with nude suede and metallic leather. They are embedded with astrological symbols and turquoise stones, which look incredible contrasted against the shimmery gold.
Style ’em with a pair of oversized silk shorts à la Poppy (do a Pinterest search for Poppy Delevingne’s style if you’re confused), or with a flowing midi skirt to amplify the free-spirited feel of these sandals.

Pantone officially declared two colors of the year for 2016: Rose Quartz & Serenity. Rose Quartz is a dusty rose hue, while Serenity is a soft, purplish blue, which represent the blending and blurring of gender lines. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, explains, “In many parts of the world we are experiencing a gender blur as it relates to fashion, which has in turn impacted color trends throughout all other areas of design. This, [with] societal movements toward gender equality and fluidity, the consumer’s increased comfort with using color as a form of expression, a generation that has less concern about being typecast or judged and an open exchange of digital information.”

Tom Ford is, and always will be, the sexiest designer known to the fashion industry to date. He proves this time and time again, and honestly, the fact that he is able to make a pair of denim boots sultry is only further evidence. These patchwork denim and leather knee boots from his Fall 2015 runway collection are a perfect blend of bohemian and badass.

Karlie Kloss’ darling Barbie-looking wrap dress at DVF.
The model who tripped at Givenchy, and the two darling gentlemen that immediately helped her up….which made me notice all of the models shoes looked like they were untied…
The plethora of other Barbie-worthy dresses at Carolina Herrera.
The cringe-worthy idea that models should take selfie-sticks on the same runway…
The Always Gorgeous, Fairytale-kinda Beauty, Marchesa show.
The rainbow eyelids at Betsey Johnson.
That Dress at Givenchy. Yes, please.
At first I thought this dress was the dress to make all other black fur dresses obsolete….
But then I saw this one, and it made me question everything…. Sigh (#whitegirlproblems).

Animal prints have never really been my thing. I blame all of the zebra prints I saw growing up that made adults look larger than life (such an unforgiving print, sigh…). However, in the last few years, snakeskin and crocodile prints have been quickly crept into my life and I can’t pretend I’m not absolutely obsessed. On that note, leopard print has also quickly become a guilty pleasure of mine. I love, love, love leopard print & Louboutin red mixed together, along with deep, ruby reds and burgundies. Of course, you can’t go wrong with leopard print and black, and, as our dear fashion icon Kate Moss has shown us over the years, it always looks badass.
Francesco Russo fur detail leopard print sandals, $1,635.00
Enter, these Francesco Russo fur detail leopard print sandals, shown above. With an adorable fur mohawk on the heel, these are a perfect sandal to transition into the fall with. Match ’em with a pair of baggy athletic harem pants, and maybe this adorable Salvatore Ferragamo Sofia satchel (if you really want to go above and beyond).
What do you think of these leopard print sandals? Do you wear animal prints?

There is something utterly girly and adorable about pom-pons and fringe that gets me all nostalgic about my adolescent days of riding around in a colorful bicycle with hot pink, glittery pom-poms on the handlebars. So, naturally, when I came across these Rochas Fringed Sling-Back Pumps, adorned with gold and pink fringe on the toes, and an gemstone embellished high heel, I immediately fell head over heels (pun always intended…I can’t not.). If your inner child is also smitten for these pumps, you can feel really good about purchasing these $1,194 heels, as they are marked down from the original $1,190, so you’re technically saving $796. Well, just look at you, being all economical and such!

Pantone recently revealed their Fall 2015 color palette, which consists of earthy neutrals and bold, standalone colors that balance each other and “reflect landscape of hope, fun, fantasy, and all things natural”.
These colors were evident in Fall 2015’s runway looks, featuring timeless pieces inspired from the free, bohemian vibes of the 60’s and 70’s, and the allure of the 1920’s. The color palette is, for the first time ever, truly androgynous, and work with both men’s and women’s fashion.

Perry Ellis’ Interpretation of the color palette
Juxtaposition of color from opposite sides of the spectrum emphasizes poise and confidence on the runway. The Fall 2015 palette is rooted in multi-faceted, androgynous colors that can be worn to portray effortless sophistication across men’s and women’s fashion; it is the first time we are seeing a truly unisex color palette.
-Leatrice EisemanExecutive Director, Pantone Color Institute®
Rebecca Minkoff’s inspiration derived from Pantone’s color palette
What are your favorite colors from the palette? I am a huge fan of “Dried Herb”, “Desert Sage”, “Marsala”, “Cadmium Orange”, and “Cashmere Rose”. And basically, all of them.
xo, lovely
