The YSL Tribute boots were on the feet of anyone who's anyone, so you can't really be surprised that they were knocked off. What I AM surprised at, is how long it actually took. Interesting. But the bebe version looks pretty close - and fab.

I confess I didn't know who Eugenia Kim was before (literally) two minutes ago, but FabSugar wrote up a post on her new capsule collection for Urban Oufitters and I totally died for this beanie.

Am I the only one who's over summer already? The rain and humidity has been a huge buzzkill, totally killing my outfit options. I'm ready for the humidity to die down already and the crisp autumn air to set in so I can rock fab headwear like this!...until these boots hit Payless shelves this September. Alice + Olivia for Payless, $50! Payless! Who knew?

View the rest of Payless' designer collabs at their Web site - Abaete's got some pretty fab coming, and you can also see Christian Siriano's collection if you missed it from Fashion Week :)
Leave it to Rumi Neely of FashionToast to totally turn me on to the Hot Topic Web site. You know the store - it's all red and black, usually the one you walk a little bit faster when you pass it in the mall. On her site, Rumi raved about a pair of pants she bought there, and the fashion sleuth in me totally had to investigate. For the most part, I was turned off by the clothing, but to my surprise there were a few interesting pieces I could totally see myself wearing.
Tripp Black Hook Grommet Pocket Denim Pants, $58
Seriously the longest name for a pair of pants I've ever seen. These pants have some pretty sick detailing for the price tag.
Tripp Black Mesh Ripped Skinny Jeans, $49
For those of us who are hesitant to drop $100+ on a pair of trendy J Brand jeans that you can only wear so many times!
Jessica Louise Black and White Heart Tube Romper, $42
This piece has Old Hollywood appeal to me - it's ill-fitting on this model, but otherwise it could be really cute. I like the frill detail.
If any of these pieces struck your fancy, check out Hot Topic's page (who knew I would ever be saying that?).
Hey everyone! First off, let me sincerely apologize for being a horrible blogger. I've started a new job and wouldn't you know, three days into it, was struck with appendicitis that resulted in emergency surgery and me sleeping for a few days straight.
Glad to say I'm back :), and even though I had to cancel a much-anticipated trip to New Orleans in light of my surgery, I'm in a good mood. And who isn't in a good mood when they come by a pair of shoes that call out to them? Scroll down a few posts to see the Topshop Chloe knockoffs that I blogged about a while back - 'cause it seems that they've been edged out by none other than boho chic retailer Free People. (Many thanks to KnightCat for first blogging about this!)

Love them even more with the fishnets!
I used to be all about high heels, but scurrying around NYC lately has made me embrace flats - and these are just as fierce as a pair of high heels!
I've seen these Chloe studded boots througout the blogosphere for awhile now - according to a Web site called StyleGuru they retail for upwards of $1,200!

That's a pretty substantial price tag, even for all the immaculate studding and fab buckle details. However, for a mere $160 you can get your Chloe fix from Topshop.

Not quite as much detail, but the same basic idea for about $900 less. You be the judge. (PS, they're also available in white, cobalt blue, and red. Check the Topshop site for more color options.)
Fringe is everywhere lately - from Alexander Wang's open-toe boots to Forever 21 totes - and you don't have to spend a fortune to try this cowboy-inspired trend. I was just browsing the American Apparel site when I stumbled across this gem... It's less than $50, and the breezy summer cut is perfect for humid days when you can't stand to have any cloth stick to your skin.

Just think of how fab this would look over any of the Forever 21 print leggings I blogged about earlier...Going to school in the tundra of upstate New York, leggings were a no-fail winter staple. So effortless and comfortable, especially for early mornings when the sub-freezing temperatures were less than motivating to brush my car off and go to class. Although, now that I'm officially done, I'd totally brave those horrific temperatures to go back to college again! But back to the point...
I've always admired graphic print leggings but was always hesitant to spend the same amount of money on them that I'd spend on denim because they lack versatility. Sure, they have the same level of comfort as your basic black or gray pair, but you can only wear them so many days in a row or dress them up differently. Well, it seems that Forever 21 has come through this summer and now stocks cheap chic graphic leggings, which can be paired with a tunic or slouchy tank for an easy summer outfit.

I'll admit that the last two pairs look like rip-offs of other brands - the middle one being a rip of the Married to the Mob graffiti leggings and Sprouse Louis Vuitton leggings; the last pair a rip of American Apparel leggings - and from what I've read lately Forever 21 has been slammed with lawsuits regarding their obvious copies of high-fashion pieces. I wonder if any of these brands will be next to slap F21 with a lawsuit. You heard it here first!I never blogged about this but should have - Target's latest collaboration with Hollywood boutique Intuition is now in stores and features stylish accessories at wallet-friendly prices. There are a few pieces I'm eyeing...

For some reason the Target Web site is acting up and you can't shop the collection from there - hopefully that glitch will be fixed soon! Luckily, though, you can buy the pieces from Amazon if you're not located near a Target store (I entered "Hollywood Intuition Target" in the search box). Still deciding whether I like the tote in purple or green, hmm...
Yes, you read correctly. According to The Cut, these Marc by Marc Jacobs cocktail rings have hit the designer's Bleecker Street store, retailing at a mere $12. Who says the recession can't have its perks?

Perfect price for a piece of designer costume jewelry in my opinion, plus you get to choose from five colors. Don't they remind you of Ring Pops?
