BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS

This Fall-Winter is a mix of influences. On one hand we have a return to sleek, polished and feminine appeal. On the flip side we see an appeal to a funkier roughed up military undertone, but whether you need a new classic dress boot or a fashion boot to really take an outfit to the next level you can find it this year

Stuart Weitzman
This boot will take you just about anywhere and it will do it for years to come. A classic style made from stretch suede for a formed fit.

Tory Burch
This is a great versatile style. The wedge provides comfort and support but also a cool twist on the classic shape of the boot. The leather is rich too.

Sergio Rossi
This one is a show stopper. This mid thigh boot can be folded down or worn high depending on what look you are going for. The leather is a great textured print in a soft gold finish that really comes off with a neutral appeal.

Cynthia Vincent
This casual boot has the addition of a leather strap that laces the back. A point of interest is a must in basic pieces. That way your look is always easy and simple but not boring.

Giuseppe Zanotti
Olive! Here is a hint at the military style that is such a bold influence this season. The color is really easy to work with - start playing with it and you will see how great it looks with all the basics and quite a lot of the bright and bold colors as well.

Sergio Rossi
This one is so easy. A great black boot with fantastic detailing that can be dressed up or down. The heel is sturdy and the platform is deep so the look packs drama not discomfort.

New clutches for day and evening

This year I am really glad to see that handbags have a lot of variety - they run a whole range of shapes, colors, materials and sizes. One notable trend this season is the movement back to bags with structure. An easy place to spot examples of the trend is in clutches, for day and evening and from lots of different designers.

Rebecca Minkoff
Love her work. This great medium size clutch has plenty of room for the essentials and a lot of style. The fringe is optional, so if it isn't for you just take it off. The bag can also be worn with the long cross body strap - this is an important trend for day wear clutches also.
-Rebecca Minkoff will be having a stock show in the store from September 8-11, mark your calendars and come see her fantastic pieces that you won't find anywhere else-

Kotur
These are just a few of the gorgeous authentic snake skin pieces that I have in from Kotur right now. There are also beautiful gilded metal clutches and fun jacquard prints. Have fun with color this season, winter is always so neutral that you can have fun with your favorite colors - just make sure they are sumptuous and rich for this fall!

Carlos Falchi
He is world renowned for fantastic snake skin bags and I love that his work is not resigned purely to be "classic". These larger day to cocktail clutches are slightly long and easy to use. Instead of trying too hard to match your prints and colors let an outstanding bag like this stand out as it was meant to. You should always have fun with accessories.

Zaida Michele
I am so happy to have Zaida Michele back. These exotic skin bags are great quality and the colors are very special for exotics. The price is beyond good too - far better than other exotics on the market. The vibrancy in the specialty colors and the variety of shapes and designs makes these bags really fresh. These are great for any occasion or for no occasion at all, just grab your great looking reliable clutch and go.

New GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI

This is one of my favorite new pieces in right now. Open toe boots are everywhere and they look great with a lot of different things but the addition of the stretch ankle cuff really adds some distinction and a very cool edge.

This bootie is beautiful and made for Dallas. It is 110 degrees and thinking about Fall clothes is tough but this is a perfect place to start your wardrobe. When you wear this with pants it will have all of the look of a boot but you won't have to worry about how hot a boot can be sometimes.

Pumps don't come much better than this. This is a fantastic shoe - classic, feminine, and very wearable but without sacrificing style. The gorgeous dark silver finish dresses well with just about any color - it is perfect for:
wearing with black
updating a navy look
going with the fall monochromatic look and wearing all gray
not to mention how easy it is to wear with vibrant colors like fall reds.
