A Shoe Named Smiles


I discovered today that Gap's Piperlime.com website has a tab that reads "Girl on a Budget." Not only did that make me smile, but then I found my next favorite pair of shoes named 'smiles'! What makes these brown pumps stand out is the lovely red platform and heel. These will pretty much work in and out of the office too, so I don't think you can go wrong!

Sam Edelman "Renzo" Studded Booties


These Sam Edelman booties immediately caught my eye-- not only do I love this color, but the studs on the heel, make them unique and edgy!! Exactly how I love my shoes. Happy Tuesday!

Are you excited for fall fashion??



I don't know about you, but I can't get enough of fall fashion-- sweaters, tights, boots and jackets in all kinds of beautiful rich colored shades and textures. If you were lucky enough to scoop up any Missoni merchandise at Target last week, consider yourself lucky. I did my best to venture out to the nearest Target store right before 12pm, with no such luck.

I've already browsed through my September issue of Marie Claire, People StyleWatch, Luckymag.com and a ton of other fashion websites. As my budget does not allow for haute couture, I must improvise, and I must say that I'm pretty damn good at it. What I like to do is browse all sorts of magazine and websites for ideas and inspiration, remember what I'm drawn to, and make a mental note (or write one out on paper). Then I shop for a lower cost version of what I already found and it usually comes together in such a fun, fabulous way. Even if I'm not buying and only admiring from afar-- I still love to shop. What can I say?

Here's a link to a site that gives you plenty of updated looks and shows you where to buy them. I promise you'll even have money leftover for a latte and lunch. :) Here's to fall shopping!
