Oh my gosh, most of us need snow boots if we don't already have them! I spotted these and just has to share them with you! Here are some fabulous looking boots for serious snow! This is the Sorel® Joan of Arctic™ boot! This lace-up snow boot has a faux fur snow cuff making the boot both very cool looking and functional at the same time. These have seam-sealed, waterproof construction so your feet won't get wet and they have a removable felt liner for warmth. There's also a deep herringbone pattern in the sole to grip the snow-so important for those of us, myself included, who tend to fall down a lot!

You can see these and other Sorel® boots at Zappos.com!

Fashion Design Women's Sock Trends Wearing Scrunchy Slouchy Socks 2011







What's hot...

wearing scrunchy slouchy socks!
Fashion Design Women's Sock Trends Wearing Scrunchy Slouchy Socks 2011 Pictures
Yes, the scrunchy, slouchy sock look is back! And, if you love socks you're in heaven because socks in general are hot! We've seen a lot of socks on the runway the past few seasons-from ankle socks to thigh-high socks and everything in between and the sock trend continues.
This look, from the Tory Burch Pre-Fall 2011 runway, shows this scrunchy sock style with sandals-probably the hottest way to wear scrunchy socks. I'm loving this sock style with these simple knit pants! Any pair of knee socks will work to create the scrunch-knee sock wearers know the scrunch happens naturally when gravity takes over and socks won't stay up!
I love socks so the continuing sock trend makes me very happy! Socks are warm and cozy for winter wear and scrunchy socks can work with all types of sandals to transition into spring!

Hair Accessory Trends Barrettes Headbands Clips & Sparkling Combs 2011







The latest looks for new Year's Eve hairstyles...

include fancy barrettes like this!

Hair Accessory Trends Barrettes Headbands Clips & Sparkling Combs 2011 Pictures
Hair accessories including barrettes, headbands, clips, and fancy combs are hot especially for dress-up occasions like New Year's Eve. The barrette pictured is from Anthropologie and is almost 4 inches long, so one or two of these would be stunning to create a simple pulled back style. Headbands and fancy combs, of course, would work in a similar way. This is something we can have fun with!

Yes, I'm drooling over this fur trimmed leather parka jacket! If I were a rich girl... I'd have a jacket just like it for sure! Pictured here wearing this to-die-for jacket is supermodel Elle Macpherson-this picture was taken of her last week while she was out shopping in Aspen, Colorado. And isn't she ski-chic with her black turtleneck, black jeans and fur trimmed boots! If I were a rich girl I'd be shopping in Aspen with the beautiful people too!

Women's Handbag Trends Boxy Square Satchel Handbags for 2011







What's hot for 2011...

boxy square satchel handbags!

Women's Handbag Trends Boxy Square Satchel Handbags for 2011 picture

The square satchel bag pictured here is an example of where handbag styles are headed in the coming year. In general, bags are becoming a bit smaller and more boxy than we've seen lately-the style move is away from the super slouchy bags we've been carrying. Bags for 2011 are more square and often utilize the flap for a closure. The satchel flap bag like the one pictured will be super hot with most designers creating their own particular version of this bag. Also hot will be the envelope clutch and the flatter, squarer tote. Bags in general are moving to a more tailored, cleaner classic look with lots of square corners. As far as color goes, a brown tanned tobacco caramel color leather is hot in bags. Leather is super hot in clothes and accessories for 2011 and a caramel color bag will go with just about any other color of leather you happen to be wearing.

Women's Shoes Flats Satin & Leather Mary Jane's Classic Ballet Flats 2011 Pictures

Just discovered these very pretty silk satin and leather ballet flats at Marais USA. Wouldn't these be perfect for New Year's! I love a heel but sometimes a flat is just more practical especially when dancing is on the agenda! These flats have a fabulous silk satin upper with Mary Jane straps and the prettiest little satin bows. The straps have an adjustable buckle which I love-in general straps are fabulous for keeping ballet flats firmly on the foot, and the Mary Jane straps give these ballet flats an extra feminine vibe. These come in blue, black and beige. I love the blue and black colors!

Fashion Design Colors Wearing Red & Black 2011







For the holidays...

wear red and black!

Fashion Design Colors Wearing Red & Black 2011 Pictures

I love red and black together-it's especially fabulous for the holidays when we're all looking to work a little red into our looks, although it certainly works in all seasons! In fact, red and black is a favorite of mine for summer-I wear red shorts with a black top for a striking look! I'm loving the three looks pictured here-the red outfit with the black shoes is lovely and would certainly work for the holidays. The red pants in the middle image are hot by themselves but even hotter contrasted against the black in the rest of her look. And the red coat worn with the black shoes and bag in the bottom image is a classic look especially for the holidays!

Fashion Design Jewelry Trends Wearing Chunky Floral Necklaces 2011







What's hot in jewelry...

these chunky floral necklaces!

Fashion Design Jewelry Trends Wearing Chunky Floral Necklaces 2011 Pictures

Isn't this chunky floral necklace pretty with this classic checkered blouse! Once again we see how opposite styles come together to complement each other, and, more importantly, how fabulous looks can be created by combining styles which we never thought would work together.
Getting back to the necklace, yes, this type of chunky floral necklace is very hot right now. Necklaces similar to this can be found any place jewelry is sold. I'm sure I've seen this style of necklace at Anthropologie so don't forget to check them out if you're looking for necklaces online.

Cosmetics Makeup Body Lotion Moisturizer Unscented Super Skin Care 2011







Cosmetic find for this week...

this unscented moisturizer body lotion!

Cosmetics Makeup Body Lotion Moisturizer Unscented Super Skin Care 2011 picture
If you're looking for a super hydrating daily body moisturizer lotion this could be what you're looking for! I've been using this lotion for a couple months and I absolutely love it! This lightweight lotion contains macadamia seed oil, olive oil and shea butter as well as antioxidants to protect the skin. I apply this every morning and it leaves my skin silky soft and moisturized for the entire day. This is truly a lightweight and non-greasy moisturizer-it's quickly absorbed by my skin leaving absolutely no greasy residue behind! It's also unscented which is fabulous-I don't like any other product competing with my fragrance! This lotion is so good that I've been using it as a moisturizer for my face and neck too. This product which is the unscented be somebody lotion was created as Philosophy's basic, everyday body care for overall skin health! You can find this lotion online and in stores where Philosophy is sold. I bought mine at QVC-you can also find it online at Philosophy or Sephora.

Women's Designer Handbags Tory Burch Straw Shoulder Tote Bag 2011







Today I'm loving...

this straw tote bag by Tory Burch!

I spotted this straw bag at Tory Burch online and just had to share it with you! Yes, I know it's December and we won't be needing a straw bag till May, but it's my experience that by May it will be gone off the shelf! And isn't this a beautiful bag! This is the Straw Small Crescent Tote by Tory Burch. I love the artsy feel of this bag-the black graphic strips on the natural color straw and the crescent shape. It's also a great size for all those summer needs-the reading material, the water bottle, and the rest. For those of us who like to wear black sandals this would be fabulous and it would coordinate with so many other colors too. Well, I've pretty much convinced myself that I really need this bag despite the fact that I have so many bags already!

Today I'm loving...

this messy long pixie haircut!


Hairstyle Trends Edgy Platinum Blond Short Hair Messy Long Crop Pixie Haircut 2010 2011 Pictures

Are you loving this edgy long pixie hairstyle too! Yes, you all know I love this type of short style. Here is the perfect alternative to the trendy super short pixie which most of us can't wear. And isn't this platinum blond hair fabulous! I love this super light color, but I won't be bleaching my hair any time soon-because as you probably already know, this takes many hours a month to keep up and I just don't have the patience. Anyway, getting back to the look itself, I'm loving it-the messy hair look is sooo cool! Pictured here with this fabulous hairdo is American model Britt Maren. This hairstyle and hair color are perfect on her.
