Fall Fashion! Shoe post

I know I've been gone for a bit, but in my absence fall fashion has flooded in!!!

True to form, I've picked out a few must-have shoes for the fall fashionista...

These Gucci pixies zipper boots are hot, hot, hot! An excellent update on the classic black leather boot.

I'm not a fan of studs and spikes that are so huge right now. But these Giuseppe Zanotti peep-toe pumps add a bit of edge and hardware for shoe lovers like me.

The Dolce & Gabbana suede platform wedge bootie. Who knew that Herman Munster meets Kate Moss could be so fabulous?!

Finally, to fulfill your need for gold accents, these Christian Louboutin's are perfect.

And you know me...more where these came from. This is just Saks people!

Hutson, I love you already

The new line (by the same husband/wife of Obedient Sons) Hutson is making waves. This wool ruffled dress is part of their new collection and absolutely fabulous. I love ruffles as is. Add wool... what a perfect combination for fall!

Stella McCartney and CC love chunky

Most coveted piece for fall: Stella McCartney oversized chunky knit cape.

Even though it's barely reached 80 degrees here in Denver, this cool weather piece needs to be in my closet. Too bad it's already sold out on net-a-porter. Boo! I guess I have found my summer mission.

Vivienne Westwood plus a little something

So, I know I've become the dress and shoe bag blog. What can I say? I'm most inspired by great pieces, which I find to normally be accessories. But, I'm being short-sided. There are so many amazing pieces out there in the form of apparel. So, I'm going to make a great effort to try to start working in some more clothing.

Vivienne Westwood is a good place to start, don't you think?! The plaid, the draping, the criss-cross back. Love it!

This beautiful silk piece is amazing as well. Again, the draping got me. And I am a sucker for white this season. This piece is in her Gold Label collection. All stunning pieces...

And... I'm sorry! I couldn't help it!!! These new Alexander McQueen's are sick! Check out the detail on the zipper! And I am justifying this discretion with the fact that these booties would be amazing with at least the plaid Vivienne Westwood dress. And maybe the white silk, for those of you more daring...

Ohhhhhhh...look at the back detailing... I love shoes!!!

Nina Ricci, you little naughty

Just got my W magazine today with Bruce and Emma Willis in a crazy spread. As interesting as the newlyweds are, I couldn't take my eyes off these Nina Ricci booties. Out of control!

Oscar De la Renta Oragami Slingbacks

Oh, I love yellow. And these little lovelies make yellow proud. The details are excellent. Love, love, love.

Jimmy Choo Neon Mave Foldover Clutch

Hell yeah! I love this color!!! I'm not really excited about any other neon colors, but this green is awesome. It's the perfect accent color. And Jimmy Choo, even better.

The L.A.M.B. Lesley Feathered Sandal

Shopping in Scottsdale over Memorial Day, I actually saw these and nearly died. LAMB and feathers (two of my favorite things!), all in one fabulous d'Orsay heel. Perfection.

I love the taupe, but they also come in black.

Miu Miu Patent Wedge

Wedge is still the word. It's ok, you can gasp. I did.

New Valentino Bags

I can't even start to say something witty about this fab Valentino line because I'm drooling too much. Let the bags speak for themselves. Of course many of these come in different colors and textures, along with many, many more styles. Check out the whole line at Neiman's. These are just the ones I couldn't live without.

Histoire Patent Tote

Glamorous Tote

Noeud d'Amore Clutch

Volants Ruffled Clutch

Wedge is the Word

This is the Chloe Patent Buckle Wedge.

Yeah, I'd wear these, I mean if I had no other options...

Clutch Enough to Stand Alone

This Christian Louboutin Satin Petal Clutch is not only adorable (and textured to the max! :) but check out the clasp...
...two sky high stilettos, of course! I'm in love!!!

Clutch Heaven

Michael Kors

So, I set out onto Net-A-Porter to find this MK zipper clutch (which they only have in white...they are out there in tons of colors. This red and black number is available at Neiman's). In my search, I stumbled upon a few others that I had to share. But I must gush before we move on; I love this zipper clutch! Maybe I just love zippers at the moment. And, I also love anything that is offered in multiple colors. Hence the following orange and lime Bottega Veneta woven clutches. I couldn't resist them both!

Bottega Veneta

Not only does this lime make my eyes so freaking happy, but the woven texture is sweet!

Marni

Speaking of making my eyes happy, I could look at this acidy purple all day. Even more, that rich color is on leather, not satin. And the clasp is adorable!

Raberto Cavalli

We'll finish with the masterpiece. The box clutch is the queen of clutches if you ask me. And leopard- well, you know how I feel about that.

Louboutin Fall Line

O.M.G.!

(this is me squealing)

Easter Fab

To fashionistas, Easter is more than a religious holiday. Easter means spring fashion, brunching, and the premier showing of fabulous new pieces.

Frugal Fashionistas shop at Anthro

Anthropologie has a great selection of spring dresses right now. The SoHo feel without the SoHo prices.

How effing cute is this!?!? Love it!

Bring on the Sun

So, if you live in Denver, you are most likely snowed in your house right now...of course following a two-hour-inching-along-drive home. Yes, it's a late spring blizzard here in Colorado. Most of the state is experiencing white out conditions at the moment. The good news is, it's supposed to be sunny and 50 degrees on Saturday. Ah, Colorado.

In honor of the sunny days ahead, or perhaps in defiance of the snow, let's check out fabulous spring '09 sunglasses. I'm recently obsessed with designer sunglasses. Here are a few I'd gladly take home:

The Marcella by my boyfriend Tom Ford

These little naughties by Roger Vivier

The Jackie O by Nina Ricci

Oh yes, they come in six different colors...including GREEN!
