FashionFALL wishlist: A camel-colored Coat + Ankle Boots

Are you ready for Fall?

If you are going to add one and only one new addition to your fall wardrobe, may I suggests that you consider the over the knee slim boots. Paired with a simple mini or a tailored babydoll coat, over the knee boots create a killer silhouette. For the fall 2015 season designers like Versace, Dior, and Alberta Ferretti  have re-tuned this old favorite by making them slimmer and way way! taller.

FIND OF THE DAY: Everyone is wearing a Bertie, are you?

I continue with my quest for the perfect booties. I do not like them too chunky, too ornate, too high up the ankle: you got it I am picky. I happened to see these Bertie IV by Senso and was intrigued. And apparently I am not the only one. A quick look around and it seems that if you are anybody who is anybody in fashion-blogging land that is, you have been spotted in theses puppies:

Top 10 Most Wallet-Friendly Fashion Trends for Fall 2015

Although in Los Angeles it does not feel as if fall is just around the corner, that trivial fact does not stop fashionistas of all ages and creed from getting busy with putting up their must-haves lists for the upcoming fall/winter season. And yes! guilty as charged. Doing my own list I realized that this season some of my favorite trends are quite wallet-friendly. Now, I don't mean that $150 will get you a Versace look, what I mean is that you can recreate a strait-from-the-catwalks trend to the T with similar products (not necessarily bearing a powerhouse designer label) and use the items for many more years to come. After all there is truly nothing new in fashion: at its core it a proof of the viability of dialectical materialism less the political rhetoric but add a heavy doze gorgeousness. Nooo! enough of this ... As promised in the title -- here are my top 10 budget-friendly-straight-from-the-runaways trends for Fall/Winter 2015 that are sure to turn heads:

1. Way, way over the knee boots

I looked in my closet this morning and realized that I have to get busy transitioning for fall. Grrr.! Two things I find extremely depressing: the end of summer (OK, we are not there yet but those thoughts are starting to steer up) and evaluating my closet. The conversion of both this morning was a bad start to the day but I turned it around by thinking about my favorite fall trend: Yellow makeup details!
