Get Leggy in Lace!

If you’re a fan of leggings and tights, the latest twist on these legwear staples is that they’re popping up everywhere in lace! This season designers have taken a cue from the lace-crazy 80s a la Madonna style.

This retro, sexy yet sweet look is perfect for those who like to have a little fun with fashion. The key is to wear them with something simple like a chic LBD or stylish mini to guarantee that your gams get all the attention!

Fall Flat into Style!

I’ve said it many times before, fall is my favorite season. The crisp air allows me to wear my absolute favorite footwear – boots! I’ve always been a fan of flat boots, but now that I’m walking for two, it makes sense that I choose a more practical boot that will be comfortable without compromising style.

Flat boots are perfect for pounding the pavement while wearing a pair of tucked-in skinny pants or jeans. If the tucked-in jean style isn’t for you, wearing flats with a turtleneck dress or knee-length skirt can also work, but I prefer to wear them with jeans.

From studded suede to classic black leather, you shouldn’t have a problem finding a pair that suits your taste this fall season.

Hot New Clothing Line: RACHEL Rachel Roy

Last night I had the pleasure of taking an exclusive sneak peek at fellow BG Rachel Roy’s new and more affordable line, RACHEL Rachel Roy at a pop-up store in Soho. I was excited to take a look at this line because I’ve always admired her style, but the prices for her high-end pieces never aligned with my budget – until now.

This super chic line consists of everything that a fashionable BG would love. From sexy, stylish dress to big comfy cardigans – RACHEL Rachel Roy has it all. I knew that I’d like the clothes, but I had no idea that I would fall in love with her accessories too! Her delicate, yet bold pieces of jewelry are simply stunning. You can tell that she pays close attention to every detail, which is exemplified throughout her entire line.

There were so many pieces that I wanted, but had to hold off from buying until next time. Trust me, once you see her entire collection you will not leave empty-handed.

Fun, Fashion Rings for Fall!

For the past couple of seasons, when it comes to jewelry it’s been all about statement pieces. Although I am a huge fan of big, bold necklaces, sometimes you have to bring attention to other areas – why not let your fingers get all the attention? This upcoming fall, adorn your digits with fashionable rings that are big on style, but won’t break the bank.

Are you a fan of fashion rings? Will you wear them this fall?

Leave your boring black bags behind and stand out in style with a colorful, chic bag that will add a bright spot to the dreaded task of packing!

Cool Cardigans for Now & Later!

A few weeks ago I bought a long cardigan from Zara for only $15 and it’s already become one of my wardrobe staples. Even though it’s still warm in most places, it’s never too hot to pick up a long cardigan.

Whether it comes with buttons, snaps or similar to a wrap, long cardigans can take you from frigid (thanks to the A/C) office days in the summer to chilly nights in the fall and winter. Long cardigans can be worn over light-weight dresses cinched with a belt or paired with jeans and a tank, no matter what they are paired with, they’re perfect for all seasons!
