Nancy Shevell, Paul McCartney’s girlfriend, wears the long vest perfectly for Summer. She has it paired with a sleeveless tee, and a pair of jeans. She makes it look incredibly chic, unplanned, and fabulous. This is exactly the look you should try to achieve. The point of street-chic style is to NOT look like you tried too hard. A flawless look for traipsing around a city like New York or London. I love it.

Few things get me as excited as Fall boots. It is, by far, my favorite purchase of the year. I save up all Summer to be able to get the absolute ‘best’ pair. By “best”, I mean my favorite for the season.
I love the way the leather smells, I love the way they look with denim, and sometimes I just love to admire them in my closet. If you get the right pair of boots, they become the focus. The ‘right’ pair of boots makes even the simplest outfit (jeans and a tee) look phenomenal. That alone is worth a Summer’s worth of savings!
I’m no where near making my decision on which boot I will purchase. I’m a bit conflicted at the moment. While I always love a tall brown boot, I’m also loving the edgy black boot of the season. What’s a girl to do? What boot are you leaning toward?

As part of The Style Coalition, I was thrilled to take part in our next video campaign. The video will be out in a couple of weeks, but in the meantime I wanted to show you some of our before & after photos from the day.
Thirteen of the most fabulous fashion bloggers came together at DEX in New York City. We each had our make-up done by either John Henry or Altjana Banja. Hair creation was by Scott Wasserman and Naomi Porto. DEX was so accommodating to us, it was such a fun night. Now… meet some of the girls.
I pulled out all the stops for the evening. Chanel, Chanel, and more Chanel!
from Style Bakery. She wore Michael Kors for her final look – great choice!
from My It Things. Yuli pulled together her final look wearing pieces from several designers. Top by Tory Burch, skirt by Rebbecca Taylor, and Pucci shoes.
from Gala Darling. Check out her incredible head piece..Love It!!
from She Finds. She’s hot in red!
from Second City Style. Lauren is over 5 months pregnant & looks beautiful in a Rosie Pope Gown.
This is only a handful of the girls. You’ll get to see all 13 in the video. Special Thanks to Yuli Ziv & Mike Pratt (my fabulous husband) for pulling this all together.

The Owl is such a mysterious creature. It has beautiful feathers, bold eyes, and a knowing stare. We imagine the owl perched on a tree watching, seeing all that happens in the night.
The Owl happens to be one of the seasons hottest trends. You can spend anywhere from $4000 dollars on a Judith Leiber Clutch to $10 dollars on a pretty pin. It’s as easy as popping on a pendent with whatever you’re wearing. This trend will work itself right into Fall. So, we think it’s a smart one to embrace.

The problem is … when the “honeymoon” is over it can get ugly. Now there is a service where you can sell some of that expensive jewelry he gave you. Let’s face it, you probably won’t wear it again.

Every Monday, I feel like I’ve been hit by a mac truck. It’s hard to get out of bed, one cup of coffee is never enough, the kids are fighting, the dogs are barking, and inevidably I’m out of milk. Monday schedules are always crazy, and I count the hours until bed. I usually try to pick an outfit that doesn’t require a lot of fussing throughout the day. I need it to keep it’s shape, and look as good at 7 as it did at 10.
