MOMMAS UNDER $100… fall fashion for less

photo 2-2

Yup, that’s a fake million dollar bill there max, but you don’t need millions to look fabulous because there’s so much amazing fall fashion for under $100!

The weather outside is cooling down and the layers keep coming and price tags add up so finding fall fashion for less is crucial for looking great, keeping warm and staying on budget!  Winter clothes and accessories can get pricey – you need more of and they need to be thicker and cover more of you so naturally they’re going to cost more…  Boots are more expensive than sandals and coats have a heftier price tag than, well, not wearing one.  Great fall fashion for less is out there and while it is quite difficult to find a quality winter coat for under $100 the layers that go underneath are plentiful and fabulous.  Check out some of my favorite fall fashion for less and enjoy getting guiltlessly dressed this winter!

MOMMA WANTS… sparkly accessories

photo 1-2

These Miu Miu shoes are several years old now but still capture my heart…

Miu Miu shoes

Great sparkly shoes never go out of style – perfect for an evening out or pair them with black tights and a simple dress for a day look with extra kick!

sparkly accessories

Diamonds are a girls best friends – but anything that sparkles make me happy… Sometimes it really is just that simple.

Last week I talked about the clothes but this week is all about those holiday favorites – the sparkly accessories.  Metallic, embellished, beaded, shiny bags and shoes that complete your evening look and sometimes they can even work for day (of a bit of added drama).  When one thinks about sparkly accessories the mind goes to jewelry but these days accessory designers have turned your bags and shoes into a different kind of jewelry.  No, they may not be made of gold and diamonds but they sure are pretty and they sure do catch the light (in a larger less delicate way).  Check out some of my favorite sparkly accessories and add some bling to your look and get ready to shine!

These Christian Loubtouin leopard print pumps are oldies but goodies – they never go out of style and they always transform an outfit!

Last week I focused on my favorite clothing in this timeless trend but this week is all about the fabulous leopard print accessories you need to tweak your look for fall. Those bags and shoes that don’t have to match a color or event because they’re so fabulous they make your look!!  You can even pair your favorite leopard print accessories with other patterned clothing because as I’ve previously mentioned the clash is cool (and I’m not just talking about the band).  Whether patent or calf skin or just good old fashion leather (or faux)  these are the accessories you need to pop everything from your classic little black dress to your weekend jeans and a t-shirt uniform.  Leopard print accessories never go out of style – they always look effortlessly chic – and here are some of my latest favorites!

MOMMA LOVES… over the knee boots – super sexy style!

BIML9397

A great pair of over the knee boots (like these Alexander McQueens) are perfect for fall!

BIML9465

Navigating your little ones and their toys can be a bit challenging…

BIML9438

But there are flat options that are more practical and you can save the high heeled versions for date night…

The weather is still warm so it’s hard to believe that fall is around the corner but get ready because over the knee boots will keep you warm, sexy and in style when the cool weather hits!  These boots are not for the faint of heart, they are thigh high and incredibly confident.  Whether you go for a super high heel or a more conservative flat and whether you go for a boot that’s thigh high or just over the knee is clearly up to the individual, but regardless – these boots are hot hot hot!  The key to pulling off over the knee boots stylishly rather than Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman is all in how you pair and wear them.  Do NOT put them with a micro mini unless you are a pop star performing at the MTV Movie Awards.  The way to wear fall’s hot over the knee boots is to wear them over your favorite skinny jeans, leggings, jeggings or under a sexy yet sleek pencil skirt.  If you do wear them with a shorter skirt, make sure that the boots are just over the knee and the skirt hem is only an inch or 2 above that, wearing them with tights also helps to tone down the sex appeal and make it more high fashion.  Check out some of my favorite over the knee boots and get sexy yet stylish for fall!

Decisions decisions…. what are the best fall finds for under $100???

Summer is starting to cool off and it’s time to start looking for those great fall fashion finds for under $100.  The autumn winter months are certainly more expensive simply because the fabrics are thicker, richer and we need more layers – so getting great style without breaking the bank can be more challenging!  Well, now is certainly the best time to shop before the best bets are all sold out – so I wanted to bring you guys my fall fashion finds for less.  Everything from the greatest knits, pants, jackets and so on that cost under $100.  The time to shop is now, while the weather is still warm and people are not quite in the cold weather mind set, so check out my favorite fall fashion finds and get ready for next season’s chill in style!

MOMMA KNOWS… slides are hot right now

That’s right, I said it, slides are hot – super hot right now.  Slides are those super simple flat shoes that you basically just slide on – think the birkenstock and the many variations you are seeing everywhere.  While they may not be my personal style, they are HUGE and a major footwear trend right now.  As I cringe inside a little I know there are many many who are so excited to bring out their slides or getting ready to invest in one of the hot new reinvented versions of the old faithful.   You don’t have to be a hippie – this trend has transcended it’s affiliations of yore – they are now modern, fresh and can be seen on everyone from th hottest young bloggers and the coolest celebrities to your teenage next door neighbor and your mom..  Check out some of my favorite slides out there (that I’m not going to be wearing) but you just might! PS – I hear they’re remarkably comfortable.
