#pretty woman, do OR don't?

Pretty woman walking down the street in her knee high boots and crazy 90's hair.


Although that movie is probably one of my favorite movies of all time, I wouldn't say that I would necessarily take fashion advice from it. Granted her floppy hats and conservative outfit at the polo game and the infamous red dress for the opera are worthy of repeating the question is whether the knee highs are hookerish or worth investing in? If the answer is worth investing, then you have to ask your self, what should I wear them with, a skirt, shorts, pants? In my personal opinion knees highs should not come back. In order to get all the bang for your buck for a boot like that you have to showcase it when you wear them. Therefore wearing them under something long or over pants just doesn't give it the affect it demands. So most girls opt for wearing the knee high boots with a short skirt or shorts. So my point is that you have no choice but to wear a skimpy little skirt with the boots, which gives you a scandalous look. Call me old fashion but I like the more timeless clean looks, I don't think women need to showcase so much skin to get attention. Wit and charm should be your focal point not your mini skirt and bare legs. I am saying this becuase knee highs are especially worn during the colder months during the day. Evening outfits allow for a bit more skin however day outfits are the more elegant and professional. That is why you don't see girls walking out in the day time in a club mini dress because there is a time and place for that much skin and sexiness and it is not in the day while in the office. However, of course my opinion may be outdated or to conservative but what can I say I am a 26 year old that wants to be remembered for what I say not how much skin I show. However this is my opinion and you know I've seen some bloggers pull of the knee highs decently so without further ranting I will provide some potential knee highs if you are in the market.

 I love Stuart Weitzman, his shoes are well made and decently comfortable regardless of heel size: If you are willing to make the investment here are some knee highs that you can pre-order:













A bit more affordable are these two Zara boots, the first is a high heel while the second is a low square heel made for everyday walking:

#2











I have to admit that I love Boutique 9 shoes and the little details: here are probably my favorite knee-highs Ive seen yet:













I hope that everyone is having a wonderful beginning of Fall, I am excited to finally enjoy some fall festivities this weekend and I will definitely be back with info on what I wore and other fall harvest inspired attire! Thanks for reading!

#kick your booties

Yesterday was officially the first day of FALL, my favorite season. The pumpkin spice lattes, the crisp air, the changing colors, the brown tones, and soft light sweaters, what's not to love about it?
I was looking forward to the fall weather, there is nothing better than waking up to the sound of rain fall and being snuggled up in bed with a good book.
Although I don't get that many chances to stay in bed and read books that are not related to my school studies, I still make sure that one day a semester I take a whole day off, go to a cafe, drink a pumpkin spice latte and devour a book. I refer to it as my mental vacation, although I eventually pay for the day off, it was all worth it in the end!
[Side note, I am currently reading David Mitchell's "The Back Story", I like british comedy and this is an easy read that will for sure make you giggle]

One of my favorite things about fall are the shoes ( I love shoes!!), however I am extremely picky and on a budget. It takes me forever to find the perfect bootie or boot but when I do its love at first sight!

So I am already starting my new season bootie search (and I don't mean the body part).

Since I live in California, the cool weather doesn't actually start up until late Oct. to Nov. which gives me a little time to get my new wardrobe in order. Here are some of my booties options:

I saw these lovelies on See Jane, a blogger I love to follow and recommend others check out her blog!
Seychelles Scoundrel Black Booties

These cut out booties would be perfect for California's Fall weather and who doesn't love the beautiful gold tones!







Similar Style as the Seychelles but a bit more affordable: these Aldo Arzts












Kate Spade never disappoints, however I can't say my wallet is very fond of her :)












It was love at first sight with these Indigo by Clarks, the slight heel and the rustic brown color, I am smitten!












Oh how I'd love these Sigerson Morrison beauties!












The search for the perfect bootie gives me a rush and I am excited to start my journey into this new season!
I wish everyone a wonderful second day of Autumn!
