#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 However, of course my opinion may be outdated or to conservative but what can I say I am a 26 year old that wants to be remembered for what I say not how much skin I show.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:

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!

#Like walking on a cloud

Shoes, shoes and more shoes. If I have an obsession it is definitely with shoes! I am pretty sure I only work to feed my shoe obsession. I always say that I am going to law school so I can one day afford all the shoes that my heart desires.
In my opinion, the worst thing that someone can do is wear a spectacular outfit and then ruin it with a horrible pair of shoes! Shoes make an outfit, trust me, it doesn't matter if you have an expensive designer outfit, suit, or dress, if you have poorly matched or old, ratty, unflattering shoes on, your outfit was worn in vain.
So ladies and MEN, yes men to, it is important to invest in a few timeless pairs of shoes. Don't get me wrong, I'd advocate buying all types of shoes but I feel like the basics is a good starting point.
Girls the colorful, sparkly or platform shoes are cute but DO NOT replace the classic shoe with them. A beautiful classic shoe DOES NOT make you look old or out of fashion. On the contrary, it will show sophistication and endless class. Trust me class is more valuable than momentary sexiness.
Men as well, you need at least one fabulous pair of dress shoes, you never know when someone important glances down and notices your shoes.

Your outfit and shoes are your first impression before you open your mouth. So if you tend to have diarrhea of the mouth, maybe you need to make sure that your outfit makes up for what your mouth will screw up for you, joking....but not really.

Looks are not everything, but caring about your appearance doesn't make you vain, it means you appreciate and respect yourself!

Now I know that shoes, classic shoes, can cost a fortune and I am currently saving for the loves of my life the Christian Louboutin Black Pumps. However, I do know how to be reasonable since I will have to save a years worth to buy those Christian Louboutins, so until I can afford those, these are perfect alternatives for women and for men.

A little twist to the classic pump, but still oh so sophisticated!

Stuart Weitzman (one of my favorite designers, pumps are so comfortable!)

Stuart Weitzman has such classy and clean cut pumps, I have these in brown and absolutely need these in nude and black. I have back problems and "try" to find heels that are classy and comfortable, and these feel like you are walking on a cloud. 


NOW FOR MEN: Be forewarned that I have an obsession with men shoes as well, especially Hugo Boss, they have the perfect dress shoe and his suits are amazing, but that's for another post.

BOSS Black
My advice for men's dress shoes, if you are on a budget, instead of going to Nordstrom, try Nordstrom Rack. They have the same shoes for a much more affordable price. The rack also makes sure to carry an abundance of Hugo Boss shoes for men, in case you were wondering what to get that special father in your life!

For the men that don't like the cap toe look I present the BOSS Mettor Apron Toe Derby.









I have been referred to as the "google of men fashion", any guy that needs advice on what to wear and how to dress their body type just tells me and within moments I have a long list of outfits that are perfect and within whatever price range they give me. I may love shopping for men more than women, so expect a few men fashion posts soon to come!
