THE PERFECT HOLIDAY SHOE

Lovely ladies! You know how we posted about the absolutely gorgeous Valentino studded pumps here? We had such issues trying to find a shoe on the less expensive end to post about. But today we're looking at miss Sasha's blog, and we're thinking, 'hey! those look so similar to the Valentino pump!' But to our dismay they are sold out everywhere online. EXCEPT Amazon. Lovely ladies, if you want the perfect holiday shoe, the Valentino pump is it. But if you want the same look for a fraction of the cost, this shoe is the one.

BULKY SWEATER INSPIRATION

We have no idea where this image came from (dang it pinterest!), but we fell in love with the look. We will definitely try pairing our bulky sweaters with more beautiful summer/spring scarves. We love the combo, especially with the warmer colored bag. Very chic....

MICHAEL KORS PRE-FALL 2013

(Ok we know this is off the shoulder, but we couldn't resist)

We thought this was a pretty fun collection. The Madmen, 60's look seems to always have a place these days. And yes, can you believe we're already into pre-fall 2013?

WINTER STRIPES

Time to take our stripes into the colder weather. Although this was taken on a warmer day (man our december has been mild) we've been wearing our jackets with thicker sweaters underneath and have been staying totally warm. So take your summer stripes, pair with blazers and ankle booties and you're set! Blazer and jeans are Zara, striped sweater is Forever 21.

LEATHER AND FUR

Let's keep the fur going this week (hehe). Here's a look from our archives, and yet it is still very much on trend. By the way, we're having a hectic week over here so we apologize for the more random posts. We will hopefully be back to our normal selves by Monday. So until then, hope your chrsitmas decorating is going splendidly (ours is not...neither of us have done anything. We are Grinches this year....).

FUR COLLAR

We must warn you, as you saw yesterday with the Derek Lam looks, the fur collar is about to get out of hand on these pages. Melody may be a tiny bit obsessive as of late. We talked about the emergence of the fur collar and "snood" last year, and we're so happy to feature the idea more this year. Wondering where to get something like this? Try here or here. Put on any jacket or coat and you're rockin what MANY fashionistas are at the moment....

OH! And don't forget about the Modest Mara giveaway. Your chances of winning are pretty good, so be sure and enter. The winner will be decided Monday the 15th!
