Haute Bargain

For reasons unknown to me I'm a bit apprehensive when it comes to celebrity fashion lines. Perhaps it's because many Hollywood types seize opportunities to enter the industry based on their fame, but lack a true passion for the craft. There are a few that have proven me wrong and have been on my radar; one being Jessica Simpson. Not only are her designs haute, they are also affordable. The Jonas boot above retails for $149.00 and can be found at http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com/

Foldover Fad

For every season there are obviously new trends, but there are few fads that I obsess over. Well, that day has come, it's official, there will be many restless nights until I get a pair of fold over boots. Many boot styles have carried over from last season with slight variations, but the fold over boot is one of the hautest styles, bringing a fresh look into the fall 09' season.
