Boot Camp

Since the snow and cold weather are slowly but surely rolling in, having a pair of fly boots are a must. Here a a few of my favorites.....

Ankle Boots

Paul & Joe grey boot(shopbop.com, $718), BCBGirls black boot (nordstrom.com, $129.95), Moschino green boot (nordstrom.com, $495)

Style note: Ankle boots look best with skinny jeans or pencil skirts. You want to avoid wearing these with long pants since that will cover the detailing of the boot. Be warned....ankle boots are not for the faint at heart! The Paul & Joe boots are on my "to buy" list. Those are the flyest booties I've seen in a LONG time!

Flat Boots

Frye black leather boot (shopbop.com, $300), Gucci shearling and seude (neimanmarcus.com, $650), Steve Madden suede (nordstrom.com, $169.95)

Style Note: Tuck a pair of skinny jeans inside these boots and off you go. I'm all about details, and the black Frye boots are to do for...another must have in my book.

Slouch Boots

Dior brown suede (neimanmarcus.com, $1135), Bronx Shoes brown leather (zappos.com, $178.95)

Style Note: Slouch boots also work well with skinny jeans, I would also wear them with a mid-length skirt.

The Good Look

sweater dress (dvf.com, $415), Dior suede boot (neimanmarcus.com, $1135)

Philip Lim dress (bigdropnyc.com, $368), Saddlelite jeans (shopjake.com, $115), Paul&Joe suede boot (shopbop.com, $718)

Well folks, that's all for this post....stay tuned for more winter fab finds.

Being that I'm an avid reader of style blogs, I felt the need to establish a blog on style from my point of view. With that said, I've decided to share my gift of style with you...so Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanza, Happy Birthday, and Happy Day. Enjoy!

Winter Staples....
Who says that you can't be fly and warm at the same time. Here are my selections/suggestions of winter coats for the tight, moderate, and I don't give a damn, I'm ballin budgets.

Moderate Buys

From left to right: white coat (shopbop.com,$440), black crop jacket(girlshop.com, $372), tan cape/hooded coat (shopbop.com, $666)

BALLIIIIIN!

From left to right: leather bomber with fur(andrewmarc.com, $995), burberry(neimanmarcus.com, $1495), black leather/shearling bomber (net-a-porter.com, $1890)

Budget Buy, but fly nonetheless!

target.com, $49.99

LOOK OF THE DAY

All from shopbop.com: Mara Hoffman coat $666, James Perse Tee $74, Loeffler Randall boot $675

Style Notes: This winter go for belted coats that accentuate the waist and give you a more tailored/clean look than just an old frumpy winter coat. I absolutely love the tan hooded coat above my Mara Hoffman from shopbop.com. Since the porportin of this coat is soo large, pair it with a skinny jean or legging and a flat boot and the result......OH SO FLY!

Busted and Disgusted!

Today's busted and disgusted (thanks Tiff for the inspiration).....

Okay, from first look the outfit looks cute but my eyes were decieving me. Where the hell is she going in those wrestling shoes, a WWF Smackdown! 8 words for you Shar....."Can you smell what the rock is cooking?" I absolutely DESPISE those shoes....ooh ooh my eyes hurt.

Is that mongoose on her neck still alive!?!

Now Daddy Mike's outfit is together, but I just can't get past that damn wig that's wearing HIM. Mike I know a fabulous hair stylist out of ATL that can make your weave just as pretty as you are ;). Oh how I amuse myself!

Moderate Budgets

A Good Look
