To SJP: A Woman of Many Shoes

Every female owes some sense of their fashion sense to Sarah Jessica Parker's reign as Carrie Bradshaw. After all, her valuable lessons included: showing us that running in heels isn't always chic and sometimes you face plant in Dior, Manolo Blahnik Mary Jane's are not an urban shoe myth, and of course, that you should definitely start own shoe registry to celebrate your single hood/fabulousness. From playing Carrie through the years and even holding her own as a fashion icon, it only makes sense to pay tribute to SJP's amazing shoe moments as she launches her own personal line at Nordstrom.

Ah the loubs! The red sole shoes are the ultimate designer shoe goal. And the combination of those sultry stilettos with the SATC iconic newspaper Dior dress made for a dreamy NYC moment.

SJP had multiple great ensembles with these vibrant Nicholas Kirkwood shoes. Only an aqua shade like that could make a major pop of color turn a sophisticated look into a trendy one. 

Another gorg Nicholas Kirkwood pairing! This time, SJP kept it classic in shimmery gold with these gladiator high heels. 

With an arch and pump that high, those straps provided style and safety on the cobblestone streets. SJP, always a role model when debating the height of a shoe. 

Last but definitely not least, Sarah Jessica's blue satin Manolo Blahniks from the Sex and the City movie. The heels symbolize everything one could ever want - an enormous walk in closet. Or in Carrie's case, a committed relationship but, priorities.

Fabulous Fall Must Haves

With fall right around the corner, the most stylish fashion events are also getting very close! Before fashion shows start up, here are some items I'm obsessed with this fall and others that I'm dying to have in my closet.

Trendy Trench Coat

This year, I'm aiming for a more glamorous fall/end of winter coat. Specifically one like Emma Watson's Burberry jackets! As fabulous as the studded coat is with its endless nightwear potential, I'd personally opt for the leather sleeve one. I've already started incorporating leather sleeve jackets into my wardrobe (see leather and lighter jacket from Urban Outfitters) and I think I'm going to stay faithful to this style!

Ankle Boots

Why is it so difficult to find the perfect pair of ankle boots? I'm still searching for casual ankle boots with a little heel, but not high enough to slow me down while walking in the city. However, the heel isn't the tricky part with the ankle boots hunt. The real problem is the cutoff. Ankle boots might be small footwear with a short length but they should still be spacious enough so that jeans or leggings look neatly tucked into the shoe, not bunched. Right now, my heart is set on these cognac ankle boots from Aldo!

Cheetah,  Lots of Cheetah

I've obviously been a very big fan of the trends involving color blocking and color popping so it's no shocker that I love patterns. Prints are always playful and fun, whether it's a classic polka dot pattern on black and white or a more sassy standout, like cheetah print. Up above is just a little glimpse of the cheetah shirts I've got lined up for the fall. From gray jeans during the day to black leggings at night, the animal print leaves no clothing match making limitations. And of course, I had to purchase some print worthy wedges for the nighttime!

Fall Purse

What outfit is complete without the perfect handbag? As someone who's been obsessing over purses since she was 6 years old, I truly believe handbags are a solid investment. And until I can make that big leap of investing in a Birkin, my faux Park Ave styled bag will do. The cream and black color bag from Aldo is perfect for the fall and winter. It's also has enough space to fit all my necessities. With FNO on the first week of September, you can bet that a big handbag like this will be your big advantage.
