I am in love with th new Nine West Vintage America collection – so much that I wanted to learn more about all things trend, styles, and Nine West. So, I had a chat with Fred Allard, their creative director – and I learned so much that I just needed to share here!

This fall, handbags are going to be all about the sparkle and shine. From glossy patent leather to dazzling sequins, look for bags and other accessories with lots of glitz. This Gucci shoulder bag features a black and multicolored patent leather than reminds you of an oil slick.

Now is he cute or what?? It seems that the Trick or Treaters are getting younger every year! This costume fits a 12 to 18 month old baby.
I know that my two were that age once, but it was a LONG time ago. I do remember however, the year Jamie came up with the idea of going out as a Star Rock. He came close lol… He wanted to be a rock star. Took us a few minutes to figure that one out. I think he was about five! He went out as a little Mick Jagger, scarf and all!

I guess it’s nearly time to pack away the flip flops and pull on something just a wee bit warmer for the coming months. I’m picking these boots by Bearpaw.

The boot shaft and insole are lined with luxuriously soft sheepskin for added cushioning and all-day comfort. The top of the boot can be folded down to expose some of the lining, creating a fashionable accent. The thick rubber outsole offers a rugged tread ideal …read more

I’ve been moaning a LOT about the arrival of the cooler weather and as I speak, the wind is being kind of a nuisance. I guess I can blame it on Hurricane Ike and we are way up here in Canada. He certainly wanted to not forget about us! Such a sweetheart. But the cooler weather has me looking at some gorgeous fall fashion and I’m liking this scarf. It’s gorgeous with purple, but would look even better with a charcoal coat don’t you think?? It’s by DKYN just in case you want more details.

My daughter and I was just talking about this line last night and that had me checking out what Coach has to offer for the fall. I think that I found the perfect bag, but then I don’t have any trouble finding things that I like lol… Send me out shopping and you can pretty much guarantee that I will come home with at least one thing that I just have to have. With this particular bag, I needed lots of pockets, somewhere to clip my keys and it obviously has to look good. This patchwork bag meets everything on my list! There …read more
