If it’s good enough for Kate Moss…

…and countless other celebrities and royalty like the late Princess Diana and the Queen of England… it’s good enough for me! Today it’s raining (again) in the Northeast and the only appropriate shoes for this kind of weather are Hunter Boots! Every woman needs to own a pair. They are not only cute but practical for cold and damp weather. Truly a classic! They come in all kinds of fun colors and you can jazz them up (and stay warm) by adding Hunter sock liners. They are almost NEVER on sale, but I found them at ShopBop for 20% off with the code INTHEFAMILY20. Which means you can now buy them for $100! Lots of colors and sizes available. Would make great Christmas presents too. Free shipping and returns as always!

Ms. Tory Burch you usually have such original classic styles, indeed it’s one of the reasons for your stratospheric success. But these two “new” bags of yours are just a little too “designer insprired” for my taste. No one else does Main Line preppy meets Soho Boho like you do. Leave the copycat styles to Steve Madden Oryany Big Buddha low brow designers and stick to what you do best!

I’ve been lusting after this ‘Enchanted Lotus’ pendant and ring from DeBeers for awhile. But almost $9000 on something that looks like costume jewelry?! No thank you! What a surprise to come across Swarovski’s Hortense pendant and ring. The design is very similar, in fact I actually like them much better! And they are only $115! Now that’s more like it!

DeBeers Lotus Pendant – $6500 and Lotus Ring – $2200

Hortense Pendant - $115 – Swarovski

Hortense Ring - $115 – Swarovski

This is not your mother’s mink!

One of the things I look forward to the MOST in the fall is that I get to start wearing all of my boots. I LOVE boots! They just make you feel fabulous and confident even when you are not feeling the best (ahem, fat days!). I am scared to even count how many boots I own, but more is more, right?! I think every woman needs to have the following in her boot wardrobe:

1.) Uggs – Yes they are ugly, but-oh-so functional and comfortable. I even have the two boys in my life (my son and fiance) converted to wearing Uggs! (They would kill me if they knew I posted that). Must have for the ladies: tall Uggs (for skinny jeans and leggings), short Uggs (for under pants) and slippers (to wear around the house)!

2.) Riding boots – These are your every day work horse boots. They are flat and comfy so you can wear them all day. But their slim fit makes your legs look skinny and sexy!

3.) Rain Boots – Hunters. Enough said.

4.) Dress Boots - Must be knee high or over the knee, fitted and high heeled. Parfay for skinny jeans or with a sweater dress. I unfortch have crazy skinny calves (like 12″) and ankles (6.5″) so the only dressy boots that don’t look baggy and ridic on me are the stretchy ones or super high end (Jimmy Choos, Loubies).

5.) Booties – High heeled or wedge. Perfect for wearing under pants or jeans and even with leggings.

Make a statement!

There is nothing more fabulous than a statement necklace on a plain shirt! Really you can have on a t shirt and jeans, but throw on a statement necklace and you become one of those women who we hate love that always looks amazing but says “oh I just threw this on”. All of these are from Couture Candy and are 20% off with the code LOVETOSHOP. This weekend only!

It has been a looong time since I saw a bag that I actually wanted to purchase. Sure I cyber browse as much as the next girl, but for me to actually follow through and buy…let’s just say it’s been awhile! Until now. It was one of those when you know, you know moments. Seriously I am in LOVE, and it’s not even Gucci! From Diane Von Frustenberg this Harper evening clutch is nothing other than pure perfection. It has everything I want in a small bag. At 5″x9″x1″ it’s the perfect size for a night out on the town. And with a 9.5″ shoulder strap – just right for hanging on your shoulder or on the back of your chair. (I DESPISE cross body straps on evening bags!) And the looks…oh so gorgeous….with it’s smooth metal plate, chain and leather strap, luxe tassel and sumptious soft buttery leather. Did I mention I was in lust love? Apparently I am not the only one because it’s already sold out on ShopBop. $450 at Neiman Marcus.

The perfect summer sandal!

I think we women like shoes because our feet can look good even if we are having a ‘bad hair’ or ‘fat day’. Here is a faboo sandal for just those days when you would rather people look at your feet and not the rest of you. These are by Vince Camuto. Named the ‘Martinique’ sandal and they are made from white leather embellished with rhinestones. Just the right amount of bling to look luxe without being over the top. I am definitely buying these for myself – really the perfect sandal to dress up a boring outfit or to get me through a bad day! $97.95 at Nordstrom.
