I always regret selling this fabulous and heavily-discounted fur trimmed poncho I used to have that looked straight out of a 70s fashion mag spread. Maybe it had lost its luster a few years ago, but as an interesting stand-alone part of my wardrobe, it deserved a place. I regret it even more today because it looks like…they’re baaa-ack!

I LOVE my rainboots. They are so practical for a walk with my little pug or a quick jaunt to the grocery store on a wet day. I decided, however, that practical doesn’t have to LOOK practical. So I searched high and low for the perfect pair of limited-edition-Jimmy-Choo-Hunter look-alikes and finally found them.

Every season, I hear the same gripe from either friends or those dragging their feet through the aisles of DSW or the shoe area at Nordstrom – I can’t find the perfect taupe heel! You know exactly what I’m talking about.

It seems to transcend seasons, to handle any occasion, and to be secretly chic in all its neutral glory. In essence, the perfect heel to pack for any trip, any time of the year! I hear ya! So, my taupe shoe radar went up and discovered these delicious options to meet any fashionable taste, budget, and style. From patents to suedes, open toes to wedges, you can never have too many taupe shoes in your wardrobe! Read the rest of this entry »
