I’ve never been skiing or snowboarding but if I did, I’d have the Ash “Extreme” Ski Booties right by my side. Obviously, they aren’t ideal for actually skiing in but they sure would look fabulous walking around in at some ski resort. They’re edgy, fabulous and would make the cold weather look extra stylish.

For some odd reason, when I saw these booties the “Terminator” instantly came to my mind. I don’t think of the snow when I see these shoes, I think of war, combat and some badass chick with a gun wearing them. Perhaps it’s because of all the hardware, straps, and studs that are featured on them.

These booties would look amazing with a pair of black skinny jeans or leggings. They’re definitely the type of show that would catch people’s eye when you’re walking down the street or in a store with them. Let’s face it, most boots are boring and these brings some fun and sass to them that would make everyone want them!

I love these babies and I know I want them for the upcoming cold weather! Gorgeous and fierce, my kind of style!

Soon it will start getting cold for some parts of the world, and nothing is better than being fashionably prepared. Living in Florida, I don’t get the cool air very often but if I’m going away I stock up on fashionable cold weather essentials.

I remember before a trip to New York one year, my Mother urged me to purchase earmuffs and I refused. To me, they looked so tacky looking and I wanted to look as stylish as possible especially in a city like New York. Little did I know, it would be absolutely freezing in New York and the coldest part of my body was in fact my ears! I can remember like it was yesterday being near Chinatown and I couldn’t feel my ears. Luckily, there was a vendor selling earmuffs and I bought a cheap pair immediately. I vowed that the next time I was to be in New York in the freezing cold, I’d buy a stylish pair of earmuffs and not be so stubborn!

The Diane von Furstenberg “Lothbury” Earmuffs are my ideal pair. Most of my cold weather clothes are all black and white, so these would match perfectly with my wardrobe! Plus, maybe you wouldn’t be able to see the earmuff too much since my hair is really dark anyway! Gorgeous pair, and not too tacky! I like them!

You can purchase the Diane von Furstenberg “Lothbury” Earmuffs at Shop Bop for $98.

I’m not too fond of jewelry but when I find a piece that is totally different than anything out there I want it. Most people love diamonds and gold, but I love jewelry that makes a statement and is very unique. It doesn’t have to cost thousands and if it’s fashionable I’ll most likely be a fan.

The Low Luv x Erin Wasson “Bone” Hand Bracelet is definitely a piece I would buy in a heartbeat! For one thing, it’s gorgeous and it kind of looks like it was Egyptian or Roman inspired. It’s not everyday that you see someone wearing a piece of jewelry that not only is a bracelet but also connects to be a ring too!

The fact that the bracelet features a bone is a little odd. I think it could of done without it, but bone or not I’m loving it! Great piece to own especially with Halloween just around the corner!

You can purchase the Low Luv x Erin Wasson “Bone” Hand Bracelet at Shop Bop for $125.

Nothing makes an outfit more complete than a stunning piece of jewelry! When most people think of statement jewelry though, they think of a chunky necklace or a dazzling pair of earrings. But sometimes a substantial bracelet can make just as big a statement! Plus I happen to have a thing for bracelets, so that is why I am feeling so drawn to the one you see pictured here. Meet the Iosselliani Shaded Fringe Agate Bracelet!

I think what grabbed my attention most was that beautiful green agate! I just love semi-precious stones! However, I was also attracted to the uniqueness of this piece. The agate is accented with a horseshoe of blue Swarovski crystals and three-tone snake chain fringe at one side. The piece feels very Native American-inspired and a little boho-chic. The only downside is the price tag. It is a little steep for what most people would consider costume jewelry. If you’ve got the cash though, this is one piece that will definitely catch the eyes of everyone around you!

One of my all time favorite shoe designers is Giuseppe Zanotti. Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are full of class, elegance and sophistication. Christian Louboutin is number one favorite shoe designer but Zanotti comes in at a close second. I consider his shoes to be dress up shoes. By that I don’t mean they are evening shoes but they instantly make any pain outfit look fabulous. You can be wearing a pair of jeans and a short, add some Giuseppe Zanotti shoes and your outfit just went from blah to fabulous.

The Giuseppe Zanotti “Suede” Platform Pumps are simple but yet so beautiful. There are two features that caught my eye with this shoe: the heel and the ankle strap. I have an appreciation for any shoe that’s almost six inches. I mean heck that’s a whole lot of height added to a short person like me. The ankle strap just make a typically plain shoe look gorgeous. We don’t see many heels that have ankle strap these days, and when I spot one I instantly want it! This is definitely a gorgeous shoe to add to any growing collection!

You can purchase the Giuseppe Zanotti “Suede” Platform Pumps at Shop Bop for $650. Pricey but oh so worth it.

When cool weather starts to emerge I instantly get excited. Not only does cooler weather mean better hair and makeup days, but it also means I can start wearing really cute boots! I wear boots pretty much all year long, but when it’s colder I wear them non-stop! I also tend to buy more and more boots, which kind of breaks my account! The things us women do to look fashionable but there’s nothing I love more than a hot pair of skinny jeans and gorgeous boots to pair them up with.

When I saw the L.A.M.B. “Norine” Lace Up Booties I screamed! They are so fabulous and edgy and would look amazing with a great pair of leggings or skinny jeans. They aren’t really practical for the cold weather but I’d say they would be amazing for any temperature 60 degrees and above. They would be the center of attention no matter what outfit you wear! They’re definitely the hottest pair of booties I’ve seen in a while! A+!

I love anything that screams vintage and old fashion. Those are times we can’t bring back but they were also times that were full of fashion. So why not enjoy fashion from our past today? I always try to mix in some vintage fashion with some modern day fashion. I have a huge appreciation for our past and I like to show it in my style as much as possible.

The Elizabeth and James “Chrystie” Glasses are a beautiful example of bringing something from our past to life. They are definitely vintage inspired and I love how they aren’t prescription! They are purely for style, so no need to go to the eye doctor to be able to wear these beauties.

I could envision these looking amazing with a pencil skirt and a blouse. I wouldn’t sport these at night but with the right outfit it can look stylish with an old school glare.

You can purchase the Elizabeth and James “Chrystie” Glasses at Shop Bop for $215.

Anything that is adorned with crystals maybe be on the expensive side, but boy do I love crystals. Crystals make everything more fun and prettier. I’ve never been one for jewelry, unless it’s really unique, but I’ve always loved crystals. Whether crystals are on clothes, accessories or shoes I love it all.

When I saw the Reem Acra Wide “Crystal” Headband/Belt I was instantly in love. It’s something I would buy in a heartbeat if it was a little more affordable. It’s so gorgeous and the fact that you can wear it as a headband or belt gives it more kudos.

You probably could even wear it as a choker if you really wanted to. No matter what way you choose to sport this fabulous piece, it will look beautiful! As a headband, in dark hair it would look stunning because it would pop and catch everyone’s eye! Heck it caught my eye within two seconds of seeing it on Shop Bop.

Great piece. Pricey but I won’t deny that it’s breathtaking.
