Things I Love: Koolaburra Venus Sandals

Jessica Alba was recently spotted wearing these Koolaburra Venus Sandals. I really love these gypsy sandals because they have a way of making the most casual outfits glamorous in a matter of seconds. Ms. Alba must agree, because she paired her cute and comfy lightweight leather jacket and skinnies with a pair.

As fall rapidly approaches, take a page out of Alba's book of style and pair gypsy sandals with a comfy light jacket and hip hugging skinnies. This look is perfect for the fall, when mornings are cool and the evenings are blazing.

Fab Fashion Find: Alexander McQueen Cutout Patent Leather Belt

So one of my favorite fashion designers Alexander McQueen has done it again and taken a bold approach to accessory design.

When I first saw this Cutout Patent Leather belt, I absolutely fell in love. It is so edgy and high fashion that it screams McQueen all over it.

Belts can be the end all to an outfit, and in most cases, your boring outfit's savior. Take a closer look at Alexander McQueen's cutout patent leather belt.

We all know that 80s fashion is in right now, so this belt would be a perfect add to your belt stash if you are into 80's style fashion.

Tip: pair this belt with a bandage dress and it will be fabulous for evening wear.

Not sure what a bandage dress is? Bandage dresses are very tight form fitting dresses (hence the name Bandage) that fit so tight, they show off your figure perfectly. Fashion designer Herve Leger introduced this style of dresses, and it was a Hollywood craze late last year.






And you don't have to spend thousands on a Herve Leger bandage dress, you can get the same look from stores like Forever 21 and Wetseal for a lot less.

The Alexander McQueen Cutout Patent Leather belt is $825 at Net-A_Porter, but this look can be achieved with any leather corset belt. Check out some affordable ones here.

Fashion Trend:Fashionable Scarves|Rock This Look

Scarves have to be one fashion's best kept secret weapons when it comes to accessorizing. With the help of a fabulous scarf, it's super easy to add life and flair to any outfit, even if you've opted to simply wear a sleeveless white top as Rihanna has done in the photo above.

And I have always loved scarves for this simple fact. My scarf stash is on point, and all the fashion addicts know no woman can ever have enough of them. I have all kind of scarves, and I always get compliments when I wear them because of the instant chic they bring to just about any outfit. With the right scarf, you can make a dull outfit become stylish.




There are so many ways you can wear scarves. My personal favorite is to tie them around the neck, but they can also be worn around the waist, and tied around the head also to create the same effect that a headband would. All looks are extremely stylish and worth consideration.

As you can see, most of the stars opt to wear their scarves around their necks and complete the look with big shades. If you have confidence, this is a simple look that will get you noticed.

It won't put a hole in your pockets to rock this fashion trend. Wetseal has a great and affordable selection of scarves.

Plaid pink scarf for $10.50
