Currently Hating, Loving, and Wondering...

It's been awhile. So here are the things that I've been thinking about the styles for this fall...
Fashion is a crazy mistress. One day, we're all wearing slim fits and skinnies, and the next, PEPLUM. Simply put, I hate peplum. If you pin it more than once on Pinterest, I will probably unfollow you, I loathe it that much. For those of you who don't know what peplum is:
thank you  http://lotusblossomdesign.blogspot.com
Peplum is described by Wikipedia as "a type of elongated hem resembling a short skirt, worn to lay over another garment...They are included in closely fitting clothing, where they accentuate a narrow waist." OH. "Accentuate a narrow waist." Thaaaaat's what it's for. Because I thought that it was used to add 10 pounds to your hips and break up the hourglass shape. But maybe that's just me.

My reaction to peplum is usually this: 

But I can't forget the things that make me go:
Studded heels. 
Let me boil it down for you:  boots. I have stripper boots, mid-calf boots, go-go boots, wedge boots, black boots, brown boots, ankle boots...and I will probably end up with more. Probably? Let me change that to definitely. It's boot buying season, if not boot wearing season (yet). Some favorite styles for this season?
Tall boots
Tall, furry boots. Short strappy boots. 
I could go on and on when it comes to boots. These are just a few of my favorite styles to wear with skinnies, tights, sweater dresses, and the works. 

The thing that I'm wondering about? What crazy new styles NY Fashion Week will bring. Runway fashion mystifies and captivates me all at the same time. Kind of like that time Lady Gaga wore a dress made out of meat. 


Tonight is Fashion's Night Out! Keep an eye on the runway for the weird and wonderful.
