You don’t have to be in the war to wear combat boots.  You don’t even have to wear pants.  Today’s “snag” brings a girly take on this tough & trendy shoe that I absolutely love.

These have recently become one of my favorite pieces in my closet.  You can pair them with anything from shorts to skirts to skinny jeans to give a little edge to a sweeter style.  This is one trend that I hope sticks around.  Bring on the spice, ladies!

Until someone invites me to Fashion Week, I have to settle for seeing everything after it has all hit the runway.  I’ve been drooling over the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Gallery online (mbfashionweek.com), and so many collections are loaded with glitzy, flowy, and feminine greatness with gorgeous colors and silhouettes.  I’m dying for Spring to get here and Fall has yet to arrive.  I’ll cut to the chase.  Here are my favorites:

As you can see, it was nothing short of amazing.

If someone told me I could go to Fashion Week in NYC, I might die.  If you don’t already know, it is an 8-day event that encompasses all things wonderful, crazy, funky, and fabulous.  Designers bring the best of the best and parade their greatest looks down the runway to prepare us all for an upcoming season of fashion bliss.

I was perusing Elle.com and their vast (almost never-ending, not that I’m complaining) collection of photos and highlights from the event, and I chose my favorites.  My Top 3 were fairly easy to choose.

Number 3 was HERVÉ LÉGER by Max Azria.  I used to work for BCBG Max Azria, so it was one of the first I looked through.  Loved it.

My next two are a complete toss-up.  I hate to say I have a tie, but I’m also terrible at making decisions, so I’m giving myself a pass today.  Nicole Miller and Diane Von Furstenburg will have to duke it out for the #1 spot on their own time, because I can’t choose.  They were both super-feminine and amazing… and I picked my favorite looks from each.  I want this stuff, now.

If you get a chance to take an hour (or 7) out of your day to look through pictures from Fashion Week, I’d also suggest Zac Posen, Elie Tahari, Betsey Johnson, Diesel Black Gold, Vera Wang, and Nanette Lepore.  I stumbled upon Missoni, too.  However, their models were a little too creepy for me…

RIght?  So, if you’ve got different favorites or opinions on FW ’11, share, share, share!  And for all my friends in New York, I’m beyond jealous.

Write you soon,
