Dear Girlfriends -

I’ve been rocking the cocktail rings this summer and don’t plan to stop for the fall.  In fact, I plan to step it up a notch even more!  Girlfriends let me tell you, the cocktail ring is the ultimate accessory to make an outfit shine,
The cocktail ring is an important eye-popping statement to make with your cocktail attire. Whether you’re wearing a colorful whimsical dress or a basic black number, adding a cocktail ring adds a splash of drama and glamour to your ensemble.

Dear Girlfriends ~

A new pair of boots is always the thing I’m most excited to wear when Fall arrives.  When it comes to fashion, I want to experiment and go the extra mile.  To update your wardrobe for the season, I suggest a pair of buckle boots which adds just the right edge to feminine looks.

No more hesitation, soon the boutiques, online stores and department stores will have pre-fall sales on boots!  Don’t miss  your chance and here’s some buckle boots you should consider.

From Naughty Monkey a pair of  round toe textured leather boot with buckle accents.  A femme fatale’s combat boot, these distressed suede boots feature seam detail and 3 buckled straps.

Dear Girlfriends -

If you are in the Washington, D.C. area you felt the cool crisp hint of Fall today as you headed out to work and our errands.  Ummm, soon the season will change to Fall and will you be ready for the fabulous blazers headed your way?

I’m looking forward to pairing a fitted blazer with a pencil skirt for a work day or even a trim, tailored blazer works with every look, find yours now!

Gathered ruffles add rich, romantic texture to the collar and cuffs of a fitted, feminine jacket shaped with a cropped silhouette and elbow-length sleeves.  Oversized button closes a cropped wool-blend jacket fashioned with a wide, pleated collar and decorative buttons at the cuff.
