Dear Girlfriends ~

It’s time to have fun with Foldover Boots this year!  Perfect with skinny jeans or a fun little mini, which ever way you choose to wear them, the foldover boot is a popular trend this fall. 

Fashionistas, designers are making them with chunky heels, cone heels and even  stilettos and can be found  in  crinkled leather, vintage leather or suede of all colors.  A wide variety of styles are out there just to suit you!

Versatile and classic, these Twelfth Street Dylan Knee High Boots are a must have. Leather boots have a stacked wooden heel. With a foldover flap, you’ll have two boots in one! Count on Twelfth Street for amazing footwear.

The Victoria boot is Luxury Rebel’s take on this season’s super-chic foldover trend, combining toughness and elegance in an infinitely versatile style. Available in smooth leather or marshmallow-soft suede, we think you’ll fall in love with its asymmetrical cuff line and daringly high stacked heel. Pair this one with colored or textured tights and a bold minidress for a look that’s totally of the moment.

Dear Fashionistas ~

Finally I was able to grab my copy of the “Black Issue” First Print of the July Italian Vogue! It was a hard task to find, traveling from bookstore to magazine stands; I couldn’t find it for a week … either it hadn’t arrived or it was sold out! So today at 3:02pm, I went for a quick walk to the News World newsstand in downtown Washington, D.C. and BANG there it was … I even had an option of covers and of course I picked one of my favorite supermodels Liya Kebede! (You have a choice of four covers); ISN’T THAT FABULOUS! I held onto my copy, though I was excited to get a peek, I had to wait until I got home, in comfort, in a relaxing serene place, with a vanilla candle lit; I cracked open my Italian Vogue .. and I wasn’t disappointed.

Stay tuned for more after I turn each page!
