Candid Wants: Leather & Lace Sandy Skirt from FredFlare.com

Fall is one of my favorite seasons, second only to Summer. There's something cozy and warm about seeing all the peacoats and boots walk the city streets. With the cool weather, comes the warmer clothing and I'm a big fan of Fall fashion. Skirts and boots, shawls and scarves - in patterns like leopard and zebra... oh my! The mix of patterns and textures MAKES my Fall wardrobe!

If you've read any of my fashion posts, you'll know that I love adding a little 'rockstar glam' to any outfit. It's a personality thing and totally not required. Everyone rocks their signature style - I'm not different. Multi-paneled and animal-friendly, this leather skirt screams "rockette". Need I say more? Plus, the kiss of lace at the bottom provides for just enough dainty. Zipper in the back keeps it all together!

Rock it out for dinner with the gals or thrown on a blazer and tank for the office! Score it for only $44 - thank YOU FredFlare!

I'm a big fan of nicely cut black pants. Fitted and comfortable - they're an essential for any wardrobe - no matter your personal style. As I'm usually coming from work and heading to events, black pants are quintessential for easy transition from uptown to downtown looks.

Your Sunday Shoegasm: A Neutral Tone to Things

I love color and I'm always looking to how to spruce up my wardrobe with different shades. Of course, like the creature of habit that I am - I always tend to stick to my tried and true favorites, which isn't bad as long as I'm willing to venture out to the untouched regions of patterns and hues.

This week's Shoegasm comes in the form of the Jeffrey Campbell Vera. It's slick design provides for comfort with that extra oomph of heel. It's neutral tone can allow me to take this from work to play by way of outfit. I'm all about belted dresses right now and these would look great with this poplin ruffle-trimmed dress from Max & Cleo! Or even this look-at-me red again belted number from Tbags!

At $110, you can afford a few more dresses to dress Vera up!

Your Sunday Shoegasm: The Not-So-Flat Flat

As girl who's pretty lacking in height, I like any chance to wear heels (comfortably). I'm all for sucking it up when I put on the killers but for everyday use, a simple heel does wonders for me. For this Sunday's Shoegasm, I present the best of both worlds - the comfort of flats with just enough heel. Besides that, I try to stay away from skyscraper heels when I'm at work so my wardrobe needs to shift easy from day to night.

Say hello to "Buckles" - the perfect all-purpose sandal (at least in my opinion) from Jeffrey Campbell. Paired with a fun dress and blazer, I can go to work or slip off the blazer and go out to play! At $130, you can afford the black pair too. You know the rules ladies - if the shoe fits, buy it in ever color!
