trend watch - ankle booties

I'm back and beginning to be recovered from an AMAZING weekend in Colorado for the wedding of a close family friend. Post on that coming soon! I apologize for my absence, but I'm back with some good material for you all:)

Between online shopping, obsessive reading of fashion mags and in-store shopping browsing, I can't help but notice that ankle booties are the must-have staple for the swiftly approaching fall season. As the perfect accompaniment for dresses, jeans, shorts, skirts - the list goes on, I'd say that it's worth your hard-earned money to invest in a pair for fall/winter. Whether you prefer spikes, glitter, tribal print, or simply no detailing, there's a pair out there for you. I've gathered a range of styles, so there's sure to be something below to catch your eye. And, I've provided some pics that show just how versatile ankle booties are!

Hair Envy

Yes, I spend way too much time blog surfing. But it's just so entertaining. I'm fascinated by random people's lives {that's the journalist in me}, which is why I find myself reading blogs for hours and hours. People are just SO incredibly interesting. 

In my routine blog exploration yesterday, I came across a blog that is now going to be regular read. Amber of Barefoot Blonde is not only has great style, but she's beautiful, witty and has ah-mazing hairstyles to share. Literally, her hair is always picture perfect, and makes me totally jealous. I've vowed to start trying some new hairstyles instead of my daily, un-brushed, wavy mess. We'll see how this goes... Here are some of my favorite hairstyles of hers. Told you, literally amazing.

Make sure to visit her blog for hair tutorials.

P.S - Please, please do me a HUGE favor! If you read my blog and you enjoy it, please help me out!

Oh, Miley.

After seeing Miley in this month's Marie Claire, there's simply no denying that she looks good. The spread is pretty amazing, and I must say that MC put her in an awesome range of looks. From paparazzi photos (not to mention this spread), it's clear that engagement suits her. She's in enviable shape thanks to what seems like 5-times daily pilates (she never misses a photo op to casually flaunt her newly ripped abs), and I must say I'm totally loving her recent switch to true blonde. (Note the first picture below...she's finally discovered that blondes do in fact have more fun). And I must admit that I'm totally jealous of her effortlessly cool, 'i don't give a s**t what people think' look. She totally owns what she wears, even if sometimes her choices are a little a lot questionable. But, like I said, with this new engagement glow (props to you, Liam), she's got my attention with her 'i-don't-try-to-look-good-even-though-i-totally-do' style. 

But then Miley went and did this, and all my previous points are now completely moot. That's called 'trying-to-hard-to-look-like-you-don't-care' Miley. Not your best look.
