For the past few fall seasons, I have been avoiding the legging trend. Sure they look super cute on a skinny girl with a pair of boots or a tunic, but do they really qualify as pants? I have seen it all, from leggings with dresses to leggings worn with tees. With so many great legging options on the market right now, it’s hard not to fall to this fashion trend this season. The best way to determine if your legging ensemble is appropriate is to make sure your rear is fully covered and the legging fabric is substantial. And please ladies, do not try to pull of the legging trend in a professional atmosphere. Instead try a skinny black fitted pant with the look of a legging and the fabric of a pant with your favorite tunics and boots. For the best legging trends right now, try one of these styles on for size with a haute pair of heels:
GAP Really Skinny Pant
Dolce Vita Whitney Boot
Old Navy Side Zip Legging
Naughty Monkey In The Park Heel
Forever21 Fab Faux Pant Legging
Jessica Simpson Ellisy in Blue Violet
J.Crew Toothpick Riding Pant
NYLA Slinger Heel in Black Suede
Banana Republic Jodhpur Legging
Paris Hilton Ryder Boot in Brown

While some of you may watch the ever-popular Gossip Girl for the storyline, I have to admit I mostly watch for the fashion! I would trade closets with Blair Waldorf any day of the week (well and imaginary lives too). Her preppy come designer style is coveted by many a young woman and I am no exception. Blair Waldorf was recently spotted on set sporting a Victoria Beckham Dress, Missoni heels, and a Tiffany & Co. clutch:
Try one of these Blair inspired looks and you’ll be the Queen Bee of your social crowd in no time.

While animal prints never go ‘out of style,’ this season they are dominating the fall fashion scene as a coveted trend on everything from jackets to accessories. However animal prints can easily cross the line from fashion DO to DON’T if they aren’t strategically styled. The best way to try the animal print trend is on an accessory like a printed heel with a feminine blouse or bright colored fall coat. Embrace your animal instincts with one of these spot on styles:
Naughty Monkey In the Park Leopard Heel
Naughty Monkey Portia in Zebra
Jessica Simpson Gano Heel in Fudge
L.A.M.B. Dawna in Zebra Print
