YAY or NAY? - TOMS Botas

Hey Luuuxers :) I met someone over the weekend that was friends with the founder of TOMS. I immediately went home and looked him up. There was an interview of him on Ellen's Youtube channel and I was intrigued with the idea of buying a shoe & giving a shoe. I've been very active with social service at my school and I love the idea of reaching out to people. I was about to purchase a pair of TOMS but then I realized it was October. I live in Chicago and every day for about 3 months.. all you see is snow. SNOW. SNOW. SNOW. I looked around the TOMS site and was pleasantly surprised to come across these: BOTAS. They're thicker and they come up higher so EVEN THOUGH it won't keep snow out, it'll last me for the last month or so of fall and the middle of winter when the snow is all hard and frozen. They're $65 BUT, you're basically providing another pair of BOTAS to a stranger without shoes somewhere in the world. Isn't that amazing? Would you buy a pair of TOMS shoes? If you have a pair of BOTAS, please give me any feedback on them!!!

YAY or NAY?? shoe wall

Big celebrities like Mariah Carey and even every-day women devote entire rooms and spaces for shoes. To us, it seems like we can never have enough! However, is it reasonable to actually have an entire wall devoted to shoes? Ladies, think of your current income and home: IF TLC CAME AND OFFERED TO BUILD YOU A SHOE ROOM/WALL SOMEWHERE IN YOUR HOUSE FOR FREE, WOULD YOU LET THEM?? Why/why not? I'm really interested to know your thoughts :)

Fashion WATCH: Lace/see-through tops!

The new fall trend is to wear lacey and see-through tops. Women like to layer these shirts with neutral (black or nude) bandeaus. While last year might have been the cardigan, it is "in" to wear these tops without covering the back so the intricate patterns of the lace will be shown. What do you guys think about this trend? Would you wear it? I would wear it because I think it's classy yet a little less conservative. It's classy AND sexy! You never get that!

Subtle Polka-dot TREND

Now that fall is approaching, it seems almost out of place to be wearing flashy and summery colors. Because fall usually means emphasizing the grays and browns... it can be hard to add POP to your outfits. Recently, the new trend has been adding polka-dots to spruce up a boring look. Whether the polka-dots are on a blouse, socks or shoes, it definitely gives a fun feel to the outfit. They're also very classy!!!
