Fall Trend Watch Day Five: Moccasins

Are you a girl who values practicality just as much as style?  Are you not willing to tolerate blisters, leg cramps, and lower back pain in the name of fashion?  Do you still want to look cool in chic-bohemian kind of way?

Sounds like you need some Minnetonka moccasins, by far some of the cutest and most comfortable shoes on the planet and available right at B. Younique boutique in Brighton.  These celebrity favorites are hand-made in the USA and are the perfect addition to your fall wardrobe.  B. Younique has tons of styles to choose from:

 These were my favorite; love the metal stud detailing.  I might need to go back for these babies.

Fall Trend Watch Day 3: Wear With Anything Leather Bag

Want to know what makes me happy?  A new bag.  Want to know what makes me even happier?  Buying a bag with the same structure as a Louis Vuitton speedy for a FRACTION of the price.  

This fall, practical and structured bags with a bit of fun are all the rage. Fahsye just got in a gorgeous line of leather bags from Thailand called Rainbo. They are the only shop in the US to carry them, so unlike LV, you won't see everyone and their mother walking around with your bag.  They are exclusive, well-made, genuine leather and available at the palatable price of $299.00.  

They are available in three delicious colors and PYTHON is coming soon!  Oh. Baby.

Is anyone surprised that I went for the pink?  Didn't think so.. and yes, I cropped out my head.  Bad. Hair. Day.

Try to ignore my yellow Target rain boots and focus on the overall picture: adorable bag, perfect size, optional shoulder strap, and easy wearability.

Instead of dropping more than two grand on an empriente speedy or getting a new Coach or Kate Spade this year, why don't you head over to Fahsye and give Rainbo a try?  Be sure to tell them that the Fashionista sent you.  ;)  Happy Shopping!

Fall Trend Watch Day 1: Sequins and Leather

In honor of Fashion Week, Rochester A-List sent me on a mission to scour local boutiques for the latest trends.  Armed only with my i-phone and an eye for style, I left the kids with grandma and grandpa on an expedition to shop til I dropped.  (Rough life, I know!)

Every day this week I will highlight a different fall trend and tell you where you can find it in Rochester.

To kick off this series, I went to Dado, one of my favorite local boutiques, in search of sequins and leather.  Think you can't pair a blinged-out cocktail dress with a motor cycle jacket?  Think again.  Leather and sequin accents are big this fall, and like two heads, two trends tend to be better than one.

Here's what I found...  

The moment I walked in, I locked eyes with this beauty; it was love at first sight.

Then these glittery cocktails numbers caught my eye (obviously, I mean, I'm from NJ, we like our bling).

After salivating over everything in the store.  I finally brought these four items into the fitting room:

I loved this combination of leather, silk and sequins.  Sadly the pants were not my size, so instead of humiliating myself and making you uncomfortable witnessing that unfortunate display, I decided to spare you a photo.  Let's just say it wasn't pretty...

 

This sparkly, fringed dress was another story. (Just think how smokin' it would have looked had I come armed with my Spanx!) Note to self:  carry shapewear at all times.

 I could probably go up a size in the jacket, but I still LOVED this combination.  Back in my other life (pre-broke SAHM/blogger) I would have bought both in a heart beat.  Sadly, neither was in the budget.  **tear** But, if any of you want to "adopt" a local blogger... :)

What do you think?  Will you try mixing glitz and leather this fall?  

What trend are you excited to wear this season?
