Here we are again-the warm days of September are here with a hint of crispness in the air. There is no better season, and no more beautiful time of the year in the Northeast. With the weather change, comes the new fashions for fall. Spending lots on clothes is not my thing, but I love fashion and a good find. After paging through tons of catalogues, these are my recommendations.
Bang for the Buck
SHOES
Forget Jimmy Choo, Christian Loubitin, Manolo, Ferragamo, and Giuseppe Zanotti!
Head for Lord and Taylor and check out: Sam Edelman's Della Pump in black and
camel for $139.95. Ivanka Trump's entire shoe line is priced well and looks fabulous,
Check out her Caria Flat for $99.95. DV by Dolce Vita "Joust" bootie in black or
brown suede is $99.00 and simple and cool.
At Nordstrom's Vince Camuto's Bocca buckled over the knee boot for $228.95
Finally, Check out all of Tory Burch's boots-they are all great with a skinny jean.
Available at Tory Burch Stores.
PURSES
Who needs Gucci, Prada, Chanel, Miu Miu or Philip Lim?
Visit Nordstrom and check out Rebecca Minkoff's Cross body Dexter bucket bag in
Port for $295. I love Coach's new soft legacy pebbled leather shoulder bag in
Midnight for $358-available at Saks.
PANTS&TOPS
Lord and Taylor's private brand: crepe dolman and medallion brocade pant in
evergreen. ($60 and $70). Amazing color-great for the holidays!
Nicole Richie's line for QVC has two great items: a leather and canvas jacket for
under $90 bucks and a brocade ankle pant in black or red for under $70.00. She has
a great sense of style and these are cool.

JEWELRY
Pomellato's small band silver ring at Saks for $310. Buy two and wear as ring guards
with your diamond band. The large band is $350 and great on its own.
COATS
Saks has a gorgeous DKNYC colorblock wool coat with faux fur. Navy/Charcoal/
black for $299.
Gotta Have It-Willing to Splurge (and it's not even that bad!)
PURSES
Saks again: Michael Kors Miranda tote in Royal/Black for $1495.
PANTS
9/15 ponte leggings also at Saks for $110. One pair of black ponte pants are great
for every season. Worth the price. Wear with boots, stilletos or ballet flat-super look.
JEWELRY
Meira T necklace in blue chalcedony and diamonds at Bloomies for $1595. also
comes in a variety of stones. Simple, Elegant, Everyday or black tie.
COATS
This is my favorite: Dawn Levy Coat. Very streamlined with black ponyhair. Ok-it
may not be pc with the antifur crowd, but they don't kill the horse-they just give
it a trim. At Saks (where else?) for $1095.
FINAL THOUGHTS AND MUST HAVES:
Coolest dress: Cynthia Steffe's rose print jacquard fit and flare dress in black and
gold. Great for dinner or black tie-really pretty and reasonably priced for $248.
Get it at Lord and Taylor
If you only buy one item on trend this season make it a "haircalf" purse, belt, or shoe.
Bargain: Betsey Johnson's studded haircalf belt for $48; or Sam Edelman's strappy
okala pump for $120. Both items at Lord and Taylor.
If you want to transform your dull skirt or dress, jazz it up with an embellished tight.
Go look at DKNY'S embellished black seam tight, or geometric patterns by Pretty
Polly, Wolford, or Spanx. All at Nordstrom. Spend $20-$60 and you have a rockin'
look that's hip and pretty.
Coolest new running show is Nike's free fly knit in pink/white for $160(Nordstrom)
And finally, a splurge that might make you feel regretful next fall, but happy this season is Valentino's Rockstud Sling pump in Nude or blue patent. $945 at Saks.
