Boots, Boots and More Boots with Midnight Velvet

One of the most exciting things about fall is IT’S BOOTS SEASON and I worked with Midnight Velvet to shoot a video serving up some of the hottest styles of boots this season. I’d actually go as far as saying some of the hottest styles ever! There is definitely a boot for every look you want to rock! There is sexy chic like our leopard print booties that also come in blazing red. There is so much to love about this bootie! The leopard print, the shape, the gold zippers, the chic heel height! They are super stylish, cutting a sexy silhouette yet the heel height makes them wonderfully wearable and comfy! They are great to dress up a black skirt, or dress and tights, but so fun when worn with rolled up denim!

My favorite boot this season is the stacked heeled Dune Boot by Fergie in BLUE SUEDE! There is something so cool and retro about them and that’s what makes them so of the moment! The color, the height, the stack heel and buckles; if you like a high boot to rock with skinny jeans, leggings or even skirts, the Dune Boot is definitely the one to get! That blue is everything but basic!

Love Those Leggings with Midnight Velvet

I distinctly remember in recent years when the legging made it triumphant comeback. But remember not too long ago the legging and it’s slightly staid older sister the stirrup pant were passé. They were replaced in the mid-nineties to early two thousands when the trouser came roaring back, heralded by designers like Darryl K, Katayone Adeli & Helmut Lang. Do you remember that moment when it was all about sharply designed pants in stove pipes, bell bottoms and flares? And pleats disappeared and it all at once became about the flat front low slung trouser?

Yet through it all, all along, in the back of your mind, and probably the back of your closet, there was at least one pair of black leggings. And you know why? No, you know why! Because nothing is as easy, comfortable and versatile as a great pair of leggings!

Labor Day has passed and Fall is officially here. There is the slight hint of a chill in the air. The leaves are slowly beginning to change. It’s that wonderful time of year that seems to accelerate as we move forward. It’s time for back to school and sports. It’s also the start of Holiday Season. From Homecoming dances to Halloween parties, Thanksgiving and holiday office parties to Christmas and then New Year’s Eve, these are the celebrations that make our lives special. We dress up to create these memories. And you search for that special dress worn beautifully on that special night.

Girl get your gauchos on!

At the end of my latest video with Midnight Velvet about Gauchos I say “Girl get your gauchos on!” and I mean it. Gaucho, culottes, split skirts or whatever you want to call them, this cropped wide legged pant is one of Fall 2016’s hottest trends. I love gauchos because they are a modern update to pants and let’s face it, they are fun!

Every woman has to wear pants. They are a work staple. And it’s hard to get excited about them. Enter the gaucho! The gaucho adds style and whimsy to the pant discussion! They are a cool length that showcases your legs, and boldly shows off your shoe game.

Midnight Velvet's True Red Trench

Rev it Up with Midnight Velvet’s Red Trench

In Midnight Velvet’s Red Trench Video, I say “Don’t cover up your style, amplify it!” I love that! Just because the temperatures cool doesn’t mean you get to slack on your style! One of the reasons why a coat is so important is you’re going to wear it constantly. Your coat is the piece you go to over and over again. Day after day, week after week, your coat needs to be practical but inspiring! It needs to be something you want to wear.

What’s more practical than a trench coat? It’s a classic piece that never, ever, goes out of style. Think about it? Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s with her khaki trench over a simple black sheath and oversized sunglasses. Catherine Deneuve in Belle du Jour giving a master class in Parisian chic. And super sexy Robyn Givens turning up at Eddie Murphy’s door wearing just a trench over her lingerie in Boomerang! The trench may seem boring but you can’t tell me it’s not sexy!

Tailored Chic with Midnight Velvet

Work. We spend the majority of our lives putting in work. Whether it’s our careers, relationships or our families, it’s all work. Now I hate working. I’d rather stay in bed all day watching re-runs of “Empire” and eating chips. But I realize that I like nice things, (my shopping addiction is LEGENDARY) and bills must be paid. So I gotta go to work. I also need to work off those chips so I gotta put in work at the gym too. Life = work.

How do I find inspiration to work? I re-language work as an opportunity to dress up. Each day is a chance to express yourself through fashion and work provides an exciting backdrop for that expression. Think about how excited and inspired you feel the first time you wear a brand new outfit! This season Midnight Velvet has some incredible new options that will leave your coworkers stunned, and you feeling inspired and empowered. Watch our Power Up Your Wardrobe video.
