Looks from Isabel Marant Fall 2012 - photos style.com

Floral Chiffon Poet Blouse, $49, American Eagle Outfitters

Rich and Skinny Legacy Skinny Jean in Tangelo, $150, eLUXE

High-Heel Cowboy Ankle Boot, $109, Zara

Tassel Loafers, $39.95, Gap

Could this blouse from American Eagle be any more Isabel Marant Fall '12?  Don't think so...In fact, there's frequently a whole lot of Isabel inspo over at AE.  And, if the whole look is just a little too Miranda Lambert for you, then prep it up with a pair of dark skinnies and a little pair of Gap loafers. I love a great doppelgänger, don't you?  Yeehaw! PS - I'm way more rock n' roll than cheesy country but I do love a good cowboy boot.  Oh, and the occasional Taylor Swift tune.  But she's not really country, is she?

Splurge vs. Save: Fall Shoes

Once mid-August hits, we’re hit with the realization that dum-dum-duuuum, fall is just around the corner. What better way to drown your end-of-summer sorrows than with a new pair of shoes?  These sinfully gorgeous kicks, from fun loafers to colourful suede booties to knee-high tasseled boots will help you strut happily into the new season. And, with splurge vs. save options for each, they won’t even trip up your budget. For the full fall list of well-heeled finds, check out my gallery this week at iVillage.ca.  

A Mustard Must

Ruts happen to the best of us.  If your guy has shown even the most subtle sign of wanting to break out of his, get him right into these pants.  My husband is as stubborn as they come but you'd be amazed what a great pair of bold pants has done for his style.  Honestly.  Trust.  

He'll wear them for the rest of the summer with his tees or pale blue button-downs, and throughout the fall with everything from a dark navy or black sweater to a great grey long-sleeved tee and wool coat.  I know I've been all 'Go, Gap, Go' lately but it's well-deserved.  LOVE these.   

The supremely comfy Lived-In Slim Khaki is available now in 8 different colours for $59.95 (so there's no excuse) at Gap

If You Wanna Be my Loafer

Stubbs & Wootton will have to wait.  I'm loving these loafers from Gap and they come in so many fun patterns and colours. If you don't already own a pair, what are you waiting for? So comfy. So cute.
