Re-Work Your Office Wear

All this talk of fall fashion is making me want new clothes for work!

All this talk of fall fashion is making me want new clothes for work! I definitely need something fresh and fun, but office appropriate. Here's what I found:

It all started when I fell in love with these Ya-Ya George flared leg pants from ShopBop. On sale for $177, they're the polar opposite of the new pencil leg jeans.

Cole Haan Heels

Cute And Comfy Cole Haan's For Fall

I love how Cole Haan is hot again and I think these shoes are gorgeous for fall.

I love how Cole Haan is hot again and I think these shoes are gorgeous for fall. Notice the delicate square shape of the toe, the perfect thickness of the 3 3/4" heel and the mini platform trend. Also, if you haven't caught on yet...patent leather is back with a vengeance! These shoes are my pick for fall's most hip and versatile heel.

It gets better. I've also just found out that Cole Haan is owned by Nike. I'm not saying that these bad boys are as comfortable as Air Jordan's... but they do have a concealed NIKE AIR cushion in them. They are better than Cole Haan, they're AIR Cole Haan. Now you can beat the girl in the cube next to you to the board room and finally get that promotion you deserve. Who wants to take them for a test run?

Purchase a pair in one of their four available colors for $265 here.

Hollywood Obsession: Leopard Print Shoes

Leopard print shoes seem to be THE thing in Hollywood right now.

Leopard print shoes seem to be THE thing in Hollywood right now.

To me, this is something I would probably never spend a lot of money on. It's a look I might think is fun once for like a night out in Vegas or something. But, in case a hot pair of leopard platforms are on your list for Fall, here are some great options.

As you know, I am a big fan of Benefit Cosmetics. I am completely obsessed with their Bag Gal Lash mascara and their fabulous new Her Glossiness Lip Gloss, among others.
