When I checked out La Garconne's end of Summer sale, I expected to stock up on warm weather items. Surprisingly, the 30 to 70 percent off discount also includes a slew of Autumn-friendly items. Now that's a double whammy.

These Les Prairies De Paris L'Effronte Peep Toe ($195, originally $390) would look great with a pair of black trouser socks. Scrunched, of course, and paired with a skirt and long cardigan to get that sexy librarian look.

Les Prairies de Paris Makes A Good Point

For some reason we're really drawn to the Les Prairies des Paris aesthetic these days.

For some reason we're really drawn to the Les Prairies des Paris aesthetic these days. It's that familiar, Parisian chic that we see from brands like A.P.C. and Vanessa Bruno but, in this case, it's even less recognizable. Call us tired of the loud stuff, call us in the mood for a little reading in the backyard. Even though fashion moods come and go we still think Les Prairies des Paris is a great brand to look to when you're revising your Fall wardrobe or are in need of office basics that don't come from Express (shudder). Les Prairies started back in 2002 and has remained a well-stocked contemporary brand that, to us, always blends in at the boutiques, until we realize everything in our dressing room is made by them. A few seasons ago, they made a sick navy trench--it was heavy and cut just right. This season, there are more than a few basics to covet. In fact, it's just like the days when A.P.C. was still fairly under wraps and it was possible to look like a preppy little french girl without people confusing that with, well, a hipster in a brownstone. There is no real difference, it's just better when a contemporary brand does not yet give away your place of residence.

Trend Alert: Sock Sandals

I wonder if Argentinean teenagers are the real trendsetters of the world.

I wonder if Argentinean teenagers are the real trendsetters of the world. What am I mumbling about? I happen to have a pair of sock sandals that I purchased in Buenos Aires two years ago. They are black, I thought they were very Helmut Lang, and they were $12. All the funky Buenos Aires youngsters were wearing them and I simply had to have a pair.

I wear them with thigh-revealing looks as I think something avant-garde looks best with something sexy. Whitney from The Hills knows how to wear these unique sandals and she does so with ease in her little floral dress. So tell me, are sock sandals all the rage?
