When I checked out La Garconne's end of Summer sale, I expected to stock up on warm weather items.

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.

Manolo Blahnik Campari Suede Mary Jane: Love It or Hate It?

Is it just me, or is this Manolo Blahnik Campari Suede Mary Jane ($555), G.I.

Is it just me, or is this Manolo Blahnik Campari Suede Mary Jane ($555), G.I. Jane gone wrong? Even though Marc Jacobs claims camouflage is a forever icon, sometimes you just have to say no. I'm all for the occasional patriotic print, but Mary Janes?! I think camo is best worn casual, not dressy. I could only see SJP pulling these off — not me.

Simple or Swank: Mary Janes

Nothing reminds me more of classic childhood attire than patent-leather mary janes.

Nothing reminds me more of classic childhood attire than patent-leather mary janes. The sturdy and stylish shoes have put a skip in many a lil girl's step once she's been decked out in fancy duds. While black and white are Winter and Spring staples, red remains the classy way to go sassy.

Simple: Azale Red-Patent Mary Jane by Primigi ($66) has a patent-leather upper, removable and washable, soft insole and hook-and-loop closure.

Swank: Prada Linea Rossa Toddler's Patent Mary Jane ($175) in red has a patent upper, rubber sole, and Velcro closure.

I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl

"Gossip Girl" debuted last week and though I was skeptical at first, it has done a fabulous job of nurturing my "The O.C."

"Gossip Girl" debuted last week and though I was skeptical at first, it has done a fabulous job of nurturing my "The O.C." withdrawals.

In the second episode last night, Serena van der Woodsen's current frenemy Blair Waldorf had an exceptional wardrobe, one of them being a delicate white eyelet dress she wore to to a fundraiser brunch at a posh hotel. Like a true rich girl, she donned pearl bracelets, a girlie headband and just to spice things up, a pair of sexy patterned tights. Sticking with the innocent-but-sexy motif, she wore black patent Mary Janes on her feet.

Do you love her ensemble as much as I do? Get the look below...and don't forget to watch the show next week then check back here for more fabulous outfits!
