Timberland EathKeeper Boots




I wanted to share with you a great new find. Heritage brand Timberland has introduced a new collection of boots this year that are really stylish called EarthKeepers. The EarthKeeper collection are partly made with recycled materials but you wouldn't know if from the looks of them. Finding boots that are well made and will last a long time for a reasonable price (under $200) is challenging these days. Timberland has been making craftsman style boots since the 1950s. My favorite design aspect of these styles by Timberland is the mixing of leather and suede. I have a pair of the EarthKeepers Bethel Buckle Tall Zip Boot in Bitter Chocolate and I love them. The reddish brown is a really unique color and they are so comfortable and sturdy. Check out more of the Timberland EarthKeeper collection here. And the best part is Lucky Magazine and Timberland have offered Fashion Plate readers $20 off their purchase. Shown: Madison Heights Tall Boot $190, Cabot Pull On Tall Boot $200, Bethel Buckle Tall Boot $190, Cabot Biker Boot $140.

Monday {Ruffled-up} Workwear

I don't know about you, but I typically associate ruffles with a level of femininity that I can rarely pull off (nearly 6ft tall women don't often get called girly, at least I certainly don't).

But I'm loving how these looks take feminine details and inject them with a distinct sense of power.

And who doesn't want to feel a little fierce as they head into a new week? I hope you go out there and work it my dears.

Happy Monday!

Peep Toe Shoes and Tights

The first chill of fall is in the air in New York and has me thinking of putting my summer dresses away and heading and figuring out what I am going to wear! One of my favorite things to try this fall is colored tights with peep toe shoes.

Product Review: Havaianas




I first fell in love with Havaianas a few years ago when I was traveling in Brazil. I don't think I took them off for the entire trip. Havaianas Brazilian flip flops were originally made in 1962 (who knew they were so old!) and originally came in 8 colors. Nowdays there are upwards of 20 different styles and a ton of different colors. Some of my favorites shown here are the Havaianas Slim, Fun, Surf Girl, Fit, and Top Mix. I recently had the opportunity to try the Fit, which has an extra wrap around ankle strap and looks even more like a sandal. The matte gold is perfect for beach to dinner occasions like the Hamptons, where I will be wearing them this weekend. And you never have to worry about getting any blisters with Havaianas. I can literally walk in them for hours with no discomfort. Havaianas also has some of the most creative ad campaigns around. For more styles of Havaianas womens sandals visit their website.

Mad Men Style Inspiration

Mad Men 1950s Style



I am excited for the Premiere of Mad Men tonight. I have noticed a lot of 50s inspired fashion trends for fall. Think cardigan sets, brooches, and full skirts.

Starla Sandals







Starla Sandals are the perfect way to put a little bling in your summer wardrobe. These stylish flip flop sandals are jewel encrusted but still have a casualness to them. Each sandal is handmade using leather and Swarovski crystals.

Owner, Michele Paredes, designs each sandal and her South Florida roots provide the perfect influence. The sandals feel luxurious, and yet can be paired with anything. Throw a pair on for the beach or wear them out to dinner at your favorite hot spot. No matter where you choose to wear them you will feel glamorous. When I wear mine I feel like I could be catching the next jet to San Tropez or the Canary Islands. Now if only it were true...maybe if I click my heals.

What I Want Now: Neon Fashion

Now that the sun is blazing and the days are hot, I want to wear bright colors and pretend I am headed to the boardwalk – instead of to work. These retro neon colors remind me of middle school (in a good way). All I need to do now is tease my hair and get a skateboard.

Do You Dare?

The trend graced runways at Burberry and even Oscar de la Renta and now you're spotting it on many a fashionable foot. I'm talking about tights/socks with sandals.



Great not-quite-warm-enough-to-wear-open-toed-alternative, or, major fashion faux pas? I'm torn...or maybe just a little timid. Do you dare try it??

Rose Gold - Perfect for the Summer

Rose Gold


I have a recent fixation with rose gold. It is the perfect metallic shade for the summer. It has that soft "sunset" feel to it and makes me long for evening walks on the beach and poolside cocktails.

Clogs - The Return



So I have to admit, shoes with wooden bottoms are not my favorite. Somehow I always manage to kick myself in the ankle. But I have seen a bunch of cute clogs. Here are a few for inspiration.

Jazz Festival in New Orleans Fashion

Jazz Feastival


I am headed to Jazz Fest in New Orleans on Thursday and wanted to share this New Orleans inspired post for my trip. New Orleans is the perfect city to wear a bit of lace and old fashioned jewelry. But walking around all day you need a good pair (and of course stylish shoes). And last but not least some cut-offs and a rock and roll style bag with fringe and a long strap that won't get in the way when you are dancing in the streets.

Shown: Butterfly Lace Frill Hem $65 Topshop, Antik Batik Bongo Bag $320 Net-a-Porter, Gap Destructed jean shorts $25, Narciso Sunglasses - Roberto Cavalli $285 Forzieri.

I'm Loving...

In fact I'm really really needing peep toes, especially ones with serious personality! It appears Needs Supply will give me what I'm jonesin' for.


And fabulous neutrals to boot? I'm in platform heaven!
