Editorial Looks in Real Life

This is one of my favorite looks from Glamour Magazine's November issue. I love how it's feminine and sophisticated with just the right amount of sexiness.

I've created two looks using the same vest that replicate this sexy librarian look.

Look on the left: Pair your knit vest with an ivory victorian blouse, black or gray mini skirt, simple black pumps and a long ornate necklace.

Look on the right: Pair your knit vest with the same ivory blouse, but this time with an ivory lace skirt and light colored booties.

The same simple vest creates two completely different looks. Pair both with gray or black tights and a long cashmere coat and your ready for fall!

Fall Boots

I recently became completely obsessed with riding boots. Being that I've been riding horses since I was 5 years old, I find it very ironic that I can't wait to get my hands on the same boots I used to loath to wear when I was 10. 

Here are my favorites of the season :)

Cole Haan- Air liberty Flat Boot- $298.00

Burberry- Tall riding boot- $750.00

Ferragamo- Fersea- $694.00

Ralph Lauren Collection- Sahara Riding boots- $975.00

Now I know these boots are pricey but I guarantee that they will last you forever and will always be in style! The above boots all have a very classic silhouette that will continue to be relevant for years to come. It's the boot equivalent to the black leather pump.

If you love boots as much as I do, I suggest choosing your favorite pair and making the investment this fall.

Coco Chanel

How better to start my blog than with a quote by the legendary Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel?

"Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman"

 As one of the most influential style icons of any time, Coco Chanel influenced the fashion industry infinitely. From the little black dress, to the tweed jacket, her design and style was ALWAYS impeccable. This very well may be the reason why she lives in infamy. Not only do we remember what she designed and how she influenced the world, but we remember her for being one of the most chic women of all time.     

Stiletto's and Sass is my outlet to share style secrets, shopping advice and general knowledge of all things "fashionista", to influence the word as Coco Chanel once did. Now I know we are comparing apples to oranges here (Chanel being the golden and diamond encrusted apple), but to all of my friends and family I have always been thought of as the one to turn to when you need fashion advice. With much success with them, I turn to the rest of the world to share my secrets! I hope you all enjoy my blog, and remember...

"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous" --Coco Chanel
