Shoe Trend: Block Heel Ankle Strap Pumps

At first I was not sure this trend was age appropriate. Then Carol and I got to talking about how to style fall’s hot shoe trend: block heel ankle strap pumps and I was won over. They are a more sophisticated Mary Jane style and I particularly love the ones with multi straps. You can go a little crazy with the pattern since baroque and florals are so in this season but that could look a little too trendy if you are over 40 and don’t know how to pull the look off properly (don’t go there unless you really know what you are doing or are a fashion risk taker).

Transitional Trend To Wear Right Now: Cardi Coats

Last year the “it” sweater was the open and draped cardigan – it could be asymmetrical but it had a flowy effect. Well that was last year. This fall the open cardigan style is oversized and boxy. Picture grabbing that large bulky sweater your grandpa used to wear and you have the idea. We like to call these cardi coats, but they actually hit about mid thigh. We are not talking about the long sweater coats that were so popular in 2002 so don’t get too excited if you kept yours
