Skirts to the Max

Usually every week I write about a trend or something in the fashion world that I love or think others should own, but this particular blog post will be dedicated to the not so attractive MAXI SKIRT! Maybe it’s because I am short and could never pull this off or the fact that it reminds me of Little House on the Prairie, these things are pretty awful. There is one exception, if you are a tall and stick thin model, then you have my permission to rock this trend. Take a look!

I love Haute Hippie, but this skirt is a bad mix of a tu-tu and a gypsy skirt all in one bad garment.


LAMB makes this long pencil skirt which is perfect for work with a shirt tucked in and a pair of heels. Make sure to keep you’re body type in mind!

These next 4 pieces are so ugly I just don’t get it. The first one is by LNA, another brand I adore but went wrong with this skirt.


This glimmery velvet skirt by MINKPINK is not how anyone should wear the velvet trend this season.

This Kimberly Ovitz velvet skirt is a better choice if the long skirt thing is your cup of tea.

And everyone knows I love bohemian flare, but this Opening Ceremony fringe skirt is cut-off in a weird place and all wrong.

Rachel Pally makes this feather/watercolor print maxi skirt that looks like the bad trends of the 70’s.

I actually do like this Rachel Roy skirt because of the sophistication that was put into it. Wear this to a ball, gala, classy holiday event, or any other special occasion.


I think that Rag and Bone took some notes from Marc Jacobs with these northern style, equestrian skirts. I like them on certain people, but mostly only when Marc has them walking the runways!

Give Em' the Boot

Every girl gets excited about one thing especially when the cold weather hits, BOOTS! You can’t ever have too many and if you could you would take one in each color of your favorite style. I have chosen my favorite few and would love to have them all to myself all Winter long!

This Elizabeth and James double platform boot is a fashion forward day option and can also be worn out for cocktails or an event in the evening.

Whether you’re at work or walking the streets Christmas shopping and running errands on the weekend, a girl needs to be comfy! Joe Jeans makes this “joy” boot

or this western style boot with a tiny heel.


This Jeffrey Campbell Wishlist boot is my MUST-HAVE boot right now and I cant wait to get a pair!

I also adore these two different variations of the combat boot by the designer


The retro feel of these Modern Vintage suede platforms and these Stuart Weitzman over the knee flat boot, is bohemian and classy all at once.


And there has to be an over-the-knee boot somewhere in your boot wardrobe, so get a pair of these Joe Jeans wedge boots

or this version by Stuart Weitzman
