With the pumpkins, gourds and mums outside, The Fall season has official arrived. By now, most are scrambling to put together a costume or planning to attend a fabulous party.
Since Halloween calls for creative costumes, many of them will call for unique footwear. Shoes generally make the outfit, so here are 5 perfect shoes for you this season? Footcandy has taken 5 popular costumes and paired them with the perfect shoe. Making Footcandy’s top 5 shoes this holiday season are:
1. Masquerade Costumes:
Masquerades emit romance, mystery, and intrigue but who said you couldn’t emulate this on your feet? Charlotte Olympia’s “Masquerade” is an unique and innovative design that will compliment any homemade or store-bought masquerade costume this season. The crystal-tear drop and cut outs are playful yet mystifying. But perhaps the best part about this shoe is that it is absolutely comfortable and will get you through your night of dancing.

2. Insane Asylum Costumes:
You’d be crazy not to want to wear this design by Moschino! Escape the ordinary straitjacket and fly over the cuckoo’s nest with these fabulous high heels. This design might seem frightening to walk in but the three buckle straps actually provide you with the perfect fit. Whether you’re dancing, walking, or just handing out candy, these shoes will without a doubt make a crazy statement.

3. 70’s Go-Go Gal Costumes:
The 70’s were all about disco, dancing and platform shoes. This very funky 70’s inspired design by Loeffler Randall completely embodies the go-go gal vibrations. So whether you’re wearing hot pants or a multi-colored flared dress these platform shoes will absolutely complement your costume.

4. Pirate Costumes:
Ahoy, Matey! Pirates are staples for costumes every year; so we thought we’d show you a boot that will coordinate perfectly with any corset dress, velvet waistcoat, and rustic hat. The “Bliss” by Rebecca Minkoff will have you walking the plank, trimmin’ yer sails and watching for ships. So sail the seas with this incredible design, you’ll absolutely love how comfortable these boots truly are.

5. Bippity, Boppity, Boo:
The “Favell” by Rupert Sanderson is the perfect high heel to complement any costume this season. Not to mention the rich suede textile and purple hue embodies all things autumn. So before you head out to your party, make sure you throw on the “Favell.” They are incredibly festive and perfect for any Cinderella costume.

Praying for everyone on the East Coast that the storm moves out of your way and I pray that you are safe and secure In Jesus Name.
I often think that everyone is pretty good about styling; but I want to share a Bubbling tip in regards to the cardigan. A cardigan is a piece of clothing that is meant for layering. It is such a wonderful thing to be able to have a cardigan complete an outfit. And, if you get a little warm you can take it off.
In this picture I am wearing a floral cardigan and tailored shirt with my denim jeans from Macy’s. The cardigan reminds me so much of Isaac Mizrahi’s floral cardigans. I have on my favorite Dooney and Bourke vacheeta leather handbag.
I bought these jeans last year at Macy’s. They are so comfortable and I really like the feel of them.
I am reflecting and being thankful because God is so good.
Rara Avis by Iris Apfel Owl Ring
One of my favorite pieces that I purchase on HSN.com is my owl ring by Iris Apfel, it’s such a conversation piece. The ring is long; but very comfortable.
Cardigans can go casual chic with jeans or you could rock it with a sweater skirt or trousers to dress it up a bit. In a future post; I will show how you can dress up a cardigan.
Great look for a fall day!

The memory of summer is still fresh in our minds but autumn is rapidly closing in. Although we often focus on the negatives – short days, long nights, cold weather and rain, rain, rain – the new season shouldn’t fill you with a total sense of dread. Yes the weather is changing, but as the nights get longer we have more time to party and the festive season is the perfect excuse to get all dressed up and chose from a variety of places to go.
Whatever the weather, we are faced with the age of dilemma: what do we wear? Autumn/winter 2012 has plenty on offer and it is decadent, glamorous, moody and embellished to the max. The colour palette largely revolves around black, but there are plenty of gem tones, and traditional prints and patterns to liven things up. Dogtooth, herringbone and tartan give structure and depth to tailored looks, leather and lace spice up black and jewel tones bring playfulness to skater and prom dresses.
As always, New Look has a great selection of sleek party dresses. Here are three of our favourites.
It’s nineties grunge meets eighties prom queen and for that we adore it. On trend and on budget is the Elise Ryan Black Taffeta Lace Top Dress (pictured), £49.99. It’s black; it’s lacy; it’s got a full skater skirt and it’s got cut out detailing on the back. In sum, this dress scores maximum fashion points and it means business. Perfect for wowing on the dance floor or showing off your figure at a cocktail party.
Baroque is a strong look for autumn/winter. Detailing, pattern, gem colours and lots of gold and silver detailing make this decadent trend perfect for evening wear. The Misumi Barouqe Peplum Mesh Sleeveless Dress, £24.99 not only has this season’s must have – a peplum – it’s also adorned with details, from the mesh top to the all-over ornate print. We love this dress.
The floaty, ethereal Sienna Black Gold Feather Neck Dress, £42, masters gothic glamour in one clean sweep. The chiffon creates intrigue and unearthliness while the jagged gold feather metallic neckline brings it right back down to earth with a rock and roll thud. We like this very much!

Loving the browns.
This was a cool day to kick in gear my browns for fall. I added color by adding in the pink printed silk blouse and burgundy tights.

The burgundy tights with this outfit shows how versatile colors can be; and how it can really change up an outfit. Yes, I am wearing my Dooney and Bourke birthday handbag.
My wedges are from Poetic Licence and and talking about cute. These shoes were originally $129.00. I was able to purchase them on clearance from HSN.com for only $29.99. Another one of my great fines.
Poetic Licence
Another view of the wedges. These summer shoes can be transitioned into fall with the tights. Step out on the wild side and give it a try. Now will I wear them in the cold winter probably not but this look is totally appropriate for fall.

JT in her St. Cardinals hoodie
This is a not so wordless Wednesday; because I wanted to tell my story of how I got such a good deal on this hoodie. I don’t own many hoodies but I wanted a St. Louis Cardinals hoodie to support my favorite team. I really didn’t want to spend a lot of money. Well my hubby and I went to Macys’ about a couple of weeks ago and we were getting him some socks. I just so happen to go to a rack with this hoodie and it was in my size. Meant to be! I was able to get this hoodie for more than 50% off the retail price.

For a hoodie it’s not bad at all. I wore it and felt good in the shoes. The purchase definitely worth it.

The Cardinals are playing today so I have to root for my team.

I am going in and out of summer and fall clothes because the weather is fluctuating. As I have said many times, when the weather is up and down; layering is a sure winner in my book. Today started out chilly, in the 40s. I wore my scarf from Target, my Susan Graver faux leather jacket , my new dress from Handworks of India, hand made dress by Ware, tights, flats and my Dooney and Bourke handbag.

If I get a little warm I can take the scarf off and and the faux leather jacket and I am ready. The dress is so comfortable and chic and I love the hand embroidery detail of the flower in the dress.

The dress has a tie belt that I tied in the front for more definition in the waist.

The accessories:
Cross necklace – gifted
Turquoise earrings – Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe, New Mexico
Dooney and Bourke Vacheeta Leather handbag
Gem bracelet – gifted
Bow Headband – JC penney
This is one of my favorite outfits.
