Billy the Kid

I love Freja doing her best Billy Idol in this month's Numéro.

I must admit I'm way past my saturation point when it comes to 80s influence in fashion lately, but she looks fantastic in this editorial and I'm really loving wool blazers right now, which are featured in almost every frame.

Step Into Fall

As fall ascends on us it is harder and harder for me to escape the need to shop.

For blazers, for pants, but most importantly for boots.

Unfortunately my favorite pair of suede lace-up ankle

boots have seen better days, and while I will never replicate the perfect balance of platform and heel that allows me to wear these boots for hours on end without even minor discomfort, it is time to change things up.

The difficulty, of course, is that money is scarce these days, making my top picks all but impossible. If I had my way I would buy these...

But unfortunately these beautiful Burberry Prorsums that I've been coveting since they pranced

down the runway with white silk and opaque black tights are $895. And completely sold out on

net-a-porter.

I am equally in love with these...

But I fear they all fall in the $600-$700 range.

I've found these options around town, and I think they offer a nice price-point while avoiding the ubiquitous territory of Jeffrey Campbell knock-offs or Pour la Victoire quality.

I especially love how similar the Zamagni Italian eather boots are to LD Tuttle's the Pop boot, one of my favorites for the season.

Enceinte

When I am pregnant I better look as fantastic as Geraldine Saglio....only those French Vogue women can maintain such an effortless cool during their third trimester.
