Shoeday Tuesday: SHOE NIRVANA

It certainly smells like Teen Spirit when you watch the AW runway shows. Transport back in time when Seattle's rock scene was in full force and we couldn't get enough of plaid.

AW'14 embrace complete SHOE NIRVANA with the same inspired rocker combat-like boots we all indulged in in the 90's. I remember wearing my plaid pleated skirt, with my knee high socks and combat boots and my best friend rocking her short shorts with her favorite pair of Dock Martens.

Fast forward to 2014 and the color palette becomes muted in the shoe-world and our obsession with 90's nostalgia rages on. From dresses to jeans, these punk/rock kicks will have you zoned out to a simpler time. And although we miss Kurt Cobain's voice, it still echoes the sentiments of his legacy with the return of misfit dressing.

FORECAST FRIDAY: FALL IN LOVE WITH THESE COLORS

As the temperatures drop slightly and the leaves change color, we are quickly reminded that summer is coming to an end. But with the end of summer comes beautiful autumn colors. Here's a quick guide to making sure your closet is keeping up with Mrs. Wintour's favorite palette for fall.

This by far is one of the brightest Fall/Winter color streams we've seen in a while. Pink Flambe', Tangerine Tango, and Bright Chartreuse transition effortlessy from Summer, while Honey Gold, French Roast, and Titanium give us an earthly rich depth that rounds out a very complete array of colors.

Embracing a chocolate brown over black this season will be crucial to tie in these colors with ease and charm. Make a bold statement in Olympian Blue and maybe even Ryan Lochte will take notice!

Looking for a softer approach to a pretty extreme, opt for Rose Smoke or Rhapsody with a Titanium pencil skirt or slacks.

It's going to be a very colorful fall and I can't wait to dive right in!
