I love greens, it a great color and goes well with many skin tones. Along with cream and pink tones, this season army green is one of the big color of the season continuing on from the Spring and Summer trend, but this time with more layers. I have seen some great styles and ways to wear this color already. Look out for military inspired jackets, trench coats, and boots. I’m excited to show you my picks of must-have army greens for this Fall.

Gifts:

Maybe your doing gifts but if you plan a special night in it’s not necessary. But, just in case here are some idea for guys and girls.

The Guys

A great gift you can get for your guy is something he will really appreciate, like a gift certification to get his car detailed or if he lets you drive it, take it yourself. Another idea is tickets to a game, event, concert, or comedy show.

Remember this holiday is about showing love and appreciation for each other, so I don’t think he will be thrilled with a pair of Old Navy boxers.

The Girls

If you are reading this guys, girls like gifts on this holiday that are romantic. Yes, you can do the flowers and chocolate but everyone does that. Get her something sweet or sexy.

Kim Kardashian just released her new fragrance this week. Guys you will get extra bonus points for not only getting her something sweet and romantic but that you even knew Kim K’s scent was out.  Or take her shopping to get a sexy top, dresses, or new panties, something that will make her feel sexy and beautiful.

Drinks:

There are so many delicious and romantic drinks you can make for Valentine’s Day whether your enjoying your dinner, or snuggled up on the couch. Try this easy to make raspberry Bellini.  Remember it’s all about the presentation!

Raspberry Bellini

Dessert:

For dessert set out a dessert tray of your favorite desert and drinks. Or relax after dinner with chocolate covered strawberries or chocolate truffles something to nosh on while you cozy up and watch a movie.

Bath Time:

Nothing better then to light candles, play some romantic music, drink some champagne, and add some luxurious bath salts to enjoy your own at home spa.

Victoria Beckham is absolutely one of my favorite people. I have been a fan of her since the beginning when I first found out about the Spice Girls from a magazine my Nanny sent me from England. I think she is fabulous when it comes to fashion. So you will  probably see a lot of trends from her on my blog. The another day she was photographed wearing a pair of knee high boots which I think will be a huge trend for the Fall and Winter this year.

New trend from Victoria Beckham- Knee High Boots

I loved these boots so I thought I would look around and see where I could find the best places online to get myself a pair.

The first place I looked for knee high boots was Zappos.com. They has a great selection of knee high boots in all kinds of color, design, and heights. My favorites were the boots by Stuart Weitman which were the most expensive ranging from about $600. I couldn’t afford that right now but some of you might be interested.

I also really like the Jessica Simpson boots, Guess, and Nine West. But my favorite from Zappos.com and the boots I found that looked similar to “Victoria Beckham”  style were Steven Madden ones and for only $80.91 on sale. That is a great deal!

Next I headed over to Baker’s to see what they had. I really liked the Barby and the Lila styles.

I love Target it’s one of my favorites shops. I can go there pretty much ever day and there is always something new to see. I actually really like their shoes. I brought some boots last winter that I just loved and got lots of good comments about.

At Target.com I found two pairs of knee high boots for under $50, which is a great price if you don’t want to spend a ton of money. The first pair are Karletta for $28.99 and the second are Rowena for $44.99. Go with the Rowena, much cuter.

At Piperline.com, OMG they had so many knee high boots I couldn’t look through them all.  Rachel Zoe had some great picks for tall boots. I saw prices on these boots from $100 and up. So you can get some good deals.

Some other places I checked out and found some fabulous boots were  Aldo.com, GoJane.com, Bebe.com, OverStock.com, and VictoriaSecret.com.

Happy Boot Shopping, let me know what kinds and style of knee high boots you like.

Steven Madden

Plaid  Top/Skirts/Dresses

This season plaid is in and every closet must have something plaid weather it be a  top or a dress. But make sure when you purchase your top is fitted and has fun colors like blue, orange, and green. Stay away from the baggie look as well as the dull colors. I have the dress pictured above in black and grey and it fits so well and looks so nice and for under $20.00!

Ankle Boots

Match these fun little boots with your skinny jeans which you should already have in your closet. These are very cute and available online at FreePeople.com for $138.

Leather Jacket

This is one of the most popular items I have seen in the magazines and in stores and these
jackets go great with jeans, dresses, and skirts. I love this jacket ,this one goes perfect with jeans, skirt, and dresses. You can this online too at VictoriaSecret.com and it’s now on sale for $158.

Wrap Cardigan

These are great for the Fall weather. Add to your day outfit one of these sleek cardigans and some boots and your ready for the evening. I have seen these cardigans at Banana Republic, Express, and Forever 21.

Scarf

Dress up your tees with a draping scarf in a bright color such as red, orange, purple, or green. Forever 21 has a varity of these in different colors starting at under $10.
