If you have a moment, hop on to Ideeli and nab some of the adorable whimsical designs up for grabs today. I think these are the best examples of Marc Jacobs shoes – funny, tongue-in-cheek, and fun! I have the stitched mouse flats myself but you would do well with any of these.
Have I mentioned how pretty I think the shoes are from Beyond Skin? They have great shapes and great materials… and are animal friendly!
I personally am smitten by these brown tapestry Trixie pumps.
The bow is sweet. I think these would be pefect for my woodland Fall fantasy wardrobe.

As the days grow shorter and the dark comes earlier, I’m excited for Fall but I’m still drawn to bright blues like summer skies. I think it’s instinctual. Personally, I hate the heat but I love a bright sunny day that’s around 72 degrees. Perfect convertible weather.
These blues just jumped out at me…

I am so ready for Fall. It’s my favorite time of year. I can’t wait for tights and tweed and blazers. This year I’m influenced by dark woods and moody fairy tales. My colors will be charcoal, navy, black, creme, olive, white, and dark brown with bursts of red, bronze and burgundy.
These Pedro Garcia “Emelyn” pumps would be perfect. I love the dark colors and the black bows.
I love the raw edges but I really want to know how well these Swarovski crystals glitter under the netting. A muted glitter perfect for the dusky light of Fall.
I am really ready for Summer to be over.

These are wicked, wicked, wicked… and I love them.
How can you not love that heel?
Or are they a little too Single White Female?
I’m not sure. Maybe they are, but I still luuuuuvvvvvv them!

I’m still on the search for a great nude heel. I’m thinking patent but non-patent is fine too. Here is the latest contender – Stella McCartney’s kitten heels.
I think they’ll be great for walking and have an asymmetrical cut to the toebox (very similar to my favorite Louboutin Helumt, very feminine).
I was thinking a pump rather than a sling-back but these are pretty good. One to add to the list!

Before you splurge for Fall, read a blog or two
Edited by: Marie Denee of “The Curvy Fashionista by Marie Denee” The Curvy Fashionista.
Last week, Links à la Mode fashioned a roundup of the latest fashion perspectives and trends for the anticipation of another highly anticipated Fall. With the “September” editions landing on our doorsteps and Mercedes Benz Fashion Week right around the corner, we brace our pocketbooks for the damage it is about to endure. Whether the latest developments in plus size fashion, a Brazilian blowout, or style inspirations, this week’s links act as a guide of both inspiration and aspirations to Fall fashion. Before we delve into snatching up the latest “it” items from our secret wish (lust) list, below are a few must reads from the intuitive fashion bloggers who share their insights of what to expect from fashion, head to toe.
I’m a bit smitten with the idea of wearing wings on my feet like Hermes.
For casual – Jeremy Scott for Adidas marbled sneakers.
For everything else – Alexander McQueen winged ankle boots
I like to get inexpensive flats for keeping in my office or for walking around city streets when know they might get a bit beat up. But I also want them to be classic and cute, because I know I may need to grab them in a hurry and pair them up with a random outfit.
I usually prefer a metallic color or black and these pom pom flats from the Isabel Toledo for Payless collection fit the bill perfectly.
Cute. Simple. Fun. And only $35! Grab them while you can.
