Fashion's Night Out: San Diego

Haha just kidding! It was dark in San Diego last night and if there were any FNO celebrations scheduled for SD they were definitely put on hold. But hey! It's officially Fashion Week! We should be celebrating! (Plus, the lights are back on)

So in honor of our dark night, here's some mysterious fall looks you can try on when attending your fashion week festivities.

Alexander Wang; Chanel; Christopher Kane

One bright side to the power outage: there were so many stars in the sky!

Think I'm In Love

You know that feeling you get when you see an extremely attractive guy, how your brain goes all fuzzy like wrackspurts are invading it and everything around you just stops? Well, I got that feeling today. Only, there was no (straight) man in sight. No, it was in the shoe department of Nordstrom where I, Lindsey, fell in love with the most beautiful pair of Miu Miu boots.

Earlier today when making my shopping list for fall I wrote in big letters: LOOK FOR TIMELESS PIECES WITH SPECIAL EMBELLISHMENTS AND DETAILS. Well, friends, I have found that piece! Shall I describe these boots to you? Black, knee-high suede boots. Two inch heel. They seem pretty nondescript at first glance. You nod at them and think, okay, these boots are alright, but nothing special.

BUT THEN...you notice the heel. Dozens of tiny clear crystals bedazzle the chunky heel. These boots, these seemingly plain boots, suddenly become extraordinary. This tiny adjustment to plain jane boots makes them magical. They are still seasonless -black, my darling, goes with everything, you know- but those tiny jewels give a perfect touch of glamour.

I am already counting the days until these bad babies go on sale. Also, the "Miu Miu Boots or Bust!" savings fund begins now.

Living the Dream

My girl crush on Hailee Steinfeld has only grown tenfold after seeing her gorgeous ad campaign for Miu Miu's fall 2011 collection. While I was unsure of how well-suited Hailee was for this collection -the clothes seem a bit too mature for her- the pictures are stunning. Especially the more candid shots. I am so envious of her right now! She is just too beautiful!
