Fashion Porn: Purple Orgy

purple orgyWhile switching my wardrobe from my summer sundresses to my winter wools, I realized one very depressing thing: my winter wardrobe is more drab and depressing than those dreary January days. If I don’t want to slip into a winter funk (fixed only by large bowls of mac-and-cheese), I need to do something fast.

And that something comes in the form of color. The color purple to be exact.

Every girl needs a little color in her wardrobe and what better way to liven things up than with something beautiful, luxurious and violet?  Historically, purple is associated with nobility, but we don’t need to be canoodling with Prince Harry to enjoy the benefits of this year’s hottest color. (Although, that would definitely help with the winter blues…) We can all look regal and faboosh, even on our student budgets.

You can work purple into your look in a big way – like a silky sheath dress – or just add little splashes here and there. Either way, you won’t have to look far to find the perfect purple pieces to lift your winter spirits. In fact, I found 16 hot ones right here. Read More »


Wardrobe Wish List: Steve Madden Intyce Boots

[I want it, I need it, I can’t live without it. There are so many things on store shelves and racks right now that we want to take home and hang in our closets. Things that are so cute, everyone should know about them. We’ll Steven by Steve Madden boots are just too cute to pass up simply because of the changing climate.

I love tall boots (Read: boots that hit just below the knee) but, because of my height, do not like high heels. Even if I do decide to wear heels, I usually end up regretting it because, well, let’s be honest–after wearing them for a whole day, your feet frickin’ hurt! For this reason, it can be difficult for me to find a suitably cute pair of boots.

But I found some!

The ‘Intyce’ boots, created by Steven by Steve Madden, are basically perfect. They feature a tiny wedge heel and come in both black, and a rich brown that Steven refers to as “cognac leather.” They have a cute, adjustable buckle detail at the top that you can show off when you tuck your skinnies or leggings into them. And if you’re missing your Uggs, you can still wear these boots this summer with a dress and not look completely ridiculous. In fact, you can wear them every season! What an investment.

Did I mention that these boots are on sale if you order directly from Steve Madden? Mhmm, they are. You also get a free subscription to Teen Vogue with your purchase! So order them now before they sell out! …I just did!
