The Tucker Blouse Is An Injustice
This Tucker Hummingbird Nectar silk top is an injustice. WHY? Because it's perfect and because it's not mine. I should've gone into shoplifting after all.

Why Aren't I Wearing: These Two-Tone Fergie 'Amplify' Heels
I will full-on admit that I like Fergie. Well, I have a soft spot for her. She fully embraces her trannydom, she's always workin' on her fitness, she can do a cartwheel and sing at the same time, she once peed her pants in public and was like 'whatevs,' and her hair is usually fun.
Therefore, I'm NOT at all ashamed to be having thoughts about Fergie's "Amplify" heels. They're bold and transrageous, just like their namesake.
($59.99, Fergie, Piperlime.com)
($250, Current Elliott, Net-a-porter.com)I'd wear them with these Current Elliott medium wash skinny jeans (if I owned them).

Harlequin-Inspired Shoes From Alaïa & Nude Footwear
Inspired by my silk blazer purchase, I've been on a 1930s tuxedo-y menswear jaunt. Therefore I've been gazing longingly, loving at harlequin-inspired black-and-white shoes. Such as...
($129, nude footwear, Piperlime.com)
($129, nude footwear, Piperlime.com)These two-toned suede heels are kind of like a girlie tuxedo in shoe form. They're precious without being OVERLY precious and venturing into the dangerously cutesy barf zone. NEED!
($669, Alaïa, TheOutnet.com)
($669, Alaïa, TheOutnet.com)A Deco dream in bootie form. I really should just STOP looking at TheOutnet.com.
Perforated patent booties are as close to Lady Gaga as I ever want to get.
Oh, so PS, I had a wedding this past weekend, and I needed a nice blazer to wear over my dress (this Christopher Deane dress, which has now seen MANY weddings -- yes, I impulsively bought a pricey-for-me new blazer, but seriously, that Christopher Deane dress has danced with me at like five weddings as well as my own engagement party). So I ended up getting this silk-esque blazer from Topshop:
($145, Topshop)

($145, Topshop)BTW, the description says navy blue, but friends, it's black. It fits well, but when I saw it on me in a photo we (the blazer and I!) looked kinda amorphous. I'll chalk it up to the fact that I was wearing a waistless shift dress. Lesson learned -- don't wear a slouchy blazer with a shift dress and expect anything less than a net result = slouchy/ no waist look! I won't make that mistake again, but I will rock this with some yes-I-actually-do-have-a-waist outfits: t-shirts and skinny jeans and boots. YAY, FALL!

Nude Studded Heel I Need Like Yesterday

Studded, Structured, Sequined Shoes For Fall!
It's time for a... Fall shoe binge! Check these selects -- studded, structured heels and booties I'd buy if you were footing the bill.
($129, Steven By Steve Madden, Piperlime)
($129, Steven By Steve Madden, Piperlime)I know. I need more studded stuff like Kanye needs more exposure. But I can't resist these fun "Stardom" flats.
($24, Pink Footwear, Lulus)
($24, Pink Footwear, Lulus)Black oxfords = So simple, so cheap, so... something I will inevitably go back and buy in a week after much pointless deliberation, so I may as well just buy them now, right?
($585, Giuseppe Zanotti, Piperlime)
($585, Giuseppe Zanotti, Piperlime)I need more '80s throwback heels like Fergie needs more bronzer, but I can't resist these black suede eyelet-covered Giuseppe Zanottis.
($110, BCBG Girls, Dillards)
($110, BCBG Girls, Dillards)Uh, blue suede, cone heel, fun '80s grommets? BCBGirls "Border" heels = YES.
($49.99, alice + olivia for Payless)
($49.99, alice + olivia for Payless)Don't you love how Payless can get low, like Flo Rida style? These alice + olivia "Robertson" peep-toe jeweled boots are sluttastic in the BEST POSSIBLE WAY. Next stop? Bootswitdafur!

Daniblack Denim Studded Pump: Major Desire!
($175, Daniblack)Accept no imitations, unless it's straight out of a 1984 time capsule. I ADORE Daniblack's studded denim "Queen" pump.
($119, Oh Deer, Piperlime)
($119, Oh Deer, Piperlime)Oh Deer!'s studded Sweetie pumps are visually intriguing, but I bought them, wore them for just a few hours, and was rendered almost incapable of walking -- 3 1/2 inch heels aren't usually a deal-breaker, but the construction on these make them fucking crippling. More like Oh Shit! I promptly sent them back. The Daniblacks look way more comfy.

Boot Binge: Modern Vintage, 80/20 & Ayla
It's a Monday evening boot binge, everybunnies! Three brands for you -- 80%20, Modern Vintage, and the amazing Ayla!
($450, Modern Vintage, Piperlime)
It's probably for the best that these don't come in my size. I LOVE the screw detailing! Are screws the new pyramid studs??? Also, i still DREAM of these Modern Vintage heels.
($230, 80%20, Karmaloop)
You just send in your measurements and you get a ridiculously lush, luxe pair of leather boots TO FIT YOUR OWN PERSONAL SITUATION, for under $200! AND they come with spare instep liners to pad them out (I ordered a 9, even though I'm an 8 -- they fit perfectly.) Anyway the Tokyo style, pictured above, come up to just a few inches below my knee, and they ACTUALLY zip up with skinny jeans. Not lying. And again, not lying -- THEY'RE under $200. If you're not so into the criss-cross straps (too Mad Max for you?), check out the Milano -- they remind me of Coach or Cole Haan riding boots:
($189, Ayla, Shoe-Store.net)
($230, 80%20, Karmaloop)Kind of like how the more I look at my cat, the more completely perfect he becomes, the more I look at 80%20's Justine boots, the more awe-inspiring they are. One-inch heel, crinkled black leather with tan panels in an Art Deco-y design. AND a wide opening at the calf!?!? I gots the vapors! Oh, and apparently promo code FREE25 gets you free shipping, and that ain't nothin'! And again too also, the Justine boots come in Smoke too:
LASTLY but MOST importantly, you simply MUST get your legs on some Ayla boots. I own the Tokyo style seen above -- the photo does NOT do them justice -- and they're phenomworthy. They're custom made to fit YOUR size, which means no cramming/ stuffing/ shoving/ shoehorning your normal-woman-sized legs into boots the width of pencils. Seriously, Mary-Kate recently had to return a pair of boots because they were too slim and SHE HERSELF IS SLIM! I don't get it. Now I'm not such a big girl, but I do got me some soccer player calves (minus the soccer and the playing), and too often I've practically busted a YKK trying to get some tall boots zipped up. Not so with these radicational Ayla boots:

($189, Ayla, Shoe-Store.net)Oh, and Shoe-Store.net has free shipping. It's like they're practically BUYING THEM FOR YOU! (And no, I don't work for Shoe-Store OR Ayla. I'm just THAT in hearts with these boots, which are totally comfy by the way.)
($189, Ayla, Shoe-Store.net)
($189, Ayla, Shoe-Store.net)I can't even deal with how gorgeous the Manhattan boots are! It's like they WALKED out of the early '70s!
($134, Ayla, Shoe-Store.net)
($134, Ayla, Shoe-Store.net)Um, hi. These are like Frye at like one-third of the price. Now THAT'S what I call recession busting!

Fall Footwear Trend: No Toe!
Is it going to be absolutely impossible this fall to find a pair of shoes that have actually managed to escape the drawing board with their toes intact? Peeptoes have moved from sandals to pumps to boots and Oxfords to like EVERY SHOE EVER, and I'm not all that sure I'm feeling that. Observe:
($175, Corso Como, Piperlime)
These wold be totally otherwise cute(sy-ish), but again, WHY the no toe!?!?!?
($175, Corso Como, Piperlime)Why? I just don't get it! Is it that hard to go the extra 1.5 inches and cover the toe? You're not gonna be wearing these in 90 degree weather!

(Was $79, now $54, Nine West, Piperlime)So gorgeous and fun, and they look really sturdy and not painful either!
($450, Bettye Muller, Piperlime)These are actually from Piperlime's Fall preview. Normally I hate Mary Janes, but I'm all over these like Amy Winehouse on her first cigarette out of the hospital.

($335, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Piperlime)I'm inexplicably drawn to the contrast of blue patent leather and burgundy suede. It's about as much patriotism as I can handle.
