Katie Holmes wears New York & Company City Style Plaid Trench

I haven't been much of a fan of Katie Holmes' latest baggy looks as she's been photographed on her daily rehersals for her play in NY. But today, I'm blown away by her put together look with skinny jeans, boots, and this stylish New York & Company City Style Plaid Trench. And guess what? It's on sale for only $52.46 (was $74.95). It's the perfect little pick me up for your new fall wardrobe.

The Succulent Jewelry of Prismera Design

I'm loving the nature inspired jewelry of Prismera Design. Each piece comes in either Steel or Gold. Pictured clockwise, Geranium Necklace in Steel ($66), Rosemary Earrings in Steel ($106), Sedum Necklace in Gold ($75), and Mimosa Earrings in Steel ($70).

In celebration of Primsera's newest collection, Noctiflora, designer Laura Su is also offering a free necklace, made of platinum gray pearls on a 18” sterling silver chain, with any purchase! (For the month of September, until supplies last.)

My Boyfriend's Back

Is it true? Has Katie Holmes brought back into fashion baggy rolled up cuff jeans? We'll know more in the months to come. But in my opinion, no one wears blue jeans better than Jennifer Aniston, here sporting a pair of rolled up Boyfriend jeans begging us all to take a second look at these comfy fashion statements. She knows proportions well, adding a sexy grey form fitting tank with a wide belt for her jeans.

Regardless, if you like this retro baggy look or not, I do admit that I love these Current/Elliot Boyfriend Jeans ($229 at Singer 22). I was never one for the ripped/distresed look, but it really works here!

Cut it Out

Cut out booties have been a hot trend this spring and it will continue into the fall as well. These Pour La Victoire Sacha Gladiator Booties at $314 (at Shopbop) are a great way to update your wardrobe for a night on the town. I love them in both grey and black.

Here are more cut out booties found at Shopbop:

Belle by Sigerson Morrison Open Toe Wedge Bootie ($375)

KORS Michael Kors Promo Open Toe Ankle Bootie ($320)

L.A.M.B. Portman Open Toe Bootie ($475)

Tashkent by Cheyenne Collette Gathered Ankle Bootie ($656)

Colorblock Tunic

This colorblock tunic ($29) by Twelve by Twelve gives a fresh modern take on the typical black dress with the layers of color. Pair it with black tights or jeans and you have an instant outfit that's quite a steal.
