POINTED TOE PUMPS

My biggest style obsession for fall is pointed toe pumps. (You've already seen them here, here, and here.) They're so chic and ladylike... And there's no faster way to elongate your legs, whether you're wearing a dress or jeans. Here are twenty picks at literally every price point (seven of them are under $100!) in case you share my current obsession: 

Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps ($775) Salvatore Ferragamo platform pumps ($675) Manolo Blahnik BB heels ($595) Guiseppe Zanotti patent leather pumps ($525) Rebecca Minkoff d'Orsay pumps (cool colorblocking, $295) Alice + Olivia nubuck pumps (just bought these! $295) Pour La Victoire wedge pumps (best wedge option, $250) Club Monaco metallic pumps ($249) J.Crew Everly pumps ($245) L.A.M.B. Mary Jane pumps (that bow! $225) Marais d'Orsay pumps (good lower heel option, $170) Joan & David tortoiseshell pumps (obsessed with these! $159) Steven bow pumps ($149) Steven strappy pumps ($95) Jessica Simpson suede pumps ($79) ASOS navy suede wedges ($75) Boutique 9 point toe pumps ($65) Topshop court shoes (lots of fun colors, $65) Sole Society suede bow pumps (I live in these, $59) ASOS cross-strap heels ($50)

NEW ORLEANS FASHION WEEK

This past weekend I had the opportunity to travel with Amy, Julia, Liz, Molly and Sally to attend New Orleans Fashion Week. We had all met through various blogging events over the years but we don't get to see each other nearly enough since we're spread out across the country in Chicago, Dallas, New York, and San Francisco. Here are a few snapshots from our fun-filled weekend:

Liz and I hosted an in-store event at Haute, a cute boutique that carries Mara Hoffman, Mason by Michelle Mason, and Tibi among others. I was seriously smitten with these colorful chairs in the front of the store!

Liz and I with the lovely ladies of The Grove Street Press. 

We couldn't resist a trip to Jackson Square for beignets. We didn't have time to wait at Café du Monde (next time!) so we found a spot around the corner that was just as good. Fried dough and powdered sugar... You can't really go wrong.

Easily the highlight of the fashion week events was Camilyn Beth's first ever runway show. The 1960s styling, drop waist dresses, and ruffles galore? Girly girl heaven.

Sitting next to Julia at the show. How chic are her Valentino Rockstuds? I pretty much lived in these all weekend.

Cami's sister actually walked in the show! I think we all teared up when Cami came out and gave her a squeeze. Such a touching sister moment!

And Cami herself! It was so much fun getting to meet her and spend three whole days with my blogging buds... so much so that we're already planning our next girls' trip to an equally fun city. Stay tuned and in the mean time visit their blogs here, here, here, and here :)
