Laduree Paris in NYC

Many of you have heard of Parisian-native store that goes by the name of Laduree known for its exquisite mouth-watering macaroons, tea, beauty products and of course dreamlike decor.  Well, Laduree has FINALLY opened a location in NYC's Upper East Side.  You would think that going a few weeks after the grand opening the lines would be shorter, think again! Although, the line does move quickly and the service is great.  The only thing I would recommend, is to have a seating area which would make the Laduree experience even better.  So if you are in NYC, go grab some tasty Parisian macaroons!

Isabel Marant Suede Booties ?!


Isabel Marant for $600
My Very Own ALDO Qualheim Pair
ALDO Qualheim for $90
Steve Madden Pembrook for $129


Are these Isabel Marant Booties simply not to die for?  Comfy, with a slight heel and perfect for the fall! Not to mention that they go with almost every outfit. Unfortunately not all of us can splurge $600 on a pair of Isabel Marant Booties.  So, I decided to go on a hunt for a pair that looked very similar and most importantly affordable for my budget.  Knowing that they are an “it” item for the fall, going on a hunt for a similar pair was easy.  I purchased a similar pair from ALDO shoes for only $90 bucks - not bad at all.  Plus, they do not look cheap! I’ve actually gotten a lot of compliments on them :) many people can’t believe they are actually from ALDO.  You can also check out Steve Madden, they have a similar pair for only $129.  If you want a perfect boot for the fall, I suggest you purchase a pair!

"All Red Everything"


Red is the "It"-color for fall.  I was never really a fan of the color red - it always seemed to remind me of either Christmas or  Valentine's Day.  However, after stumbling upon this amazing red suit, I fell in love!  I've become smitten - at least for now!  It has this elegant, clean cut, sexy feel to it that makes me drool.  I gotta have it now!
