Chloé Leather shoe boots vs Forever21 patent peeptoe


Now Showing: Another episode of “Knock-off Jungle”

Chloé Leather shoe boots have long been on my list of funky-but-kinda- weird-cute shoes, somedays i’m in love with it other days i think it hideous. Partly because usually every other white leather shoes just look plain cheap, but these are just, well you know, toocute!

Forever21 has wasted no time in copying what they think are going to be hottest hit “must have” items on the list of fashionistas all over. Oh what they’ve cooked up this time was too good not to highlight. check it out.

I still would rather get the Chloe, which by the way has just gone on sale at net-a-porter. But then again maybe not, cause now the fun is spoiled if everybody and their mama is walking around in a pair of wanna be Chloe’s. I mean apart of the appeal was their uniqueness. Anyways, I’m awaiting Forever21 next episode in Knockoff Jungle. Which should be premiering again pretty soon( as in right after the next fashion week).

Cute fashion find of the week: YesStyle.com

So I’m on the hunt for boots this fall. Nice brown/tan sexy ones to replace my favorite “makes your ass look so damn cute” boots, and usually I’d bitch and whine over dishing out $300 on a pair of boots. But oh my I love my Asian sisters for keeping it real and giving a shopaholic a price break, with this funky and inexpensive website, that offers everything form Hong Kong and Japanese deigns to Italian goods. I think I’ve found my new internet hotspot for the week at yesstyle
Angels lets all unite for this one, they seem to ship anywhere! I mean yes, they ship to places other than the USA. I’m making my list now and here’s what I’m getting:

Cuffed Suede Boots $65

Plain Cowhide Boots $165

Knit & Leather Patched Satchel $60

PS some of the stuff seems to be synthetic, but you can find good quality leather products as well.

And we do too, which is why we want to know where to get it and/or the cutest knockoff :) Lets be real, I’m not ready to dish out $700 for the original. As long as I look cute and its a great buy, I don’t care what brand it is. So if you’re like me, here’s one budget healthy choice to make.

Those boots were made for walking.

Top Fashion and Style of 2006

As we turn a page to enter the new year, lets take a sec to reflect on some of the top styles, fashions, and mistakes of 2006. And I wish that 2007 is a prosperous and sale filled year!!
Love – JaHaute!

LEGGINGS
Sienna wasn’t the only one wearing leggings all year long. Go to any mall today and you’ll pass many girls rocking some tiny jeans skirts and their leggings. I wear mine with my brown flat boots and under my shirt dresses. This style is so simple, lets hope it stays in all of next year too.

SKINNY JEANS
Oh, thank the fashion Gods! I don’t know who did it first but, also thank the Merchandising Gods for taking these off tha asses of modles and putting it in the stores, and inexpensive ones too, that are still oh so cute!

BALLET FLATS
I can’t express how freaking happy I’ve been this pass year wearing my cut little flats to the office, cause working in my industry I have to run in and out to meetings most days, and you all know sometimes I’d kill for a 3 inch stiletto but on a long day i’d rather not.

BUBBLE DRESS/SKIRTS
From the tiny mini-skirts and dazzling party dress the bubble skirts and dresses were a 2006 obsession.

VINTAGE
a. I love the days of walking around Williamsburg digging through Beacons Closet and descending to the lower level of Buffalo Exchange to Junk (which by the way, has the best selection of vintage house items!) This year not only were the celebrities wearing vintage but there were many vintage inspired styles all over.

METALLIC
This past year I’ve worn more gold than I have ever before. Gold shoes, belt, bags and heart pendant lockets

PATENT

Like the ones Cameron Diaz wore on the Ellen Degeneres show. It’s a Christian Louboutin Swarovski pumps.

Some of my other favorites are Marc by Marc Jacobs Patent Leather Platforms, $295

Seeing Shades of Grey…

Grey has never been more attractive to me than it is now. It was up there at the top of my “Hell No” list right along with black as one of my least favorite shades/color to wear. Until cupid struck my poor little fashionable heart with these cute grey booties.. it was love at first try.

They whispered to me at Eva on Mulberry St. (seriously:) And you know I’m usually the type of chica to look at a price tag before I try something on, because Heaven forbid I fall deep in love and cant afford it. This one’s price tag was $396. I immediatlty made about ten resolutions to work harder, cut back on some partying, Goddamn cut back on some food. Yes, I said it! I will starve my lil petootie for these suede booties…look at Nicole Richie, she’s still alive, right!
