I’m on the hunt for a pair of black boots again.   Above are by Frye ($299).

I love the exaggerated height of this Pour la Victoire ‘Malorie’ Boot($349) .

This rugged style by Golden Goose is awesome, but at $1,050.00 they might not be the best option for winter weather.

These Leoffler Randall boots are a gorgeous shape ($895).

I’m loving this MARC BY MARC JACOBS ‘Softy – Large’ Satchel.  The lining is also super cute with a dots and stars print, which keeps it from being too grown-up.

Jewelry Boxes…

Lately, I’ve been trying to be a little more grown-up about everything…so when I was getting ready to go out the other evening and pulled out a cardboard box brimming with my rings,necklaces,and all I realized it’s time to upgrade to something a little more lady-like.  So, I love the above option (the large one of course) they are from Pottery Barn, and are silver, and I love the opportunity to get anything engraved, it’s so formal!

This option is nice too, it too can be monogrammed, and it allows for greater levels of organization with all the drawers.

While browsing other options, I can across this man-box, which is perfect for man stuff.  Leo never has a designated place to stash the contents of his pockets, but this could be perfect.

Or this one from Urban Outfitters.  And there are a bunch of ones over at Anthropologie, although their website is always impossible to see anything on, so stopping into a store is probably a better bet.

I love this maison martin margiela ring.

Along come belts…

Belts are becoming ever so important now that we are back to showing our waistbands again.  I love the delicate beading on this Rachel Comey belt, available at Creatures of Comfort or locally at Vagabond Boutique.

I am fully aware that it’s still summer, but I’m already bored with flipflops and sandals (and all the maintenance of pedicures). I’m looking forward to some fall footwear.  I love the cracked finish of these Marc by Marc Jacobs boots.

I’m in dire need of a new everyday bag, and I think this one by Anna Corinna is really chic and practical.

Louise Loves… Henrik Vibskov

I’ve always had a sweet spot for Henrik Vibskov’s amazing knitwear. His fresh use of both simple and complex graphic prints is really extraordinary. While checking out the British online store, No-One, I discovered that he also designs shoes. My favorite pair are these adorable electric blue booties.

Louise Loves… Balenciaga

Nicolas Ghesquière never ceases to amaze me.  Each collection he creates is pure gold in my view, and his pre-fall line is no exception.  This time around he decide to go prep, and I love this layered sweater and shift mini look.  The brooch definitely makes the outfit, though.  After looking through the whole line, I think these square tipped booties are my favorite creations.  His shoes are always so fresh and inspiring.

While browsing Cool Hunting, I came across the beautiful jewelry of Erica Weiner.  Using an array of non-precious metals, her line features nature and antique inspired charms and trinkets.  If your in the Philly area, you can pick up one of Erica’s pieces at Vagabond.

Louise Loves…Geometric Pendants

marni_missoni_nov_9.jpg

While browsing the latest S/S 08 collections, I noticed this adorable geometric jewelry trend. I love how Missoni’s collaged interpretation fuses wooden elements with tons of bling. Marni’s clean, color-blocked version is definitely my favorite, though, because I think it’s much more wearable.
