For today's blast from the past, we're looking to the fall of 2011, when Beyonce rocked a red jacket with a leopard scarf, skinny jeans and brown lace-up ankle boots. I love the combination of rich, warm fall colors from her jacket and scarf, balanced out by neutral basics like her essential white shirt (try this one) and skinny jeans. Queen B amps up her look with high heels, but you could just as easily wear this look with riding boots or a low ankle boot. And if red isn't your color, try a fall-friendly burgundy instead (love this jacket). However you customize this look, make sure you snag this leopard scarf - it's a must-have you'll reach for season after season.

New York Fashion Week's runways showed tons of embellishments, accessories and accents, proving that contrary to the recent minimalist trend, this is definitely the year of 'more is more' in fashion. Here Hilary Duff flawlessly demonstrates how to balance both maximal and minimal style aesthetics by pairing Laurence Dacade 'Pete' Embroidered Velvet Ankle Boots ($990) with a navy sweater, dark skinny jeans and a warm brown bucket handbag. To top off the look Hilary wore trendy flat-lens sunglasses and a large gold ring on her middle finger. I live for these boots. The detailing, the materials, the silhouette — every aspect is amazing, except for the price tag. Read on to shop my finds including two comparable pairs of ankle boots to get Hilary's look without breaking the bank.

For today's Throwback Thursday look, I went back to the start of 2014 when Cameron Diaz made an appearance on Good Morning America to promote her book 'The Body Book' wearing a casual yet polished outfit that definitely showed off her credentials in the best way. The actress-turned-author paired a plaid shirt with a tan blazer, dark-wash skinny jeans and black high-heel ankle boots for the occasion. I wanted to recreate this ensemble because it's a look that can work for so many fall functions, from the office to the weekend...and something tells me this would be especially cute for teachers, as we're in back-to-school season! I found the perfect flannel at Joe Fresh and then brought the look into 2016 by updating the jeans to a pair of raw edge hem jeggings from Express. Ankle boots from DSW's new Mix no.6 line and a suede bag by Merona finish this look for less, which can be yours with finds starting at just $11.70...
