UPDATE: As of 11:45 pm ET last night, the "Rachel" was in the lead by just 1 percentage point, so that's what I bought! Thanks to everyone for voting, I love reading your comments too. I'm planning on wearing the "Rachel" with a lavender BCBGeneration mini dress for my bridal shower in a couple weeks, I think the wedge will work well with the short length and the color will be just perfect paired with the bright, ruffly dress. I will take pics and share either here on the blog or on my Facebook page. xoBB




Ladies, I need your assistance please. Which shoes should I buy from Sole Society this month? It's the 5th of the month and I have until midnight to make my selection or skip this month. If I don't make a decision, Sole Society will charge my credit card $49.95 which will become a credit in my Sole Society account and can be used up to 12 months. It's not do or die, but I could use a nudge to help me make up my mind. Thanks! xoBB

During a quick trip to Walgreens this afternoon, I spied 5 new limited-edition styles from Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips that are perfect for Halloween. There's Hot Wired, a slime green with black barbed-wire design; Wishnets, a blood red with black fishnet design; Ghoulie Girl, a black background with orange and white ghosts; Numbskull, a black and white skull-and-crossbones design; and Spun for You, a metallic silver with black spiderwebs. For about $10 a pop, these nail strips are just about the cheapest, easiest way to get in the holiday spirit or just accessorize your fall looks with something fun and edgy. I'll probably go back for Wishnets or Spun for You, which will look drop-dead gorgeous with a little black dress and red lipstick. Which style is your favorite?

If you're looking for the perfect transitional piece of outerwear to take you from summer into fall, look no further than the cape. This style showed up on many of the fall 2011 runways, and the latest versions are really wearable for everyday - toss one over a button-down shirt and relaxed jeans for the weekend (see J. Crew), pair with a school-girl chic striped sweater and frock for work (DKNY) or rock a dramatic cape with black leather leggings and edgy boots for a night out (Rag & Bone).
