Macy's Fall 2012 Lookbook


Macy's hits all the right notes with the Fall 2012 ready-to-wear lookbook, showcasing key trends from brands like RACHEL Rachel Roy, Bar III, INC, Tommy Hilfiger and more. Peplum is coming back as you probably have noticed (love the dress above), as well as leather accents, printed denim and pops of bold color like red, rust, turquoise and mustard. I'm excited to see two collar necklaces in this lookbook (gives me some ideas on how to wear mine), bright blazers and ankle crop pants. Which pieces can you see yourself wearing?

Ask BB: Where Can I Find These Glitter-Back Boots for Less?

Have you seen a cheaper look-a-like for these beauts? (shown below) —@jenniferkailey via Twitter



Well, Jenn, it seems like the glitter-back booties you love are the look-for-less! The Aldo 'Cedrina' might have been inspired by these CO-OP Barneys glitter booties (originally $595, now sold out):





...or possibly the Matt Bernson 'Jardin' glitter boot ($218, shopbop.com):



...but you can save $20 with these Colin Stuart look-a-likes ($98, victoriassecret.com):



...or the BCBG 'Milan' bootie, which offers this look with a stiletto heel ($89.95, dsw.com):



My suggestion? Take last season's ankle boots and update them yourself with a little glitter and glue. DIY blogger A Pair & A Spare has this amazing tutorial you can follow. —BB
