Fringe Benefits: Kourtney Kardashian's Dolman Sleeve Top, Cutoffs and Ankle Boots Look for Less

Kourtney Kardashian's dolman sleeve top, denim cutoff and black ankle boot look
Kourtney Kardashian was snapped taking her kids to a park in Malibu wearing a casual boho look that's chic yet practical (depending on where you live) - her dolman sleeve top with fringe detail is loose and feminine while her denim cutoffs add edge and show off her legs. The black ankle boots take this look from summer to fall and a low heel means you can be comfy on your feet, too. (I'm very proud of the budget version we found that's just $25!)

The Macy's Fall 2015 Ready-to-Wear Lookbook Involves Fringe, Ponchos and a Fox Sweater

Macy's Fall 2015 Ready to Wear Lookbook
While many brands seem to be struggling to reinvent themselves this fall (J.Crew, cough, Abercrombie), Macy's seems to know their girl - and what she wants to wear. For the vixen, there's Thalia Sodi, offering items like a mixed leopard print wrap dress ($89.50), or gold lame top ($59.50) with a cropped jacket (($89.50) and gold brocade-print skinny jeans ($59.50). For the woman who loves classics, there's Charter Club, bringing back the fox sweater ($59.50), or a camel-striped poncho ($199) paired with checked ankle pants ($69.50). Style & Co. is wagering you'll swap your usual leggings for moleskin ones ($42.50) while INC International Concepts has my favorite look, a chunky stripe sweater with fringe detailing on the sleeves ($89.50) paired with patchwork jeans ($89.50). Take a look at all the images below - what girl will you be this fall?

Spot the Real: Steve Madden 'Lauuren' Lace Up Bootie

Can you spot the real Steve Madden 'Lauuren' lace up boots?
There's something infinitely cool and romantic about a heeled lace-up boot such as Steve Madden's 'Lauuren,' with their Anthropologie vibe of a modern-day mix of Little House on the Prairie meets Victorian era heroine. Maybe I'm reading too much into these, but they're definitely stylish - and wearable. The Steve Madden pair costs $130 (down from $160) at nordstrom.com while the look for less is just $40 (in blue, tan or black)...and might I add it looks great in real life, too.
