Ankle Booties at Target

The amazing shoe selection at Target is not breaking news. Recently though I made one of my weekly Target trips and wandered into the shoe section. I was amazed by the number of amazing ankle booties they had in stock. Everything from chelsea boots to heeled booties is currently on their website. Here are some of my favorite for this season.

Fashion Icon: Iris Apfel

"There is no road map to style. It's about self-expression and above all, attitude." -Iris Apfel

Iris Apfel

Iris Apfel, 94, has style no other. She put together some of the most exquisite outfits by pairing stacks of $4 bracelets from the streets of Harlem and one of a kind Valentino. There is absolutely no one like Iris. The owner of what is considered the greatest collection of couture costume jewelry, she has been at the center of one of the biggest shows the MET has ever hosted.

Iris

After a long period of waiting, her documentary, Iris, is finally on Netflix. She loves her collection almost as much as she loves life. Everyone from Jenna Lyons to Linda Fargo absolutely adore Iris. It is obvious that she never wears a bad outfit. The film is inspiring because she shares her positive outlook on how her exquisite outfits make her feel. She says she never felt pretty but to her that never mattered because she had style and that is more important. After watching, I wanted to go out and start a collection of my own; Iris started hers at the age of 11.

Rainy Day Essentials

"One day it started raining, and it didn't quit for four months." -Forrest Gump

Everyone on the east coast totally understands what Forrest meant. Hurricane Joaquin has caused me to wear rain boots everyday for the past week! Luckily, I love my Hunters and Bean Boots. Having adequate rain gear is essential, and it's also essential that it's fashionable. Whether you're a college student walking to class or just someone who has to go outside this weekend, here are my essentials for any rainy day.
