Plouf! Parisian Puddle Jumpers from Aigle

aigle-rain-boots.jpg

Yes, I'm a fan of Hunter Wellie rain boots, but they seem to be growing in popularity and are showing up on well-dressed feet all round town. I am looking for a new pair of unique rain boots and found Aigle rain boots that are made in France. Mais oui! These boots are a bit more fitted and I love the riding boot style that is made completely of rubber. A lovely boot to throw on with leggings and an over-sized chunky knit sweater when I'm running out the door in a hurry. These boots are tailored and becoming every bit as fashionable as the Hunter wellies. These boots are from Aigle, which provides outdoor gear to French sportsmen, equestrians and those who visit the countryside for pleasure. Yes, these are the real deal and are perfect for urbanites looking for a waterproof and comfortable city rain boot.

Retailers including Martin + Osa and J. Crew now carry Aigle boots. On the upper left is the Aigle Start Riding Boot ($103.20 was $129.00 at Martin and Osa), a lovely plain black riding boot that is a perfect reproduction of their leather counterparts. On the model are a pair of violet Burberry rain boots (upper right, $195 at Net-a-Porter) to show you how utterly fab skinny jeans look tucked into tall rain boots. On the bottom row far left is the Aigle Women's Bergen lace up rain boot ($207.95 at Shoebuy.com). I love the lace up fronts, which makes tucking in your jeans easier and ensuring an extra snug fit. Again in the riding boot style these two-toned Aigle Jumping Rubber Boots ( bottom row middle, $199.99 at saddlesource.com) look like traditional dressage riding boots if you are looking for the Bon chic, bon genre aka French preppy style. Lastly is the two-toned Aigle Women's Rubber Boot in Brown, ($149.00 at studentmarket.com). I love the two-toned texture of this one, a nice alternative to an all black boot, would look chic and sporty paired with tweed and a chunky cashmere sweater.

Rock the Fingerless Glove Trend this Fall

fingerless-gloves

One of the more dramatic trends this fall is the fingerless glove. This trend is part of the glam rocker trend and coordinates well with black skinny jeans, moto jackets and studded accessories. But be careful not to go over board. Pair fingerless gloves with a leather vest, tee and jeans or with leggings and a long faux fur belted vest. These gloves are more for effect than for function, as they will probably not keep hands warm during the snowy season.

From Free People, frivolous and fun Sparkle Fingerless Gloves, (upper left, $38 at Shopbop.com). These fine knit 15-inch long gloves feature a multicolored metallic sparkle, ruching on the sides and cutouts along the outer side. Aqua's fingerless knit gloves ($45 per pair at Bloomingdales.com) come in a wide variety of colors to accent your fall wardrobe. Long knit rib cuffs can be worn rolled up or to full length. Carolina Amato's fuchsia Snappy Fingerless Driving Gloves (middle right, $41 at Shopbop.com) add a fun pop of color and perfectly accent an all black outfit. From Rochas a pair of Fingerless silk crochet gloves (bottom, right $545 at Net-a-Porter) gives a homespun vintage Victorian look to the fingerless glove trend. Portolano's Nappa Fingerless Gloves in black (bottom left $150 at Saks.com) are more like a gauntlet than a glove because there are no holes for the fingers. These 9-inch luxe fingerless gloves are lined with silk.

The Power of Purple

 
Purple is shining bright this fall. The wine colored hue looks fabulous on almost any skin tone. Be it violet, lavender or berry I am loving this color for fall. It reminds me of the fall grape harvest in Napa Valley, only an hour's drive away! These purple frocks and accessories are ready to harvest. Don them for fall and you'll look amazing with this versatile hue that can be paired with black, grey or white. 

Give your LBD the evening off with this one-shouldered berry hued dress, "Ruby Rox" Satin Dress ($79.00 at Macys.com). Is it a cuff or a watch? The belt-style purple watch from Marc by Marc Jacobs ($250 at Net-a-Porter) has a hidden watch and is a fun accessory for keeping you on schedule. Stand out from the typical black leather jacket with a Washed Leather Biker Jacket from Doma ($620 at Net-a-Porter). Steve Madden's purple platform cut-out bootie ($90.00 at Piperlime.com) is a fun shoe to add a splash of purple to your wardrobe.

Cinch Your Fall Look With A Wide Belt

wide-stretch-belts
A wide belt can be one of your most versatile accessories. Cinch up a flouncy dress or liven up a jumpsuit. We love these black and gold wide belts. Ranging from 3 to 4 inches wide, these belts create a corset effect by defining the waist. Black and gold looks stunning with this season's jewel tones and can be paired with black ankle booties or platform pumps for fall. 

The 'Ecote' concentric belt ($28.00 at Urbanoutfitters.com) touts rows of metal discs for an appealing contrast of metal on black. The extra wide Motif 56 black 'Fiona' belt ($99.99 at Bluefly.com) has the luxe appeal of woven and gold stitched leather to create a head-turning corset effect. A stunning value for the price, the lurex pinstripe stretch belt is an inexpensive way to transform a dress you already own into something spectacular ($19.50 at Ardenb.com). The Streets Ahead studded belt in gold is on trend and a true statement accessory for your fall wardrobe. Add a hint of heavy metal with jeans, dresses and coats with the 2-1/2" wide leather belt accented with three rows of metal pyramid studs backed with suede.

Go Natural with Summer Straw Accessories

Nothing says easy breezy days of summer like light and natural accessories. Straw, raffia and natural rope add a natural touch to accessories like totes, espadrilles, hats, belts and even jewelry. Toss a straw tote over your shoulder along with your beach towel, and sunscreen and you're ready for a day at the beach. For a unique tote, colorful ombre shading adds a fresh take to an over-sized straw tote from Plaza Too.

To up your poolside style factor, a wide brimmed straw hat and sweet wedge espadrilles will add instant glam to your basic black bikini and tunic cover up. For a bit of luxe raffia trend inspiration look to Stella McCartney's straw raffia clutch and Wink NYC's raffia bangles.

Wide Brim Womens Hat, $16.99 at Tilly's Nantucket Tote Espresso Natural Raffia, $75 at Plaza Too 

Rebecca Taylor Sand Wedge Wrap Heel Espadrilles, $49.99 at Amazon
