Fall Trend Report 2010: Back to Black

Black is always in style, its a classic go to for any girl. Season after season, we see black as a staple trend we can turn too when quite frankly we don't know what else to wear! And if you are a New Yorker, like me, then its practically a uniform.

This season black returns with pzazz! Sequins, leather, lace (see: so lacey trend), snakeskin, patent - black is only good this Fall when it's got something stand-out going on! Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns and styles of black together for a look thats anything but boring...

We like the idea of wearing black mono-chromatically with just a hint of gold here and there to break the look up. Add a solid gold cocktail ring and studded earrings to complete this look.

My New Favorite Flat! How Yosi Samra Became My New Obsession...

Feast your eyes ladies! If you are looking for a new flat that looks great and isn't ridiculously priced I have found what you need. I was recently introduced to these Yosi Samra fold-up gold flats and really have found one of my new ABSOLUTE favorite things.

I needed a new good pair of gold flats to wear to and from the office or actually at the office when I'm not feeling heels for the day and have totally ruined my Tory Burch Reva Gold Flats after two years of wearin' em to death. I really didnt want to just replace the Reva's (they really are expensive after all) but I wanted a pair of flats that were comfortable, still good quality and of course, fashionable and cute.

The Yosi Samra's are it. When I first put them on I felt like my foot was put into a little slipper. I couldnt believe I could wear something so comfortable out in public! But next, I noticed just how cute they are. The metallic leather is a gorg. soft quality and the elastic band around the inside of the flat give them a distinguishable style touch - you know they are Yosi's. I also L-O-V-E how they fold up - they fit even in my smallest daytime bags. And finally, as I mentioned the price is right! At $55 dollars I really want to buy these in every color! And I could - they come in a rainbow of colors from solids to metallics (and I'm personally eying the rose gold ones now...)

I highly, highly recommend if you are looking for a flat to pick up a pair of Yosi Samra's. You can find them here and believe me you won't regret the purchase!
