Fashion Friday: These boots (and booties) were made for walking...


Besides the caramel, we have another reason we really heart the Fall.... 
Beautiful, breathtaking boots! 

Ohhh, to put the flip-flops away and be forced by Mother Nature to put on sensible footwear is not a pity but a joy! But lets show you what the Things-We-Heart girls think of as sensible, here are just a few of our fave-fall-footwear. 
(say that 5 times fast) 

Lets begin with the newest trend of the fall, over-the-knee boots!! Yes!! We really love them, although we are a little afraid to jump into the over-the-knee swimming pool, these Twelfth St. By Cynthia Vincent beauties look like the perfect way to get our feet wet.. 

The sturdy heel and taupe color of the Lindy Over-the-knee boot make them soft and wearable. Skinny-skinny jeans and a loose white T will keep you looking super casual and amazingly cool. 

Another style this Fall that we are hearting is the cut-out booties. 
This is a style we can really imagine wearing day and night! 

We are going gaga over these booties by Rosegold
They are like Miss Me's high school dream shoe... A mary Jane mixed with a Doc Martin, So perfect for the return of Grunge. 
Throw those on with some tights, a baby doll dress and a boyfriend cardigan and WOW. 

OK, now we can say it over and over again... And some people just may not get it... But THESE are the reason Marc Jacobs is still in the top 3 of of famous "Fake Boyfriend" list! (We will not give the order, but Jonathan Adler and Edward Cullen are also part of the club)
Seriously, did Marc really make a simple black suede boot... With a ruffle seam? 

In the words of Rachel Zoe... "I die, I die, I'm dying, I died" 
Seriously. 

God damn you Loeffler Randall, you do it to us everytime! 
This lovely Camilla boot is just another winner in Loeffler Randall's endless stream of deliciousness. 

Platform boot with a wooden heel and adorable rounded toe. 
You can get them in black or grey. 

Or if you are a lucky, lucky lady... Both! 
(If I were a rich girl, nah nah nah nah na na na....)

We kind of think that because these are brown it takes the "Street Walker" edge off of these boots. 

Although, rocking them with no tights is a pretty bold move. We would wear them with tights and a mini dress and a shrunken boy blazer. 
Thanks to Joie for these beautiful Twiggy boots. We think these may be the over-the-knee winners in our book. 

From the dynamic Duo of all things fashion, Mary-Kate and Ashley, 
Come these SUPER made to lust after booties, well truth be told, they are more of an oxford, but we heart them so much we couldn't resist! 

From the twins line Elizabeth and James come these really beautiful Venice booties. These would look so pretty with black tights a pretty white mini dress and a grey cardi... 
I guess you can tell that the Things-We-Heart girls have a uniform of sorts going on with our tights, mini-dress and cardigans... But trust us, it works every time! 

Every once in a while a bootie comes along that sort of tells all the other bootie to sit down and recognize. 
 
Readers, we would like to introduce you to the Belle by Sigerson Morrison tie back wedge in black suede. 
And yes, 


They have a bow detail on the back. Done and done, soooo delicate and lovely. 

On the other side of the boot spectrum are these not delicate, but super bad-ass Kors plaid Stream boots. 


Sort of like a super sexy and feminine mountain girl... Or perhaps a resident of Forks, Washington, who has a dreamy vampire for a boyfriend and has to spend her days in the grey cloud banks hiding from the sun... Hey we are just saying. 

Throw on your skinny jeans and a vintage T-shirt and you are ready for anything this Fall! 

You know those adorable paper-bag-waisted trousers you have been seeing around? Well take a look at these paper-bag-ankle booties from F.B.F (fake boy friend) Marc Jacobs! 

These boots would look amazing with any of your go-to Fall outfits. 
They are so classy but easy and the nice sturdy heel makes them super day to night! 

We know this is not a boot, or a bootie... But we so fell in heartsville with this head piece from Ann Demeulemeester that we had to put it up today... Plus wouldn't it look beautiful with some pretty boots? 

We hope you are as excited for Fall boots as we are!

Fashion Friday: Love Lace


It is so Madonna, we know.... But you knew it was gonna come back around. Lace is one of those things that can be so girly, but at the same time really bad-ass. The perfect combination! 

Like this black lace kimono style mini dress from Kite & Butterfly. So sweet and sexy, the sheer arms make it a little naughty. 

But not as naughty as these... WOW! Givenchy has done it again with these super sexy lace booties. Hmmm my birthday is only 10 days away. 

Now here is everything sweet that we love about lace, sheer one shouldered white dress with an aqua blue belt? Done and done. 

From the back and from the front, this Alice & Olivia dress is just stunning. 

This scarf from Yarnz is so 100% both Miss Me and Miss t.w.h that we may have to share one. 
Because how can a girly-girl-tomboy-girl not want to throw this on with skinny jeans, converse a loose white T and an army jacket? Really, that is the dream outfit. Just the right amount of girl. 

You know the invitation you just got for your cousin's wedding? You don't really want to buy a dress because you will never wear it again, but you don't have a thing that is appropriate to wear to a grownup daytime garden wedding... Your closet is full of mini dresses and slip skirts! 

Well, consider your problem solved! You're welcome. This stupidly stunning, sophisticated and sexy pencil skirt from Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent is the answer to our prayers! 

Demure enough to wear around the grand parents and in-laws, but fashionable enough to still feel like yourself! 

Did we say demure? Yeah well there is nothing demure about these INSANE lace leggings from Kova & T.... Grey lace stirrup pants? Yes please we will take two pairs for when one gets dirty. Would it be possible to replace our skinny jeans with these in our T-W-H girls uniform... I think so. Lace pants and studded Converse high-tops? Madonna 1984 here we come!! 

Did my beautiful partner already put this up? I believe she might have in her reptile print post... But I saw it, I loved it, and the reptile print reminded me so much of lace I had to do it. 
This sassy little mini dress from Thayer is another wedding inappropriate item we can add to our closet. Yummy! 

These are some examples of how designers were showing lace on the runway this year... 
Catherine Holstein, Verrier and Diane Von Furstenburg from left to right. 
Love, love, love the way Catherine Holstein styled the lace jumper with the black trench cardi and the beenie! That is just what I mean about bad ass lace. 

Go grab yourself some lace.
