As more and more print magazines fold, bloggers seem to be growing in professionalism and media legitimacy. When bloggers such as Previously Owned and kaKofonie Of si(gh)lenS can get the scoop on international designers, you know the fashion playing field is being leveled. If bloggers can host great giveaways like Retro Chick’s, I wonder why the FTC needs to play big brother. Fashion Pulse Daily wants to know if you even care. It seems we are becoming the pretty, little websites that could. Yay bloggers!

Cape Coat

2009-11-05T14:07:00.002-05:00

I don't know if I would call this a cape, as it has sleeves, but it does have a cool, billowy vibe. I would totally want to gallop down the street on a horse just to have it flare out behind me! Buy at Intermix for the sale price of $1189.

Double Breasted Boyfriend Blazer

2009-11-05T12:58:00.000-05:00

Check it out, a 100% affordable piece of fashionable clothing, aren't you proud of me?? Buy this slouchy blazer at Old Navy for $40.

Gathered Back Cap Sleeve Tee

2009-11-05T11:42:00.000-05:00

From the front this tee looks soft and slightly fluttery, from the back you see why! This is super pretty and a pretty unique take on the basic tee, buy at Saks for the sale price of $66. Wish there were more color options!

Zipper Trim Cardigan

2009-11-05T10:37:00.003-05:00

Too much going on or just right? I like the military feel and the zipper embellishments, but the lace trim seems tacked on without rhyme or reason. You could rip it off, but it doesn't feel that over the top to mean, just kinda pointless. Buy at Bebe for $89.

Celeb Style: Tie Dye Mini

2009-11-04T16:13:00.002-05:00

While I'm not usually big on the whole west coast, styled by Rachel Zoe look, I do really like this silk tie dye mini Nicky Hilton wore recently. And luxe tie dye will be chic for spring '10, so why not buy now at Bunny Hug for about $181?

Skinny Army Pants

2009-11-04T15:02:00.001-05:00

This skinny army pants remind my of the camo pair I posted from Tory Burch back in August! But these are much more affordable, buy at Singer 22 for $138.

Asymmetrical Cut Out Back Top

2009-11-04T13:54:00.000-05:00

The front of this top is some cute, wrap front detailing, but I really love the cage-like look of the back! Buy at Rumor for $187.

Stud Trim Hobo

2009-11-04T12:44:00.002-05:00

If you're looking for a new fall bag, check out this sleek hobo by Kenneth Cole! I really like the studded trim, give the bag an edge without being so in your face. Buy for $298.

Button Front & Back Kimono Blouse

2009-11-04T11:36:00.002-05:00

I rarely wear blouses and I find them a little stiff. But this one looks so cozy and just a really cool interpretation of the regular dress shirt. The back is super fun, but the deep V probably isn't office appropriate. And since the sleeves are kimono style you wouldn't pair this with a cardigan or blazer to wear it to work, maybe a vest? Buy at She Boutique for $350.

Studded Short Boots

2009-11-04T10:15:00.002-05:00

These short boots have chic studs wrapping around the ankles in a moto / Western vibe (strange how those two are so similar and so different... though riding a horse and riding a motorcycle aren't that different... I digress). Buy at Lord & Taylor for the sale price of $200.

Label to Watch: Minimarket

2009-11-03T16:53:00.000-05:00

Minimarket, designed by Scandinavian sisters Sofie, Pernilla and Jennifer Elvestedt, is definitely an up and coming label to watch! The trio was selected by Swedish Elle and H&M to be the best new designer label of the year 2006. They say all three of them have different tastes and that blending them together into something cohesive is what inspires them. The style feels like of mix of girly retro and quirky edge - I would compare to perhaps Karen Walker or Marc by Marc Jacobs!

For fall '09 they had wedge ankle boots (covet!!), pleated tapered pants, and edgy buckle embellishments. You can currently buy some of these pieces at Revolve Clothing, Acrimony, Pixie Market and Asos, but I want MORE! Hopefully more stock will be picked up for spring because that shark top is to die for, as are their candy colored accessories. Their bright blue wedge boots are already sold out on Pixie Market, sigh.

Spike Ring

2009-11-03T13:57:00.000-05:00

This ring's spike (or pendulum if you're not inherently violent like me!) is on it's side, hopefully preventing accidental impalings! Buy for just $55 at Acrimony.

Holey Tights

2009-11-03T12:42:00.001-05:00

I so covet these holey tights!!! I am on a mission to restock my tights collection and these are so on my list. I wonder how hard it would be to put them on with getting your toes stuck! Buy at Asos for about $32.

Purple Plaid Cape

2009-11-03T11:39:00.000-05:00

Poncho style capes are great for fall, especially if you live in warmer climates! Buy this one at eDress Me for $196.

Please Don't Feed The Models Tee

2009-11-03T10:25:00.002-05:00

I'm posting this because I totally want to buy it and wear it to the next NY Fashion Week, ha. I wonder how many models will give me the evil side eye. Find at Urban Outfitters for $24.

Chain Detail Blazer

2009-11-02T15:58:00.000-05:00

If boyfriend blazers aren't your thing, this fitted one by LaRok with chain embellishment is just what you need for fall! Buy for a hefty $367 at Ssense.

Military Style Dress

2009-11-02T14:45:00.003-05:00

This dress has the same front placket styling that military-inspired coats and blazers have, buy hooray on a dress instead! I think that, since the colors are dark, this would be a stylissh way to rock the look at work, and it's only $46 at Lulu's!

Ropey Crop Sweater

2009-11-02T13:18:00.002-05:00

I really like the rope embellishment traveling about this sweater! They say it's cropped, but I feel like it would hit right below your belly button, what do you think? Buy at TopShop for $80.

Cropped Cuffed Pants

2009-11-02T12:07:00.000-05:00

Really the current pant shape is cropped, cuffed and slightly loose - you don't need to be extreme to look chic! These pants are a perfect example and are only $140 at Luv Charlie.

Tiered Corduroy Skirt

2009-11-02T10:56:00.000-05:00

Usually tiered skirts have floaty fabrics like chiffon, I don't know if I've ever seen one made with corduroy before!! Totally unique and genius, buy at Satine for $255.

Asymmetrical Drape Top

2009-11-02T09:49:00.000-05:00

Last Thursday I was in a boutique and saw a sequined version of this 3.1 Philip Lim dress - it had come in that day and was the last one already! I actually prefer this top without sequins - it's more versatile! Buy at Otte for $325.
