Timberland EathKeeper Boots

I wanted to share with you a great new find. Heritage brand Timberland has introduced a new collection of boots this year that are really stylish called EarthKeepers. The EarthKeeper collection are partly made with recycled materials but you wouldn't know if from the looks of them. Finding boots that are well made and will last a long time for a reasonable price (under $200) is challenging these days. Timberland has been making craftsman style boots since the 1950s. My favorite design aspect of these styles by Timberland is the mixing of leather and suede. I have a pair of the EarthKeepers Bethel Buckle Tall Zip Boot in Bitter Chocolate and I love them. The reddish brown is a really unique color and they are so comfortable and sturdy. Check out more of the Timberland EarthKeeper collection here. And the best part is Lucky Magazine and Timberland have offered Fashion Plate readers $20 off their purchase. Shown: Madison Heights Tall Boot $190, Cabot Pull On Tall Boot $200, Bethel Buckle Tall Boot $190, Cabot Biker Boot $140.

The first chill of fall is in the air in New York and has me thinking of putting my summer dresses away and heading and figuring out what I am going to wear! One of my favorite things to try this fall is colored tights with peep toe shoes.

Product Review: Havaianas

I first fell in love with Havaianas a few years ago when I was traveling in Brazil. I don't think I took them off for the entire trip. Havaianas Brazilian flip flops were originally made in 1962 (who knew they were so old!) and originally came in 8 colors. Nowdays there are upwards of 20 different styles and a ton of different colors. Some of my favorites shown here are the Havaianas Slim, Fun, Surf Girl, Fit, and Top Mix. I recently had the opportunity to try the Fit, which has an extra wrap around ankle strap and looks even more like a sandal. The matte gold is perfect for beach to dinner occasions like the Hamptons, where I will be wearing them this weekend. And you never have to worry about getting any blisters with Havaianas. I can literally walk in them for hours with no discomfort. Havaianas also has some of the most creative ad campaigns around. For more styles of Havaianas womens sandals visit their website.

Mad Men Style Inspiration

I am excited for the Premiere of Mad Men tonight. I have noticed a lot of 50s inspired fashion trends for fall. Think cardigan sets, brooches, and full skirts.
