Tommy Hilfiger Bennington Duck Boots walked the 2010 fall/winter runway and I love them!!!!  I have to say that I owned a pair of Sporto duck boots when I was a kid.  I believe that mine were green, but these are not your typical "old school" ducks.......these are vamped up-Preppy-hot-collegiate-Massachusetts-Hunter!!!!!   I mean 5" HEELS with RUBBER.........CRAZY AND BRILLIANT!!!!!!   Gosh I can't wait for fall.......oh and please rain!!!!  I can see myself wearing these Ducks with skirts, sweats, jeans, and shorts......style with anything.....What could be more unexpected then to pair these Ducks with something more formal like a fancy skirt or sheath dress???..Now, I realize that not everyone will be embracing this style but if you do then check out some of these options...........a lower heel may be more wearable.

I love love Chloé...............and this season's designs did not disappoint..........very 70's to early 80's with a touch of Sound of Music!  Chloé house is very talented at being able to strike a balance between masculine and feminine influences.  This seasons colors are very neutral; lots of tans, taupes, camels, black, beige, greys and mixes of tartan jacquard prints.........fabulous and very fall!  This collection features lot's of men's high-waisted trousers paired with flowey silk blouses, fitted cigarette pants, and lots of suite combinations......not to forget the beautiful knee skimming cocktail dresses.  I have to say that I would love to own and wear every piece in this collection........................unfortunately I can't...............I have been looking for less-expensive alternatives and below are some viable options.  Amy Astley of Teen Vogue captured how wearable and relatable Chloé fashion is to women by saying, "Chloé.......designs real clothes with the right amount of fashion".
