WHEN THE TWO COLLIDE

This goes without saying but I'm a huge lover of FASHION...ummmm yeah lol! But I'm also an ART lover and I love to see the two collide. Check out more images at www.leesaleva.com

LACE the LEGS

It seems my FALL fashion hit list grows by the hour. FOREVER21 did me a big favor by having the #1 item on my list for $6.80. Available in TEAL, YELLOW, AND LAVENDER. BTW, these babies look hot with skinny jeans and heels!

Jump! Jump!

Jumpsuits have showed up everywhere over the last few months. The summer versions were perfect for those super hot days to romp around in. Now we are seeing a more grown-up and professional take on the look. The wool blend version from French Connection is undoubtedly sexy but can definitely work for work.

It looks great layered also...

THESE 3 THINGS

A little over a week after Hurricane Ike slapped my city luckily I'm able to get back to what I consider the norm. Here are my current 3 favorite items of the moment....oh and by the way HAPPY FALL YALL!

SHOUT wipes have been one of the best things to happen to some of my favorite tops. While feeding my face I tend to have a hole in my chin at times and these things work wonders on food and grease stains.

The New Gap

The Gap has recently had an internal makeover in hopes to get more customers in the stores. Patrick Robinson...formerly of Perry Ellis...joined the company as Head Designer recently and has brought his idea of chic,American sportswear with him. Who knows if it will help the Gap much but I must say...the stores are looking much better than I can recall in a lonngggg time.

A couple fall looks from The Gap that I'm loving...

Ruffled Plaid Shirt..$48

Super Bell Jeans...$78
Cropped Bomber Jacket...$68

Low-rise Cords...$54.50

Coco Crew?

I've been searching for a quilted bag for some time now. With the legacy of Coco Chanel attached, quilted bags have a timeless, chic quality about them that I just love. And for that same reason the price tags attached are..shall we say a bit out of reach. Marc Jacobs regularly has quilted bags in his collections but at $1,200 a pop...I'll pass. Thankfully J.Crew has captured the spirit of Chanel in it's quilted tote "Quincy". The sleek Graphite color will take you well into fall and blend well with the plums and chocolates of the upcoming season.

Quincy Tote....Avail for $278 at J.Crew

Boots Time!

Well folks...Labor Day has passed and the kiddies are pack in school. What better way to kick off the unofficial start to fall than a hot pair of boots. This pair by Blowfish are versatile enough to wear now through the winter. Pair them with your summer skirts now and over skinny jeans come winter!

The Faldo by Blowfish...avail at Delia's for $129.50
