With New York Fashion Week behind us. Key trends for spring flourished on the runways. It was evident that purple was a color to watch for next spring. The rich palette was present in both men and women's collections. Men's suits at Michael Kors and evening gowns at Marchesa, purple was there. I personally like purple. It has a sensual look to it. So, next spring not only we would see purple bloom in flowerbeds it will be in fashion as well.

new women's apparel collection sneak
preview in NYC
.
Piperlime, the ultimate shopping destination for shoe lovers launched their women's apparel collection online this week! An assortment of the hottest fashion trends handpicked by stylists from established and most coveted brands like Marc by Marc Jacobs, Vince, Theory and more!

You've probably seen celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe's shoe picks. Make sure to check out her apparel picks as well.
 
A sneak preview of the collection was held in New York City. 'Melrose Place' star Ashlee Simpson and actress Jamie Lynn Sigler attended the event and shop of course!

What I really like about this addition to Piperlime's already extensive footwear and handbag selection is that the new women's apparel collection is not just there for the sake of offering women's apparel. Majority of the price points are well-below the luxury mark.

The Smart Stylist's Fall Fragrance Top Picks

fallscents9.png
Miss Dior Cherie 1.7 oz $72.00, Michael Kors 'Very Hollywood' 1.7 oz $65.00, Juicy Couture 'Couture Couture' 1.7 oz $85.00, Jo Malone Vanilla&Anise 3.4 0z $100.00, D&G 'L Imperatrice' 3.4 oz $65.00

After testing 20 women's fragrance, 9 fragrances stood out and made the list of my top picks for fall. I had some criteria that put all the fragrances to the test luxurious, wearable, sensual,  feminine and opulent. If I have to pick my faves, they are Marc Jacobs 'Lola', Michael Kors 'Very Hollywood' and D&G 'L Imperatrice', all three tickled my olfactory nerve and just can't stop smelling them. I have to commend Jessica Simpson's 'Fancy Love', it scored very well beating out some luxury designer fragrances. As always, whatever season it is, wear lighter scents during the day and bolder at night.

Fall Must Have Shoe: Tall Boots

From left: Marc Jacobs Back Ruffle Boot $790.00, Nine West 'Harrington' Boot $189.00, Frye 'Carmen' Harness Tall Boot $357.95, Jessica Simpson 'Angie' Slouched Boot $158.95

Boot season is almost here. This fall, tall boots and knee high boots are right up there on the season's fashion trends. Of all the different styles of tall boots, a few made my must-have list: wedge, slouchy and riding inspired boots. Details like ruffles, harnesses, buttons and buckles are something you can look for when shopping for a pair. Of course you can't go wrong with  sleek, plain boots if worn right that is.

As far as how much you should spend on a pair of boots... well, think of them as smart investments. Keep in mind you will be wearing them during cold, rainy and snowy days. Ideally, under $200 but if you feel like splurging I suggest a pair for everyday use and another for special occasions.
