FASHIONANDCOOKIES.COM - another great fashion blog with a style that I really admire!

I stumbled across this fashion blog recently, fashionandcookies.com, and really liked some of the looks this woman put together.  Classy yet she mixes pieces so creatively!  I thought I'd share a few of my favorites here.

My favorite look comes first.  While I really like the orange cardigan and the slouchy black beanie from Asos, it's the over-the-knee boots that really make this outfit.   She stated that the boots were from B and H and from what I can find, they're from this Italian retailer called B and H Shoes. Simply stunning!





Again with the same beautiful B and H boots, but this time paired with a whimsical print skirt.  I also thought that the top part of her outfit really lent itself to some long leather gloves.


A very tailored skirt suit look accented with some nice jewelry to accentuate the turtleneck and accessorized very nicely with a large black leather bag and black leather knee-high boots.


A cozy-looking whimsical sweater pairs nicely with skinny jeans and these very rich-looking suede boots.  The beret, gloves, and big red bag accessorize this look beautifully!


Another whimsical sweater looks great paired with black leather-look leggings, ankle boots, and a nice envelope clutch purse.


I've always thought it's hard to go wrong with a classic style jumper dress and knee-high boots!


A great take on the classic "black leather jacket and jeans" look.  The stocking cap, scarf, and large bag are great accent pieces, too.

Nice "leather look" in Yahoo! article on luggage

This recent article on "The Luggage Police Are Watching..." caught my attention more for the nice stock photo used than the actual article content.

A tight brown leather jacket AND over-the-knee boots.  Not sure how practical is it for travel, especially removing that tight jacket and tall boots to go through security, but the tight leather jacket and skinny jeans tucked into OTK boots is one of my current favorite looks!

I rediscover a favorite fashion blog!

I recently rediscovered one of my favorite fashion blogs, lovemaegan.com

Besides the fact that she is just gorgeous, she puts together some incredible looks  This page features one of my favorites: http://www.lovemaegan.com/2011/02/and-i-found-it-there-in-your-heart.html

The long cardigan sweater paired with a turtleneck, jeans, and over-the-knee boots is one of my favorite cool weather looks!  I have to admit, the boots are real stunners, and she indicates they're by Matiko and the style name is "Cadie."  No longer available via the regular retail channels, I bet a pair shows up on eBay now and then!





She also has these boots in taupe!

Thanks for the great style inspiration, Maegan!
