katieparks asked: Hey Girl! So I am on the hunt for a good leather bag. One that I can spend a bit of money on that will last me a long time. I can spend around $300 and preferably want black. I don't like a lot of buckles/embellishment and love buttery soft/textured leather. I am in love with A.Wang but who am I kidding? I can only troll eBay for so long before settling for something else. Hope you can help!

atalossforlife asked: I know it's not "answer your questions Tuesday", but I am desperate! I have been agonizing over finding the perfect black leather (or leather-like) chelsea boots. I have found several pairs I love, but they are a bit out of my price range at full retail. I keep almost buying them, but I can't quite bring my self to hit the "purchase" button. I am frugal to a fault!...

strangelydetached asked: Could you possibly recommend a really good chunky infinity scarf that's under $60? I really like the look of them as a statement piece. And lets be honest, I can't knit to save my life.

The colour is a deep red/maroon, preferably in a straight/ skinny leg and low rise. Price limit would be under $100. Your help to find something like this would be greatly appreciated :)

Anonymous asked: Brown and black, people seem to be breaking the old rule does this apply to dark blues (like a deep navy) and blacks too? Also I'm curious-any big fashion petpeeves? What trend do you love this season and which do you think we could live without?

Anonymous asked: Hi Sara! Loving your blog, but what else is new? I'm here because I'm having some trouble wearing a pair of shoes that I love but would have never purchased had they not been $18.50 at Buffalo Exchange. Anyway, I'm really wondering how to wear a pair of women's Nike Blazers (in black, grey, and purple) in a way that is tasteful for a young adult woman and not a rebellious...
