Coco Chanel once said, "It's not fashion until you see someone on the streets wearing it"

So, take your KK boots to the street!

Antoinette: A Playful Platform Bootie

All you need for this pair of booties is a love for fashion and plenty of attitude! The platform makes this 3 Inch heel easy to walk in and less pressure is placed on the balls of your feet. The sturdy high-stacked, cone shape heel provides added comfort!

The Antoinette by Kathryn Kerrigan screams for shades of whiskey brown like Missoni's Zig Zag tights with an oversized, sweater dress or cardigan. Find a complimenting belt or bag and hit the city streets!

Bring on the Boots!!

From western-inspired to over the knee sassy and polished, the Kathryn Kerrigan boot collection keeps you on trend and ready for any event!


Over The Knee:
Over the Knee Boots epitomizes this year's sense of subtlety and tradition found in the fashion world. When paired with dresses and skirts, match tights or leggings to the boots. Remember, no woman is too short to wear an over the knee boot. It's all in the outfit ;)

Over-the-knee boots from the Runway by Loewe, Hermes, Hussein Chalayan, and Louis Vuitton

Western-Inspired:
For short western boots opt for the traditional denim tucked into shaft. For those that like to stand out in a crowd, pair any western boot (short, medium or tall) with a feminine, lacey dress or skirt with tights. Western boots are great for all-year wear to don't hide them in Spring!! Taylor Swift owns this trend like no other gal! Plus, we love that she wears a size 11.. Tay, let us know when you need some new kicks! ;)

heavy METAL: Hardware Details Turn up the Volume

Studded shoes instantly add glamor to any outfit! They can dress up all black ensembles, punch up a simple knit dress or add funk to your favorite skinny jeans. You will see the studs on a variety of heels, flats and boots this season. Here's how to wear this trend:

AUTUMN 2010 Must Have Accessory: SCARVES

To me September means transition - sailing smoothly from summer to fall. Scarves are a key accessory and for Fall 2010 anything goes. Hot prints include flowers, animal and plaid. Colors of choice are red, blue, mustard, military green and orange. Best materials this year include wool, cashmere and pashmina. Here are some of my favorites available at KathrynKerrigan.com and all under $25.

Left to Right: Knit Shawl Mustard, Animal Print Lightweight Shawl, Mesh Ruffle Scarf- all $24.99

Style Tips: HELEN boot

The HELEN boot is a great investment that you will wear for years with a rugged look that only improves with age. Toughen up feminine pieces like this crinkle paisley dress from Free People. Pair with Kathryn Kerrigan Black leggings and an over-sized cardigan from Target. Voila!
