First it was the leopard and now it’s lace — the DNA blog is filled with feminine detailing today. If leopard print doesn’t fit your fall wardrobe maybe cream and black lace Bass Beatrix ankle boots will.

If you’re feeling edgy but want a dash of femininity, Bass ankle boots are your go-to for a grunge chic look. Balance out the cream and black boots with leather pants, a white blouse, and a peak-a-boo leopard bralette. Make the outfit pop with a neon pink Cambridge satchel accented by a rose gold and tortoise Michael Kors watch and Karen Walker sunnies.

Vintage-inspired with a few delightfully modern updates, the Bass Beatrix ankle boot makes an adorable impression with your all-weather favorites.

tasseled heels

Stars love tasseled heels

One of our favorite summer trends is tasseled heels. Spotted on stars like Kristen Bell and Blake Lively, this off-the-runway trend has been quickly spreading over Hollywood. We love the tasseled heel, a new and creative way to add more detail to a shoe. We’re over studs, cutouts and hardware; it is now all about the retro glamor of tassels. The stand-out tasseled heel of the season is the Jeffrey Campbell Ripple high heel sandal.

At four-and-a-half inches high, the Ripple embodies style through and through. Featured in both brown and nude luxury leather, this sandal adds understated glamor to any outfit. It has a very thick heel, which allows you to be comfortable even though they are extremely high. The Ripple sandals can be paired up with a simple pair of jeans or a cute summery dress. They are casual, so you can look stylish and fabulous every day. For that fresh and vintage summer look, get on the tassel train, and go for the Jeffrey Campbell Ripple.
