Halloween is not just a day of tricks and treats, but it’s another day for celebrities to express their inner creep all while showcasing scary costumes or naughty ones.  This year there were limited celeb sitings of Halloween costume favorites like scarecrows, witches, and vampires.  Instead, your favorite celebs opted out for the sexy bumble bee or their favorite celebrities.  Check out some of this years Boo-Fashions….

They won’t purr or lick you, but try wearing animal print shoes this fall and you just may cause the purring and licking from another species-humans.  This season pull out the cheetah printed pony skin pumps and set out for a fashion adventure.  There are many ways to pull off the look.  If you’re  feeling rebellious, then try pairing these ankle boots with black tights and a black leather cropped midriff bomber jacket.  Make sure you let the shoes do the talking and not the accessories.  Fun and flirty fall colored jeans and a pair of cheetah printed flats will also take your outfit of choice from bland to bold.  With the evolving trends in fashion, Andy says, you better catch this trend while you can!

Grammy award winning hip-hop artist, Kanye West, debuts his Spring 2012 Ready-To-Wear collection at Paris Fashion Week.  Celebrities and fashion gods were front row and center for the launch of Mr. Wests’ highly raved womenswear clothing line KW.  You are probably thinking, we do not need another rapper turned fashion designer.  I have to admit I also was a little skeptical behind the idea, but by the looks of the pieces, the new designer may have found himself another niche.

Well, I thought I was heading straight to Saks, but I couldn’t help but to stare at the women on stilts, who were actually posing by the Tory Burch, Coach, and Juicy Couture stores.  My mission to Saks was interrupted when I glanced at the Bebe store, which of course I had to stop by, I just couldn’t pass up the macaroons and cosmos!  The DJ was definitely putting me in a shopping mood – Beyonce’s “Get Me Bodied” will always do it.

As I walked up the concrete stairs and through the entrance of Neimans at the Houston Galleria I couldn’t help but to think where is everyone???  However, as I tiptoed passed the YSL section of the women’s shoes I suddenly heard music.  It was the house version of an Usher song to be exact.  That was definitely a sign of life….but on the second level!

As I glided off the elevator, one of the salesman stated the bar is to the left.  Yippee!  I picked up my maroon colored drink with a hint of yellow from the sliced lemon and headed towards the runway, which I might add, was proportionally centered between the collections of two of the greatest designers, Oscar De La Renta and Carolina Herrera.  As I continued to mix and mingle, I quickly noticed girlfriends and co-workers catching up while drinking and keeping their bellies full with chicken quesadillas and other cute little snacks.

I couldn’t stay long at Neimans, because I was on a mission to visit every department store at the Galleria, so my next stop was Saks Fifth Avenue!

Going to a picnic, to the musuem, an outdoor theater, or downtown for a little fun in the sun go BOLD.
