Any recs on how to pull off the skinny jean/pant look with boots if you are pear shaped? The suggestion for pear shapes is to normally wear bootleg jeans to balance a pear out, however that does not work well with boots.
Man, no offense to whoever gave you that advice but blah I do not agree. Just because you have a curvy bottom half...

Red Instead
This is honestly one of the best dresses I’ve ever owned. I want to wear it every day and it never feels old. Sophisticated with just the right amount of sexy, I could throw it on for any occasion..office with a cardigan, out to the bars, fancy dinner, taking a shower..
I love the combo of the turquoise clutch with the red dress- it just works somehow. Holiday parties beware, I will...

I’ve been forever searching for a great work bag. Something large enough to toss in papers, books, laptop, whatever. I know you did a feature on this before, but over the shoulder totes just don’t cut it for my Chicago bike commute.

Christmas Creep
So this is an actual book. As awesome as this title is I love the small print at the bottom stating “Author of If God Loves Me, Why Can’t I Get My Locker Open?”
I couldn’t have asked for a better joke gift. Or you know, give it to someone for real if they.. need practice or help getting their locker open.
Anybody Can Be Cool book, used from $1.50 at Amazon here.

I tend to gravitate towards weapon inspired prints, not sure why because it’s not as if I didn’t tremble like a 3 year old when I held an AK 47 recently. But maybe that’s a good thing..
Anyway I love scarves, who doesn’t? Depending on how you tie them can transform your look into something completely new and different. This would make a great gift for your brothers...

If your fashionable sister is crazy about watches but doesn’t have her own or has had the same one for years, this would be a great piece to get. If you want to buy the most on trend watch- go for a boyfriend style in rose gold. For under $50- you can’t go wrong!

Can you help me find a comfortable stylish rain boot that matches multiple coats/looks? No more than $70
When it rains, it pours! The best way to avoid major club foot in your wellies would be to invest in a good pair of wellie socks. You can find solid pairs here or here. Since most rain boots are made from rubber it can be tough to find a comfy pair....

Dear Hunter Style,You recently posted about cape coats, which I am obsessed with yet don’t own!!!! A serious dilemma. I am in love with the Oatmeal Buckle Cape from Dorothy Perkins but it’s out of stock. I really like the neutral color on this one, it’s 60% wool so it may actually keep me warm while looking stylish, and it has longer sleeves...

Lately I’ve been walking into stores that I normally don’t shop at (not because I don’t like the store but I just never shop there). On certain days when I wander into the Michigan Avenue Nordstrom Mall I’ll check out what Armani Exchange has. This skirt immediately caught my eye. The colors in person are awesome and it’s the perfect “floral” skirt for...

This gift would be amazing because it’s something your friend would never buy herself but secretly really wants. If she can’t justify dropping MONEY on a spacey silver clutch, well heck, you can.

Believe it or not I found this silky jacket blouse at Forever 21. I love having something very effortless in my closet that will spruce up my outfit when I just want to wear jeans and a tee. Since lately the weather has been a tad depressing I felt like dressing in a more muted palate but I can’t help but think it has a 70s vibe to it. The good news? Most of what I’m wearing is...

Dear Hunter Style,
I’m searching for a classic black boot. Something simple yet versatile with different outfits, so I can wear to work (in an office) or on the weekend with leggings and an oversized sweater. I love Corso Como’s Rocky boot in black. Any ideas on where I might be able to find something similar to the Rocky boot?
Ah, the classic riding boot. Can’t go wrong on this one....

Pumpkin Wars
Typical city girl- showing up to the farm in a dress and heels. I’ll give myself some credit though since I grabbed the cowboy boots instead. It’s a good thing too because we basically entered into a pumpkin patch war. It was a gory battle where the fat got slaughtered and the small were left for dead. Glorious.
