Classic wedges: when you just need a little lift in your step, classic wedges are a great alternative to stiletto heels or knee high boots. Pops of color are huge this season for fall and winter, so don’t be shy to brighten up your feet with a nice shoe.

Chopped hair: Miley Cyrus perfected the scandalous hair style when she surprisingly chopped off her long locks earlier this year. Not sure if I could ever go this drastic with my hair, but when done right it looks edgy and fantastic.
