Bop Over to Shopbop.Tell Us Your Favorite Pair of Frye Boots and Win a Gift Card!

To Our Goody GumDrop readers.
We have something special for you today! We’re giving away a $100 Shopbop.com instant gift card to one lucky commenter who tells us what their favorite pair of Frye boots from Shopbop.com is and why. Most insightful comment wins!
What’s the big fuss over Frye boots?
The Frye Company, which has been making boots since 1863, is the longest-running shoe company in the United States.
Over the years, the company has gained a cult following for its quality and versatility. Some styles, like the Harness or Engineer Boot (originally created to protect bikers from the heat of exhaust pipes), are just as likely to be seen coupled with a motorcycle as a long bohemian skirt. Others, like the Campus Boot, are considered cultural icons from the ’60s and ’70s. (Seriously! There’s even a pair in the Smithsonian.) Throughout the years, they have been paired with everything from rocker jeans to sexy minis. Frye boots can be seen on many of your favorite celebs!
But, what really matters is what you’d do with them, because if you win this giveaway, you’ll get a $100 Shopbop.com instant gift card so you can start shopping right away for your new wardrobe staple. Just tell us which pair of Frye boots is your favorite and how you’d wear them. The most inspirational, insightful comment wins! We, at A Few Goody Gumdrops know which is our favorite pair!!!! Wish we could enter!

The Perfect Poncho from Guest Blogger Thefind.com
Punch It Up with the Perfect Poncho from Guest Blogger...Thefind.com!
Ponchos are making an appearance again this fall in the form of chunky knits. Think handmade, warm and cozy. Many are a fusion of sweater and poncho that button up the front, making them easier to layer. You'll see hoods, pockets and zippers as added features as well. Look for all wool styles made with thick yarns and lots of texture in the knitted design. Or try a lighter poncho on for size; it is more like a wrap and much more fluid than chunkier styles. Go for a neutral like gray or brown that can be paired with a variety of items in your wardrobe.
On the chunkier side, from Haute Hippie is the Chunky Wool Poncho (top left, $495.00 at Nordstrom.com) with classic overtones and a cable-knit design. It has a full zip-front closure, pockets to keep your hands warm and a slouchy hood at the back. From Stella McCartney is a pricey and luxe Zip-Front Boucle Poncho (top right, $1,685 at Neiman Marcus) with oversized buttons button as an accent on the cape sleeves. The poncho is an Alpaca/linen/polyamide/wool blend and made in Italy. Helmut Lang has also done a version, all in a minimalist style of course! Helmut Lang Knit Poncho (bottom right, $260 at Saks.com) is an alpaca/merino/polyamide blend and is super soft as well as warm. This poncho also features a generous hood. From Elizabeth and James is the Olivia Poncho, (bottom left, $545 at Shopbop.com) made of moleskin this is the perfect piece for layering. Pair with a cozy cashmere turtleneck and jeans for a luxe weekend casual look.

Guest Blogger Thefind.com Is Mad For Plaid
This fall brings the English countryside as inspiration for cool weather dressing. Escape the hustle and bustle of urban living with some natty traditional plaids with a modern twist. Think hounds tooth checks, buffalo plaids, and large complex Scotch plaids. Made of natural fibers such as wool and cotton the updated plaid looks best when paired with sleek body hugging denim and fierce heels. Look for plaid jackets, dresses, and even capes for covering up. Elizabeth and James features some of the best plaid blouses adorned with their signature casual yet sophisticated style. Take your new look with you to the country for a tranquil retreat or don the plaid with boyfriend jeans for a casual look in town.
As seen on the Fall '09 runways, the Marc By Marc Jacobs "Abbey" Plaid Dress (upper left, $458.00 at Bloomingdales.com) is a twist on the traditional. The pure wool mini dress tunic has a drop waist, cowl neck, two front pockets and banded sleeves. The Fei Polaire Vest (top middle, $118.00 at Anthropologie.com) is a pretty and dramatic corset-style top with a flared peplum. This vest would pair nicely with a slim pencil skirt and platform pumps. From Smythe, a wool-blend jacket (top right, $525 at Net-a-Porter) Pair Smythe's blue tweed plaid jacket over a tank and skinny jeans for a dose of English countryside eccentricity. From Ann Taylor Loft, a sweeping and dramatic Brushed Plaid Cape (Bottom right, $148 at Ann Taylor Loft). This classic double-breasted cape is lined, has a banded collar with button closure. From Elizabeth and James (Bottom left, $245 at Net-a-Porter) a gray and cream cotton-blend plaid shirt with a distressed finish, button front and two patch pockets. Pair this wardrobe staple with your favorite pair of jeans and fiercest boots for a cool downtown look.

Parisian Puddle Jumpers Make A Splash With Guest Blogger Thefind.com
Plouf! Parisian Puddle Jumpers from Aigle
Yes, I'm a fan of Hunter Wellie rain boots, but they seem to be growing in popularity and are showing up on well-dressed feet all round town. I am looking for a new pair of unique rain boots and found Aigle rain boots that are made in France. Mais oui! These boots are a bit more fitted and I love the riding boot style that is made completely of rubber. A lovely boot to throw on with leggings and an over-sized chunky knit sweater when I'm running out the door in a hurry. These boots are tailored and becoming every bit as fashionable as the Hunter wellies. These boots are from Aigle, which provides outdoor gear to French sportsmen, equestrians and those who visit the countryside for pleasure. Yes, these are the real deal and are perfect for urbanites looking for a waterproof and comfortable city rain boot.
Retailers including Martin + Osa and J. Crew now carry Aigle boots. On the upper left is the Aigle Start Riding Boot ($103.20 at Martin and Osa), a lovely plain black riding boot that is a perfect reproduction of their leather counterparts. On the model are a pair of violet Burberry rain boots (upper right, $195 at Net-a-Porter) to show you how utterly fab skinny jeans look tucked into tall rain boots. On the bottom row far left is the Aigle Women's Bergen lace up rain boot ($207.95 at Shoebuy.com). I love the lace up fronts, which makes tucking in your jeans easier and ensuring an extra snug fit. Again in the riding boot style these two-toned Aigle Jumping Rubber Boots ( bottom row middle, $199.99 at saddlesource.com) look like traditional dressage riding boots if you are looking for the Bon chic, bon genre aka French preppy style. Lastly is the two-toned Aigle Women's Rubber Boot in Brown, ($149.00 at studentmarket.com). I love the two-toned texture of this one, a nice alternative to an all black boot, would look chic and sporty paired with tweed and a chunky cashmere sweater.

Tell A GAL P.A.L. Fight Domestic Violence!
Mira's Tahari Power Suit....Fashion For A Cause
As part of October’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month, The Allstate Foundation and actress Mira Sorvino are encouraging people to Tell a Gal P.A.L.® about domestic violence and donate women’s suits to benefit survivors.
Domestic Violence: The Facts
1.Each day in the U.S., three women die as result of domestic violence.
2.More than one in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
3.More than three out of four Americans know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence.
Domestic violence impacts the lives of women and their families. The Allstate Foundation supports survivors through resources targeted to build financial independence and educates the public on how hard it is for people to leave an abusive relationship without economic resources.
Readers can share stories of overcoming domestic violence or helping a “gal pal” in need, or send a ‘Tell a Friend’ email and enter to receive a limited edition Tell a Gal P.A.L. t-shirt as worn by Mira Sorvino!
