There is only so much interest you can add to a shoe before the design feels overburdened. The knot is a classic and versatile accoutrement much beloved by shoe designers of all stripes. Community member the Budget Babe is working to find alternatives to Diane Von Furstenberg's Love Knot Sandal (we say at $240 just go for it) but once we saw the knotted designers we were off on a shopping spree. Fendi's Runway Metallic Cage heel has subtle knot detailing on an otherwise unsubtle heel and the Dior Samourai Japanese Knot Platform Sandal has enough detailed knots to make any sailor proud.

Our network partner,The Budget Babe, knows that the exclamation point to any seasonal wardrobe is its outerwear. She, therefore, got all up in arms about this season's anoraks. Yes, it is a Dad jacket. Yes, it can be horribly unflattering if not styled properly and bought in an appropriate size but, baby, worn well, it's a very chic 'neighborhood' look. The fact of the matter is, sometimes it rains and though a Burberry trench gets you right through those breezy mid-season days, it doesn't repel water. Granted, nor do all anoraks. The point is, the ever-powerful concept of utility has resurrected this outerwear shape and it's here to stay. Though some designers experiment with fabrics not quite as functional (see the Peter Som example below) its popularity pivots on the necessity for a lightweight, rain-friendly, coat for jenas-and-a-tshirt days. Check out some of our favorites in addition to a roundup of The Budget Babe's picks.
