Shoe Of The Week: Alexander McQueen Military Ankle Boot

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageMilitary is the theme for spring and summer with military jackets and other military-inspired details on everything from purses to leggings popping up in stores everywhere. Designed by the late and great Alexander McQueen, this Military Ankle Boot is the trendiest way to complete this new fashion phase in sexy style. Classic army green detailed with gold accents, the Alexander McQueen Military Ankle Boot is given a hip, sexy spin with a peep-toe cut out, edgy top-stitching and a ‘tuff gal’ inspired skull zip-pull while tall, slim stiletto only adds more sex appeal and the fold-over panel makes it unique and flattering. You’ll have the troops readily marching behind you in these versatile Military Ankle Boots that work equally well with a loose, floral sundress as it does with denim shorts and a billowing button-down. No matter how you decide to style these hot boots, there’s no denying that they’re definitely at home on the spring and summer wishlist!

Toms Summer 2010

Posted in: Uncategorized

TomsSummer2010-1.jpg

Building on their solid business model marrying modern-casual style with philanthropy (for every pair sold, they give a pair to a child in need), Toms Shoes recently rolled out some fetching new looks for summer.

The mostly nautical-inspired collection includes several altogether new styles, as well as updated spins on the well-worn classics. The first-ever Toms heel, an open-toed wedge, brings a dressier more feminine silhouette into the mix, available in three solid colors (black, yellow, and pale green) and stripes (navy, orange and red). Interpreting surf-inspired streetwear, the neon Scuba classic (pictured at top in orange and green) makes an on-trend choice.

Similarly, the men’s Bimini Stitchout, with its durable sole and back drawstring, handsomely riffs on the classic dock shoe (available in navy and washed-out white).

Just one season after being released, the popular lace-up Cordones gets three new faded plaid prints that look as if they’ve already endured several seasons on a sunny boat deck. (Pictured top.)

The men’s Bimini Stitchouts ($68) are currently available for purchase on the Toms site, while the wedges ($69), plaid Cousteau Cordones ($69), and Scuba classics ($48) come out at the end of this month.

Shoe Of The Week: Valentino D’Orsay Pump

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageLeader of the recent big bow trend taking over fashion recently, Valentino has always been known for their impeccably elegant and boldly feminine designs. It’s only natural that they would be the ones to offer the most sensually sweet, timeless yet trendy pair of heels out there. The Valentino D’ Orsay Pump features a classic peep-toe front and adds length to your frame with a sexy cut-away on the side. Like the proverbial (huge) cherry on the sundae, the D’ Orsay is adorned in a large, loopy leather bow, giving the shoe a feel of both daring and femininity. Make it even more head-turning and get it in the patent red, or go with a classic black. Want even more feminine sex appeal? The Valentino D’ Orsay Pump also comes in a black lace version, or a versatile nude, as well as an array of other colors and fabrics. These beauties are in the regular high-end Valentino price-range, but are a pair worth investing in!

Lose Your Flip-Flops & Lace Up Your Sandals This Summer!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageLaces, usually saved for utility boots and sneakers, started making more trendy appearances on booties last season as heeled combat boots became popular and feminized. And now that it’s sandal season, laces are showing up on our favorite summer heels as well. While a sandal isn’t something you’d normally associate with the need to knot before wearing, laces add visual interest and add to the sexy ultra-strappy look in a unique new way. But just because they’ve lost some coverage to suit the upcoming warmer weather doesn’t mean they’re any less edgy. Either clunky and platformed like these Derek Lam sandals or vampy like these caged Dolce Vita ones, lace-ups are ready to be paired with a summery day dress or you’re next night-out outfit, depending on the style. Take a look at the slideshow for a selection of my 10 favorite lace-up heel sandals!

Shoe Of The Week: W9 Flap Over Sandal

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThat’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout: soft suede to channel your inner tribal hippie; boot cuffs to lasso your inner cowgirl; a sexy, yet sturdy heel to be true to yourself. The W9 Flap Over Sandals are the triple threat to satisfying your shoe-love needs. The fresh, springy peep-toe like straps paired with the conservative no-show ankle fold-over are so sink-your-feet-in alluring. While rocking boots year-round is completely acceptable (well, I’ll be real: I’m definitely not including winter, furry Eskimo boots in that testimonial), these beauties are the best way to carry your boots into warmer weather. The best part? The ever-fetching fold-over cuff unfolds into a second favorite pair of shoes: a still-summery high-heeled cut-out boot! With the flip of a flap, the bootie-to-boot pairing options are endless. Spring for short cut-offs for a more-tasteful Ke$ha-style summer look, or throw a jacked over a mini dress and flaunt those legs Whitney Port-style. These versatile shoes could become your addiction for the heat-packing weather that’s just around the corner, so slide ’em on and strut about!

Label Love: Stunning Boots From Penelope And Coco

Posted in: Uncategorized
imagePenelope and Coco is the brainchild of designer Marisa Spinella after she needed a break from her six inch stilettos. While her feet got a well deserved rest, Marisa came up with a collection of lace-up combat boots any girl can wear (and I do mean any!). Based around her two alter egos, Coco is bold, complicated and risque while Penelope is a dainty, classic, and a lover of vintage. With the two in mind, that formed shoes such as the GypsyRose boot with a cream colored leather exterior, a bright red lining, and gold spike studs along the back. Another favorite of mine is the RubyK which is covered in black sequins that’s sure to catch the light every time you take a step. The collection of boots are lightweight and ready for the spring and summer months when you forget to get a pedicure. The brand new line isn’t available in stores yet, but check out her website and contact them for pre-orders ready to ship in May. Take a peek at my slideshow to see the collection!

They come in a great banana yellow that’s sure to add a pop of color with summers minimalist ensembles. In a few months, they will look just dashing paired with gray tights and a shift dress.

Strut Stylishly In Spring Suede Heels

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageSuede heels certainly warmed up the winter months with the ever-evolving ankle boot trend, platform pump, and modernized takes on the classic Mary Jane, to name a few styles. But just because you have a closet full of last season’s suede doesn’t mean the material isn’t suitable for a spring or summer shoe wardrobe as well! With fresh and bright spring-friendly colors, summery cut-outs, and sky-high heeled sandals, suede proves to be truly seasonless when it comes to shoe trends! Suitable for day or night, suede provides a softer alternative to patent while still allowing you to be fancy with ruffles, laces, and fringe. Take a look at the slideshow for a selection of spring and summer-approved suede shoes!
