My New Obsession: Oxford Booties

My love for oxford booties started a few years ago when they weren’t even popular, but eventually I just forgot about them and now that they’re back I’m in love all over again. Some of the new styles I’ve seen had left me breathless and yearning to get 2, 3…maybe 5 pairs? I found some to-die-for styles that I wanted to share with you. Lemme know what you think!

Happy Summer: It’s Time To Show Off Your Pedicure!

I’m the ultimate shoe fanatic and by that I mean that I have so many shoes in my closets, that I’ve literally lost count. Sure, I don’t end up wearing 80% of them, but I still keep and treasure them as a symbol of not only my femininity, but my undying love for shoes. That’s why I’m so pumped for summer to come, since it means I can start showing off my manicure and not to mention my to-die-for sandals. Here are this summer’s hottest shoes styles!

Colorful Flats

If you can wear flats, I salute you! I’m very short (5’4) and I love love looove my super-high heels so flats aren’t for me, although I do own a few pairs for the odd occassion. But if you love flats, as you should, stock up on bright, citrusy hues for this summer and pair them with simple dresses and skirts to get a vibrant look and feel.

Boho Wedge

Wedges are basically cheating heels. They’re high, super comfortable and super cute. This summer, pick detail-adorned wedges with earthy tones, patchwork and natural fabrics. Pair them with linen fabrics, jeans, or any type of skirt. These babies will work with anything.

Gladiators

I love gladiator sandals because they add so much sophistication to any outfit. Get a couple of pairs in gold or silver metallic as well as nude. Gladiators look best with jeans, skirts and beach wear.

Spicy Heels

If you work in an office setting, powerful, red heels are the way to go. They don’t necessarily have to be too high – just a tiny heel is enough to complete your outfit. Choose heels with rich textures and powerful colors.

2009 Fall Shoe Trends

This season, we’ve seen some of the hottest shoe and boot trends on the runways ranging from crocodile skin styles to sky-high stilettos and chunky heels. But whether you’re looking to buy designer shoes or something a little bit cheaper, there is definitely something for everyone this season. Keep reading to find out this season’s hottest shoe trends!

Stilettos

Stilettos could never disappear from fashion as there really is nothing sexier. But this season, there’s a little twist. Designers have been adding a little platform at the front making the stiletto even higher than before. Although probably not that comfortable, these styles of stiletto are super sexy and edgy.

Chunky Heels

Whether you love em or hate em, chunky heels are a big hit this season as seen on many runways this past year. Although they don’t look quite as sexy as the thin heeled stilettos, they’re much easier to walk in and 10 times more comfy too!

Tapered Heels

Tapered heels are a slightly different version of chunky heels (kind of a mix in between chunky and stiletto if you will) where the heel starts off thick at the top and slims down towards the bottom. Sure, they look a little out of the norm, but they’re very stylish, modern, and go with almost anything.

Squared Toes

I can’t say I’m a big fan of the squared off toes, but they’re very in this season. But don’t worry, this season’s squared toes aren’t like the ones back in the day…these have a tapered-in toe with a short blunt nose rather than a full-squared toe.

Over The Knee Boots

Last year we saw a big up-rise in over-the-knee boots but in flat styles. This season, you’ll see them again but they’ll be high heeled and made with suede as the material of choice.

Laced Up

Oxfords, laced-up boots, laced-up heels – whatever! It’s all green light for shoes that lace up this season so stock up on some of your favorite styles!

Mary Janes

Mary Janes are back this season, but this time with a twist! You’ll see lots of double or even triple buckles with tons of details, different colors, luxe fabrics sharp pointed toes.

Reptile Fabrics

Reptile skins are a huge hit this season and you’ll see everything from snake to alligator to lizard, etc. If you can’t afford to buy the real leathers (which, let’s get real, most of us probably aren’t), just make sure you get a good quality faux reptile fabric.
