Shoe Trend Alert! In the Clear
Apr 19th
Top to Bottom: Bottega Veneta, Charlotte Olympia, Aperlai, Christian Louboutin
Our high-end designer favorites have switched from that clear plastic heels trend, to transparent PVC upper inserts for Spring 2012. From Kirkwood to Louboutin, to Charlotte Olympia there are a plethora of styles to suit day or night, work or play. So why not take the peek-a-boo fashion route this spring/summer & flash some (foot) skin?!

I’d be more than happy to show some toe cleavage in those leopard with green plastic Aperlai slingbacks & Kirkwood bow stilettos! Which style would you like to show some foot nudity in?!

To Love or Not to Love?! The Wedge Sneaker Trend
Apr 12th
Top to bottom: Dolce & Gabbana, See by Chloe, Giuseppe Zanotti
A vast array of high-end designers have jumped the shoes-wagon & created quite the selection of (mostly) wrapped high-heeled wedge sneakers for Spring 2012. From sporty to edgy, zipped to velcro-wrapped, loud to subdued, there’s pretty much a style for everyone this coming fashion season.
I’m partial to Giuseppe Zanotti‘s grey suede bedazzled pair, above & Ash‘s taupe/white sneaker, below. Nine West makes a pretty comparable pair for a fraction of the price of these haute styles too! Check ‘em out -> here. However, I think this season’s wedge sneaker is best worn under flared jeans to give a sneaky extra few inches to your legs 
Now, the question is: will you love or lose this trend?!
