Leopard print shoes (specifically in the form of high heels) have been …
Fashion loafers (vs. the traditional “penny” variety) are once again a trendy shoe item for Fall and I've been lucking out for the past few seasons with these black vintage Sergio Rossi slippers. Yes, they are astrology-themed & although I'm a Sagittarius myself, the gold graphic is based on the Leo sign. Makes me wonder if they created them for each astrological sign, or if Leo (“Leone” in Italian) is based on Sergio Rossi's birth date?
It would seem that supposed rules of wearing white shoes after labour day (or rather not wearing white after labor day!) have become obsolete, with countless magazine editorials, fashion bloggers & street style fashionistas wearing either partial white outfits or going full throttle with head-to-toe post-summer white on white looks. But then again, is this really surprising? With the weather having changed so much over the past couple of years, I say the hell with the no white after labor day blabber & wear what you will! Especially those white shoes you love!
Nude shoes are the perfect blend-into-any-outfit type of shoe, but when you want to make them pop or dressier, nothing works quite as well as a little jewelry. Shoe jewelry, that is! I'm a big fan of my Shoelery by E.G. “Regal” faux-diamond shoe accessories & I've styled them a multitude of times with my Nine West black pumps here and here. I'd never thought of adding them onto a peep-toe until I was playing around with my nude Sofia Z sandals, some shoe clips & voila'!
Stuart Weitzman‘s “Nudist” Sandal has been the shoe trend phenomenon this past summer, worn not only by a multitude of celebrities during red carpet appearances (it's been the IT shoe since 2014 after all!) but also featured on a slew of fashion bloggers' feet.
Often even pretty shoes get forgotten at the back of shoe closets, which has been the case with my Vivienne Westwood for Melissa footwear high heels. They're sleek, quirky (that's an old school red wax seal right above the toes!) & comfortable, so I wonder why the heck I don't bring them out as much as I should. Maybe I have too many shoes, who knows?!
These white cap-toe “Lovisa” heels by Alexander Wang just go to show how sleek designed pair of shoes can make any outfit look crisp & clean. I bought this bandana dress from Gap as an easy throw-on piece in which to run errands or take my kid to the park. Paisley print & multifaceted chambray texture are perfect for masking stains, spills & the like. I'm messy & clumsy, so this tends to be an important element in my wardrobe choices (ever wonder why I wear so many prints & prints-on-prints!?).
