Are you traveling to South America soon? We’ve got a little primer list of what you can consider bringing along with you. Note: we’ve actually been to South America, if you were wondering!
Rubber Flip-Flips, Two Pairs
Why rubber flip flops? You need one pair for the shower, and another pair for changing into for quick trips outside. Even if you are not a fan of rubber sandals, even one pair will do you well in South America, especially now—it’s spring down there! The breezes are blowing, and the weather is balmy. Rain could come at any time, and who wants to spoil her shoes?
Heeled Wedges
Wedges are a popular silhouette in South America, and if you want to blend in with the locals, this is how you do it! Your heeled wedges don’t have to be high and they don’t have to be expensive, but it would help if you get a pair that matches with nearly everything. Black or brown strappy wedges with plain soles are ideal. Read more »

The seasons change and with that comes a change of what your go-to shoes are. For spring and summer, you may favor gladiator sandals, peep-toe sandals or indulging in rubber flip-flops. For winter, you might love wearing wedge boots or lace-up booties. We all have our favorite season, but what’s your favorite season for shoes? Are you a summer junkie or a winter lover?
I’m partial to winter shoes. Growing up in Texas, I was able to wear flip-flops year round. There were Christmas days when I wore open toe wedges. There’s nothing like being able to wear whatever shoes you want year round, but there’s something fun about shopping for winter shoes. Winter shoes have to marry fashion and function. They’re also a heck of a lot more dramatic than the open toe sandals everyone loves for spring and summer. Read more »

If you’ve been scanning the shoe racks – both in person and in cyberspace – and coming up short, perhaps its time to look at Hale Bob shoes. Launched in 2001 by Moroccan-born designer, Daniel Bohbot, the shoes combine the finest materials with interesting shapes and trends to create shoes that are both fun and feminine. And, at prices ranging from $30 to about $125, Hale Bob shoes fit just about every budget!
For a sweet soiree, consider the Kelsey, which is available in your choice of silver or gold and features a contoured strap at the toe complete with floral bead embellishment. A covered heel and slender ankle strap keep these shoes from looking too summery, while a 3 inch wedge heel will give you more than a hint of height. Read more »

Being a wedding guest can be fairly stressful, especially if you haven’t been to a wedding in a while. These wedding guest shoe suggestions should get you right on track about pending invitations, and you’ll have the chance to shop around and find a great deal for winter.
Satin Heel with Bow
Satin heels never go out of style, and they’re excellent for weddings when you need to dress up quite a bit. Glamorous heels can even have a lower heel, because they are fashionable enough to hold down the fort, so to speak. Satin heels can also be found in any color under the sun… we recommend considering black first. Read more »

The pointed toe pump has taken the fashion world by storm. They made their way into mainstream fashion this season and the runways are predicting that the silhouette will stick around for next spring and summer. That means buying a pair of pointed to pumps that will get you through the next year or two and update your work duds with just a change of shoes.
Do’s
- Do go for embossed neutrals to keep things from getting boring. Think nude, grey, black and cognac when choosing a neutral with a faux lizard or croc print embossed.
- Do go for dainty embellishments. A bow adds a whimsical look that will still look chic as long as you’re wearing a suit or other smart work gear.
- Do opt for an architectural heel. The pointed toe looks fabulously updated when paired with an architectural heel that has a slight curve.
- Do go for mary jane-style pointed toe pumps. These are chic for the work place and also work with wide leg pants or skinny trousers when going casual. Read more »

If your social calendar is packed for fall, then you’ll need a fancy pair of shoes to get you through!
While a sandal is certainly an option, sometimes it feels a bit too bare, especially once you get into those crisp, fall nights, and a pump just feels, well… a bit too office-ready. Our solution? The D’Orsay pump!
This season, we’re loving this style in on-trend jewel tones.
Ruby Red:
If you’ve always been jealous of Dorothy’s taste in shoes, then you’ll love the red-hot Senorita by Paris Hilton, which features an ultra-shiny patent leather upper, and a peep toe accented with a twisty, oversized bow-type detailing. A covered 4 inch heel completes this look. Read more »
