How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Pumps

May 4, 2012 Comments (0)

Depending on your wedding dress, your shoes will either be frequently exposed or altogether hidden. However even if you’re the only one who sees them, your shoes will determine whether or not you feel classy, confident, and comfortable throughout your big day.

Perfect Wedding Pumps

#1 When choosing your wedding shoes, you must first decide your priority: being fashion forward or confidently comfortable.

If you’re most excited about walking down the aisle in uber glam kicks at any expense, then you can focus your efforts on pumps, wedges, or platforms.

If comfort is your number one concern, then you’ll want to concentrate on sandals, flats, and sling-backs.

Join the Glitterati

October 20, 2011 Comments (0)

You might need to cover up your feet in the cold, but you don’t need to cover up your style! Keep your shoes sparkling this fall to heat up your entire outfit. Rhinestones, sequins, and glitter have made their way into some stunning footwear collections, and they have come to rescue us from the plain, the ordinary, and the boring.

Luminous Lace-Ups
Staying glam in the cold is easy once you find the perfect ankle boots to wear. The Carnbyl shoe by Steve Madden is edgy, sparkling, and sky-high! It’ll keep your feet secure with its lace-up design fastened with a buckle while you rock these 5-inch stunners. But if you’re looking for something lower than a 5-inch heel, but want a similar style, the Grind by Bordello is your best alternative. This glittery black look-a-like gives you the same lace-up style with a mere 3.5-inch heel. 

Lightening-Struck Pumps
The Lema pump by Michael Antonio elegantly displays your feet with a 5-inch heel, a mixture of suede and glitter, and a shimmering red ankle strap. You and your feet will shine, sparkle, and smile as you walk around in these dazzling beauties. If you want to stay glittery at a lower height, however, try the Xara pump by Killah in glistening silver. At 3.5 inches, these glamorous pumps give you added shine without the added height.

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Shoe
You can still rock the glitter look even if you want to stay flat on the ground. The Yachtts flat loafer from Steve Madden is covered in gold sequins, and you can walk in them all day long. With a lace-up design, these perfect casual fall shoes will dazzle, glisten, and shine with every step you take.

Trend Alert: Sandals for Semi-Formal Events!

October 18, 2011 Comments (0)

For all the ladies who are lucky enough to still be enjoying warm weather, there’s a fresh new shoe trend floating around Los Angeles. Trendsetting young ladies are rocking their embellished flat sandals to semi-formal events like dinners, evenings in the city, baby showers…you name it. But even though this trend sounds simple, there’s a method to making the style look sophisticated and fabulous.

Step 1: Stay Flat
There are so many times that we wind up doing so much more walking than we intended. Maybe the closest parking to your friend’s birthday dinner is a ½-mile trek from the restaurant, or you get a little lost exploring the city. Either way, this trend is for the ladies who prepare to strut their style comfortably.

Step 2: Put in Effort
To make this trend work, your sandals have to pair well with your overall look. For a basic sandal with a statement grab the ballenh in white from Sheik. The braided T-strap with a chain detail adds a stylish touch. The ballenh is also available in bold colors like blue and pink for your color-blocking needs.

Step 3: Go all the Way with Detail
Choose sandals with details that give them a semi-formal appeal. The multicolor Wheel of Fortune sandals by Seychelles boasts a sophisticated floral print on soft fabric that drapes around your ankle and across your toe. To get glittery, opt for the Anthology by Seychelles. A thick T-strap coated in beads and stones is semi-formal all on its own.

Final Thoughts
We’re big fans of budget-friendly shoe trends. And even though ankle breakers are still show stopping shoes for parties, when you’re meeting up with gal pals or heading to a community event there’s nothing wrong with a touch of California casual.

Rockin’ Rain Boots

October 14, 2011 Comments (0)

We know East Coast fashionistas don’t let the weather challenge their fashion skills. Rain or snow, ladies of the east always manage to stay chic. To keep you looking your best in the rain, we’d like to share a few fun shoe and style suggestions that blend your favorite fall trends with weather-proof designs. Try out these looks to make a refreshing fall fashion statement.

Ridin’ the Rain: What better way to ride through the rainy season then with riding boot inspired gear? It’s easy to achieve a refined look with Dav’s Distressed Equestrian Solid boots in dark gray. Boasting metallic accents, a 1-inch heel, a rubber sole, and an overall riding boot style, it’ll be easy to achieve a refined look. Pair these boots with leggings or skinny jeans for a sleek silhouette. Finish off with a camel colored top and your favorite rain coat to stay sophisticated in the wet weather.

Lace up and Rock Red: Even though combat boots and lace ups have been trying to make a splash in the style world, they weren’t meant for heavy rain–that is, until the Chooka Buffalo Bone came along.  You’re sure to love the fashion forward lace up detail against plaid print and the single red stripe that adds a pop of color. Match them with your red skinnies from summer and a neutral top for a brighter look. Add a gray scarf or knit hat to tie everything together and viola!—you’ll be the trendiest fashionista in any amount of rain or shine.

Sugar and Spice: Feminine Elements Meet Tough Embellishments

October 11, 2011 Comments (0)

Stepping out of the ordinary and walking on the wild side is always fun when it comes to trying new footwear styles. Opt for fabulous styles like the ones that we found that merge a bounty of fabulous embellishments that will complement your printed apparel pieces and spice up your more traditional, solid color looks. 

For Comfort
Stay comfortable and glamorous in flats that sparkle. Kenneth Cole’s Glass Slipper, in gray and black features a round toe and sequin detailing that sets them apart from everyday flats. Pair them with your favorite jeans and T-shirts to add something extra to your everyday look, or style them with cropped pants and a blazer for a sophisticated, chic look.

For a Day Out
Naughty Monkey’s Joshua Tree wedges are perfect for the warmer days of fall. These canvas  wedges feature studs and grommets along the T-strap, platform, and 5-inch wedge heal. Available in black, orange and gray, the simple change in color creates a whole new look. The black plays with the biker look, orange with the bohemian vibe, while the gray has more a of beach-y appeal. These versatile shoes pair well with dresses, skirts, jeans, and tops bursting with vibrant prints.

For a Night Out
Embellished heals have made their debut on red carpets and are finding their place in our closests. For a truly sassy look, try out Boutique 9’s Daraye. The d’orsay design and peep-toe let your feet breathe in the fresh air. The bow above the tow lends itself to a girly, Betty Boop kind of cuteness, while the stud and grommet details that are spread over the whole shoe make it pop. For a more toned downed shoe that still stands out, try BCBG’s Abram pumps with a classic front and studding along the heal. Pair with metallic colors, little black dresses or your favorite body-conscious skirts.
