There’s nothing like a pair of cute booties to round out your shoe collection. They’re a verstaile, stylish option that works virtually year round; it’s all in how you wear them. The affordable Sam Edelman Peep booties are a steal at $64.50, and a pair of booties like these can work with many pieces in your wardrobe and will keep your outfits looking current.
Day
The Sam Edelman Peep booties are edgy, but they definitely work for day. They have a peep toe, which means they’re perfect for breezy summer days. Try them with floral print dresses or a feminine blouse and dressy shorts. You can also play with proportions by mixing these ankle booties with mini and midi (calf-length) skirts. You want the silhouette of the skirt to gently skim your shape without being too poufy or full. Mix the Peep boots with print wrap dresses for a quirky look that will work at a casual office.
Night
At night, the Peep booties can shine. Pair them with your favorite LBD or go fashion-forward by wearing them with a silk romper. And evening is the perfect time to make a statement with your toe nail color. Taxi-cab yellow, bright blue, and mint green are trendy nail colors this season and will pop with the Peep booties in gray.
Transition Season
We love these boots because they can easily make the transition not only from day to night, but from summer to fall. When the temperature begins to cool down, try the boots with dark opaque tights. But your options aren’t limited to black tights only. Eggplant, navy, and forest green are also great options.

2011 will bring us good cheer and fashionable outfits, we hope, but we’re always looking for an excuse to start things off right. These are the shoes that top our shopping list for 2011, and we are getting shopping right away!
Ergonomic Dance Footwear
Does this sound crazy to you? It’s not, we promise. Ergonomic footwear is excellent for wearing around home during the winter, and there are some new, conceptualized items that leave part of the foot bare to give the impression of walking (or dancing) barefoot. Of course, regular ballet flats will do, too. Read more »

Peep toe booties are edgy, fabulous and fit for fall and winter. While we don’t advocate rocking peep toe booties in the dead of winter, if you live in a climate that allows you to wear open toe shoes well into November and December, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t. Here’s a guide to wearing peep toe booties in the fall and winter.

Can you believe summer is almost over? Indeed, the kids have already gone back to school in many regions of the country and in others, the heat and humidity that became ubiquitous with the summer season has almost dissipated.

Okay, okay, we get it. It’s warm out, and probably the last thing you want to put on your feet right now is a pair of boots. But booties, and those that also sport a peep toe in particular, are an ultra-chic option paired with this season’s fashions.
Keep this look appropriate for the warm weather by following these simple tips and tricks:
Lighten Up:
For the summer, opt for a peep toe bootie in a light or bright shade. We can’t wait to step out in the Fancy by Dollhouse, which features your choice of white, blue, or yellow uppers (there’s black too, but stick to the rules!), as well as a gorgeous floral detail at the ankle. Metalics are also a great choice for a summer peep toe bootie, such as with the Trinket by Guess, which also features a series of straps in a warm weather worthy light brown hue. Read more »

Peep toe boots are so hot right now, it’s hard to imagine how we lived without them last year. Why didn’t we think of this before? Well, we didn’t. And that’s why they are so hot right now.
Keeping with the play on exposure and cover, cutouts are take on major importance, turning ankle-grazing shoes into summertime, open air cool kids, mostly in the form of wedges.
Oxfords and brogues are the basic that replaces ballet flats as the go-to flat, adding a tailored touch of menswear to your wardrobe, but coming in all sorts of fun colors for added spice. Read more »
