Tights are an excellent way to wear all your summer dresses into fall, but do you ever have problems pairing your tights with your shoes? This footwear always looks beautiful (and feels comfortable) with tights, so have a hunt now and get ready for fall early.
1. Mary Janes: Since Mary Janes fit so securely on your feet, you will fall in love with them + tights. Forget all that slipping and sliding that you might experience with regular tights and shoes: you won’t feel that with Mary Janes, thanks to the ankle strap. Try wearing tights with a little texture for an even better fit.
2. Lace-Up Suede Boots: Suede boots with a lace-up front are another excellent menswear-inspired item that won’t make you try hard in order to match favorite pieces. Suede boots that look great for fall include ones with neutral-colored uppers in addition to fold-top boots with similar laces. Shop away for the pair that flatters, and then cinch the laces for the perfect fit. Read more »

She’s got a host of multi-platinum albums, has starred in Oscar winning movies, and even got one of the world’s best rap stars to put a ring on it, so sometimes you just have to ask, is there anything Miss Beyonce Knowles can’t do? Well, if you were hoping it was “design shoes,” you’d be sadly mistaken, because the Destiny’s Child diva hits it out of the park with her Dereon line season after season.
Color: Our gal isn’t afraid of playing with pops of colors in her shoe line. We love the bright, multi-hued Henna, which features a snake-embossed upper complete with intersecting straps at the ankle and a hot pink, sky-high stiletto heel with matching platform midsole. Another great option if you want to brighten up your outfit is the Torch, which boasts a bright teal upper complete with cutout detailing and a delicate buckle closure at the ankle.

Mary-janes are the classic silhouette that little girls turn to again and again. Moms-in-the-know understand that mary-janes can dress up any outfit with just the change of shoes. Women can take a note from young girls now that mary-janes have grown up. Designers are giving us polished versions of the traditional shoe that we all loved in grade school.
Looking for something unconventional? Michael Kors went all out with the creation of Pippi, a darling mary-jane fit for work or play. Wear them in the day with your dark basics such as a navy sheath dress or dark gray pantsuit. The flash of patent leather is always welcomed for the fashionista who has to keep her garb conservative for the office.
The great thing about the Pippi is it’s fit for the weekend too. Try it with a silk racerback tank top and high waist skirt with a full shape. If you’re going even more casual, never underestimate the power of a cardigan and boyfriend jeans. Be sure to roll-up the hem of the pants to show off your mary-janes. Read more »

You can switch from traditional heels one day to these options the next to keep your feet in tip-top shape.
The Studded Super Boot: Studded boots punch up the boring and dress up the simple stuff, and they can stand alone, fashionably-speaking. If you crave comfort and style, then the studded boot makes it look like you’re toughing it out– but you’re not!

Some people who aren’t “into” shoes don’t think of footwear as being particularly trendy– instead they imagine shoes as evergreen, simply added into outfits of choice at will. That can be true, but when you’re purchasing trend-conscious items at a lower price point, your footwear can look dated over time. If you like to think of your shoes as an investment, you’ll want to purchase high-quality basic shoes in classic styles to kick things off– they will never go out of style, and they’ll look darn classy, too.
Here are some must-shops that always look fresh: Read more »
