Shoe Review: Floral Fancies

I don’t usually like shoes with overly girlish details; I hate big bows, and I’m not too keen on flowers either. But occasionally I’ll come across a pair that is just plain beautiful, like these two floral styles from Casadei. The detailing is so exquisite that even the blade heels…

Double-Take: Camilla Skovgaard Corner

If you’re looking for shoes with an emphasis on form, materials and style rather than decoration and trends, Camilla Skovgaard shoes are for you. Her footwear is gaining recognition for the stellar combination of contrasting elements. Fluidity and severity paired with edginess and sophistication result in unique and interesting shoes…

Shoe Review: Meshed Out

Metallic shoes can sometimes look over-done and too industrial, but these are quite stunning! I think the fine mesh with solid gold piping creates a stunning, delicate effect. The style of this particular pair is also very simple, sleek, and versatile. Although metallic can be tricky to pair with, these…

Inspired By: Jimmy Choo Perforated Sandals

Jimmy Choo Malika (sold out) Apparently the saying goes that “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”. As an artist and designer, I hate when my ideas are copied or claimed original by someone else. On the other hand, taking inspiration is a great idea because it can be a…

Double-Take: Alexander Wang Amber

I’ve always liked Alexander Wang shoes because they’re minimal yet statement-making at the same time. I particularly like how he sticks to black and white (or other solid colors) for the entire shoe for many of his styles; just take peek at the current collection here to see what I…

Double-Take: Isabel Marant Poppy

Isabel Marant Poppy (sold out) There’s something adorably appealing about the Isabel Marant Poppy pump. When most people thinkof pumps, they usually picture a basic wardrobe staple in versatile colors like grey, navy, and black. While simple and basic is a good thing to have, it’s also nice to add…

Shoe Review: Wild Thing

I know I already have leopard hi-top sneakers, but these by Michael Kors are seriously calling my name. There’s a whole “cool sneakers” thing going on lately, and I’ve seen so many great styles. Modern sneakers with different materials and details are a great way to stay fashionable and comfortable,…

Shoe Spotlight: Mixed Media

On a recent trip to NYC, I had some time to pop into the 34th Street Vince Camuto store. I immediately gravitated towards these buckled ankle boots. The shape and style is fantastic, especially the golden heel, but what I like most is the use of mixed materials. The front…

Double-Take: Brian Atwood Hester

Brian Atwood Hester If you’re looking for whimsical and glamorous shoes with sex appeal, look no further than Brian Atwood. He was the first American ever hired by Versace, and he fine-tuned his skills for 9 years before conceiving his own label. Atwood’s shoes are regularly worn by celebrities…

Double-Take: Tabitha Simmons Fold-Over Bootie

Tabitha Simmons Esther We’ve had some perfect fall weather lately, and what better way to celebrate than to bring out the booties? This lovely creation from Tabitha Simmons is perfect for your transitional fall wardrobe. Black and gold is always an elegant combination; I love the zippered cuff and metal…

Shoe Review: Quilted

Thanks to Chanel, there’s nothing more classic than quilted leather on a bag or a pair of shoes. The style is so iconic and statement-making that it’s become quite easy to get the look for less without it being a knock-off. Last month I wrote about a pair of booties…

Double-Take: Ralph Lauren Collection Cosima

Ralph Lauren Collection Cosima (DSW) I firmly believe that one pair of black boots is not enough. Maybe it seems silly to some people, but to me, they’re all different. A girl needs a pair of classic leather boots, and she also needs a pair with buckles and straps and…

Shoe Review: Rustic Roots

I love how popular shooties and booties are this season (there are some seriously cute styles out there right now), but I’ve always preferred short boots that end slightly above the ankle rather than exactly at the ankle. Last year I found an awesome pair of black leather ankle boots…

Double-Take: B Brian Atwood Linscott

B Brian Atwood Linscott (6pm) If done nicely, a shoe designed with mesh can look really cool. The Linscott pump by B Brian Atwood is a great example of a beautiful design using leather and mesh to create an illusion of floating elements. I love the perfectly straight heel, the…

Shoe Spotlight: Electric Blue

It was impossible to walk by Aldo without noticing these electric blue ankle booties. The color is so eye-catching, and the placement of the zippers gives them some edge. When I first saw these online, I wasn’t blown away; however, they look way cooler in person. I happened to be…

Double-Take: Givenchy Buckled Sandal

Givenchy Buckled Sandal (Net-a-Porter, Barney’s) There’s something very appealing about ankle-boot-sandal hybrids. They give off a very cool vibe. I think what I like most about them is that they can work across all four seasons; I’d love to pair these with some textured knit socks,tights, and a skirt on…

Shoe Review: Cool Croc

This gorgeous ankle boot is selling quite quickly, and it’s easy to see why! The detail and styling is classic and sophisticated, yet so very cool; every aspect of the design works well together, making it the perfect little bootie for fall. The design of Piper reflects everything about the…

Shoe Review: New Heights

I know that lately, shoe heels and platforms have been shrinking to more reasonable and walkable heights, but I couldn’t resist these Plumperfct boots from Nine West. Despite the extremely high heel (a whopping 6 inches!), the sheer simplicity of the boot is what makes them so amazing. This fall…
