Double-Take: Tabitha Simmons Early Bootie

It’s the middle of winter here in Philadelphia, and although there aren’t piles of snow around on the sidewalks, the temperatures do dip below the 40s and that makes me want to put on my coziest outfits for outdoor excursions in center city. Icy sidewalks are no place for heels,…

Shoe Spotlight: Sexy Sparkles

Wow, just wow. I really have no other words to describe these stunning sandals by Giuseppe Zanotti. I managed to snag them online when DSW significantly lowered the prices on all their Luxe810 shoes. With my discount, they were an absolute steal! Unfortunately, they ran rather large and my feet…

Shoe Review: Evening Glamour

If I ever had to style an outfit for a formal evening event, I would definitely start with the shoes. Depending on my mood, my taste in evening shoes ranges from simple and elegant to glamorous and sexy. These lovely rhinestone sandals from Express fall somewhere in between, which is…

Shoe Review: Evening Minimalism

I enjoy extravagantly designed shoes as much as the next shoe lover, but you can never go wrong with basics. And there’s nothing more basic than a simple pump or minimalistic strappy sandal. Single sole ankle-strap sandals were huge this past spring, but they haven’t gone away yet! This makes…

Double-Take: Valentino Metal Heel Pump

I have five pairs of black pumps. When people ask me why I have so many, I explain that they are all different, which every shoe love knows is the truth. Not all black pumps are the same, therefore it stands to reason that you can’t have just one pair…

Shoe Spotlight: Golden Girl

I have a slight obsession with golden shoes. I’m not sure why, but I find pumps, sandals, and even sneakers with that extra sparkle very enticing. If worn tastefully, I think gold shoes are a classic that can be styled with almost any outfit, not just evening and formal wear.…

Shoe Review: Scalloped Elegance

While browsing Shoescribe one day, I came across these interesting and uniquely scalloped pumps by Paul Andrew. To be honest, I knew nothing about this designer until I saw these and decided to look him up. And while doing so I managed to fall in love with several shoes in…

Double-Take: Chloé Square Toe Ballerina

There’s nothing more classic than a comfortable black ballerina flat. And even better is a flat with straps to help them stay on your feet.…

Shoe Review: Chain Links

Lately I’ve been crushing on elegant shoes spiced up with chains or studs. My taste usually revolves around sophisticated and understated, but there are ways to sneak in some metal details that still allow the shoe to look refined. I love the subtle detailing on these pumps from Express; it’s…

Shoe Spotlight: Feathered Friends

Just in time for Thanksgiving: some feathered treats for my feet! I spotted these at DSW one day at work (the best part of working the floor is getting to see all the new arrivals first!) and just had to have them. Fun fact: I’m drawn to all things fluffy.…

Shoe Review: Modern Cinderella

I’m a huge fan of Disney movies, and one of my favorites has always been Cinderella. Partially because I’d love to have a bunch of animals help me out every day, but mostly because a pair of shoes changed her life. And any jeweled shoes, tastefully done of course, always…

Double-Take: Giuseppe Zanotti Chain T-Strap

I’m obsessed with all of Giuseppe Zanotti’s edgier styles. Because no matter how clunky or over-done heavy details can be on some designs, he always finds a way to implement them in a way that makes the shoe modern, sophisticated, sexy and cool all at the same time. I love…

Shoe Spotlight: Boots for the Confident

Whenever I shop, especially for shoes, I make sure to browse each isle twice in case I missed something the first time. I was doing my last rounds at DSW one night when out of the corner of my eye I spotted these stunners. It’s quite clear why they caught…

Double-Take: Elizabeth and James Sand Pump

I first spotted these amazing pumps by Elizabeth and James back in August at Marshalls. They were on clearance for $79 at the time, which is quite a bargain compared to the prices you find online. Even though they are considered “past season,” these pumps are suitable for any time…

Shoe Review: Darling Flats

Though I don’t normally like styles with bows, I do love these flats from Zara. Not only is the bow small and sophisticated, it’s implemented in an interesting way and not just slapped on there. The front really reminds me of these Louboutin pumps, which may very well be where…

Double-Take: Christian Louboutin Lisse

I absolutely love the color of these Christian Louboutin ankle boots! As I’ve mentioned before, I’m drawn to cobalt blue shoes. I’m not entirely sure why because blue isn’t even my favorite color. It probably has something to do with how well cobalt pops against dark or neutral-colored clothing.…

Double-Take: Stuart Weitzman 5050

These 5050 boots by Stuart Weitzman have everything: comfort, glamour, and even a little sex appeal thrown in. The mixed material makes them easy to wear with anything, from dresses and skirts to jeans and leggings. You can get them on Zappos, Bergdorf Goodman, Piperlime, and Bloomingdale’s.…

Shoe Spotlight: Blue Suede Shoes

When I first spotted these Kate Spade sneakers on the DSW clearance racks in NYC, I thought, “Oh okay, a pair of blue sneakers” and passed by them to try on some other pairs. But I came back to them because I’m always drawn to a bright cobalt color (like…
