Double-Take: B Brian Atwood Lesina

Gold is a beautiful color for an evening sandal. It adds that little extra something to an evening outfit. I especially love when gold is paired with black, navy blue, or a dark purple; deeper colors really bring out the gorgeous tones of both pieces.…

Double-Take: Saint Laurent Paris Triple Strap

There’s nothing simple about these super sexy pumps from Saint Laurent. I’ve seen several styles of ankle strap pumps, but none come close to this.…

Double-Take: Jimmy Choo Youth Biker Boot

Chilly weather brings out the best in booties. There are fun, fashionable styles with a lot of height an attitude, and then there are down-to-earth, cool and casual styles that are just as great. Moto boots are one of those styles that will always be around; comfortable, edgy, yet classic…

Double-Take: Christian Louboutin Troop

I fell in love with these ankle boots the first time I saw them. And I almost never fall in love with Louboutin styles unless they’re extremely classic and simple. But something about these called out to me; I’m pretty sure it’s the super-cool woven strap detail on the front…

Double-Take: Giuseppe Zanotti Wedge Sneakers

I wasn’t quite sure how I felt when wedge sneakers caught on as a trend. Nowadays, I just can’t get enough of them! But we all know I tend to lean more towards simple, classic, with just a touch of edge. So most of the wedge sneakers I see out…

Shoe Spotlight: Studded Booties

Looking for an update to your basic black ankle boot? Check out these super cute booties by Kelly & Katie, a DSW exclusive brand. Aptly named Valentino—who could forget all those studded styles that influenced an entire season of shoes?—they are very versatile for the fall and winter season. And…

Shoe Review: Sassy Shootie

With a strappy vamp, snakeskin texture, and pointed toe, the Alfie is a great sho0tie option if you’re looking for something a little more edgy and eye-catching. I love this style mostly for the interesting cut out detail, which pairs nicely with the pointed toe. I think they’d be quite…

Shoe Review: Embellished

I’ve always been drawn to unique block heel styles. Although a thicker heel on a strappy shoe might sometimes look awkward and unbalanced, it actually helps balance out the shape of the leg, especially if you have thicker calves. (However, for ladies with very slender legs, it might look too…

Double-Take: Jimmy Choo Leila

I’m sure everyone has noticed that Christmas decorations have been out at some retailers for at least a week now, and while I’m excited for the holiday season, I’m not quite ready to start pulling those things out yet. However, since it’s November, the time for holiday parties and family…

Double-Take: Giuseppe Zanotti Lace Up Sandal

Okay, I know it’s long past sandal weather (at least up in the northern half of the US) but I couldn’t resist sharing these amazing heels. The spring and summer seasons of 2013 saw a lot of ankle strap sandals, but lace-up designs also had their moment.…

15 Must-Have Sneakers

I’ve been slightly obsessed with sneakers lately. I remember a time when cool, fashionable sneakers for women were harder to find. Nowadays, you can spot them everywhere! The only problem I have with this is that some designs are becoming slightly over the top, such as studded to the point…

Shoe Spotlight: A Bit of Patent

Ever since the fashion world deemed sneakers cool enough to wear (I think it all started with the ever-popular Isabel Marant wedge sneaker in 2012), there has been a huge increase in the variety of women’s fashion and casual sneakers on the market. This is definitely a good thing in…

Double-Take: Prada Cutout Sandal

I love cut out details on shoes, especially when they turn a simple style into something a little more unique. These bold purple suede Prada heels look quite architectural, yet the style is still very feminine and classic. They’re the perfect work-to-party shoe!…

Double-Take: Casadei Pinup

I’m currently in-lust with these amazing pin-up pumps by Casadei (perhaps a season too late, but that just means they can be found on sale now!). The FW12-13 collection was built around this particular pump and included a rang of silhouettes, including leather netting and ruched leather details. Taking inspiration…

Double-Take: Gucci Jane Sandal Bootie

There are endless possibilities when designing a shootie, and the Gucci Jane sandal bootie (still available on Yoox) is a perfect example of the ideal balance between sandal and shoe. The front of the shoe covers the foot, while the back leaves it exposed, yet secured with the two ankle…

Double-Take: Jimmy Choo Caged Boots

I absolute love these amazing boots from Jimmy Choo; the color is fantastic, and the lattice detail is extremely unique, especially because it covers such a large area of the boot. I can just imagine wearing these with contrasting socks or tights underneath. Unfortunately, they retail at $2195 (Neiman Marcus,…

Shoe Spotlight: Fun Flats

I’m currently (albeit a bit slowly) working on building a diverse and fun collection of flats. I judge all shoes based on comfort before I purchase them, but flats have to be extra comfortable. So it always takes me a while to find ones that are both fashionable and comfortable…

Double-Take: Céline Navy Ankle Boots

Ankle boots are a great transitional style and perfect for fall. Deep colors, such as brown, navy, and burgundy, are ideal. Whether they’re flat or heeled, they instantly update your wardrobe for the chillier weather. I absolutely love this pair from Céline. The perfectly straight heel, simple silhouette, and just-above-the-ankle…
