Shoe Review: Ecco Fara

I have a lot heels in my closet, but my sneaker collection is just has expansive. As much as I love a good boost of height, sneakers are more practical for someone who commutes to work by bus or metro. When there’s a lot of walking involved, it’s important to…

Shoe Spotlight: Ankle Straps and Red Soles

These Suzanna flats may look a bit familiar to you…I wrote about them last year in a double-take post. They are an instant classic, flattering and comfortable. Turns out Louboutin created a winner here because they’re constantly in demand. The heeled version continues to be produced over the seasons in…

Shoe Review: Sam Edelman Susie

Now that it’s warm out, it’s time to break out the strappy shoes. These cute sandals will take you everywhere this summer, from company meeting to drinks with the girls. The versatile neutral color will go with everything from jeans to pencil skirts. But if you want a pop of…

Shoe Review: Evening Shoes

Whether you’re goal is to be prom queen or most beautiful bride, the Galvin heels will certainly dazzle your admirers. This stunning stiletto sandal knows how to make an impression with sparkling mirrored triangular stones. A shimmery satin heel and micro platform complement the lavish design. I’m sorely tempted to…

Shoe Review: Vince Camuto Sandals

I always love a good statement shoe. These can come in many forms: embellished heels, crazy construction, and exotic materials are just a few ways shoe styles can be elevated. But when it comes down to simple sandals, there’s only so much you can do. Unless you’re going for a…

Shoe Review: Schutz Embellished Flats

Let’s face it ladies: sometimes, the idea of spending an entire evening walking in heels can be a mood-killer. Plans aren’t always predictable; a low-key evening at a small restaurant might turn into a night of dancing at the club around the corner. Aches, hobbling, twisted ankles—risks we are all willing…

Shoe Review: Schutz Caged Heels

The weather in DC has been a little warmer these past few days, so obviously I’m beginning to think of the airy feeling sandals create after wearing boots all winter. There are new spring trends coming our way (more on that later), but now is actually a great time to…

Shoe Review: Warm as Toast

The weather is starting to get a little nippy around here, and I’m definitely impatient to break out my fall footwear. I usually don’t start wearing boots or cozy shoes until about mid October. Even though the first day of fall was September 23rd, it’s still not quite cold enough…

Shoe Review: Wine and Dine

I love collaborations in the fashion world, it’s such a great way to mix things up. The Nine West x InStyle collections have always caught my eye because of the elegant and classic silhouettes. One of my favorites in the most recent collection is the Cate pump. I love the deep…

Shoe Review: Venetian Beauty

The much anticipated fall-winter fashion season is sprinting towards us. Now that it’s officially September, I’m scrambling to fall great transition pieces and new winter staples. Earlier today, Casadei unveiled their new collection, an intriguing mix of opposites: classic elegance and eclectic energy. The beautiful Venice pump jumped out at…

Shoe Review: Rock ‘n’ Roll

I’m not normally into the rocker inspired shoes, but these definitely caught my eye. I spotted them through the store window at King of Prussia and immediately walked in to try them on. The Bryn boot is definitely a statement-making pair with chunky studs and super high heel. They are…

Shoe Review: Stud

As much as I like sleek and sky-high heels, they’re not something I can wear all the time. It can get pretty uncomfortable! So I’m very happy to see that designers are provided a wide range of super cool sneakers. I particularly love styles that incorporate intricate details, studs, and…

Shoe Review: Roped In

If you’re searching for a simple but stunning lace-up sandal, look no further than this mouth-watering pair by Jeffrey Campbell + Free People. I love this handmade pair because they’re a modern version of your basic summer espadrille. The tassels are an adorable detail, which balances out the thickness of…

Shoe Review: Strap Happy

I am head over heels in love with this strappy creation by Giuseppe Zanotti. Gold paired with black or white is one of my favorite color combinations. It just looks so refined and classic, even if the overall design is a bit elaborate. Zanotti has an excellent talent for adding…

Shoe Review: Classy Evening

I have to admit, I wasn’t a fan of Coach until their designs started heading in the high-fashion direction. With their printed fabrics shouting the brand’s name, I always connected Coach with the logomania trend of the 90s. If there’s one thing I hate, it’s having a brand’s name or…

Shoe Review: Simply Sharp

A great pump always makes any outfit look sharp and sophisticated. I love these by Kurt Geiger for the slim profile, needle-thin heel, and low vamp. The Ellen reminds me of these gorgeous but elusive Sergio Rossi pumps at DSW. Although I already have a beautiful pair of classic black…

Shoe Review: Gold Lining

We’ve heard that every dark cloud has a silver lining, but the golden lining on these beautiful pumps by Casadei (available on Shoescribe) is step up from that. I think white and gold is a stunning combination and will never go out of style. It’s a classic mix that has…

Shoe Review: Straight-Laced

I’m a sucker for ankle boots with interesting details…and the fact that these are made by Sergio Rossi (The Outnet) pretty much seals the deal. Those Italians sure know what to do with shoes! I love the asymmetric lacing on the heel, exposing the embossed texture underneath. I almost wish…
