Shoe Spotlight: Silver Sprinkles

I first ventured into the world of smoking slippers back in December with an embellished pair from DSW. And although my style is more feminine with a bit of edge, I’ve found the menswear-inspired flats to be one of my favorites. They’re very laid back, extremely comfortable, and are a…

Double-Take: Saint Laurent Studded Pumps

I love the look of miniature silver studs on shoes more than the larger kind, and I think that these Paris pumps by Saint Laurent are far sexier than the spiked Pigalle pumps by Louboutin.…

Shoe Spotlight: Metalhead

As much as I love high tops and wedge sneakers, there’s really nothing I like more than a classic low-top sneaker with a slim profile. Out of my entire collection, my Converse sneakers get the most wear and are replaced the most often. As I was searching for my next…

Double-Take: Valentino Studded Booties

In my opinion, Valentino shoes were leaders when the studded shoe trend rose up last year. The collection included several tastefully embellished styles, including pumps, flats, and boots, that were easily recognizable and spotted on many celebrities and bloggers. These booties sold out fairly quickly!…

Shoe Review: Golden Sprinkles

I currently own three pairs of Vince Camuto shoes, and they’re all extremely comfortable, even the really high heels. So there’s no doubt in my mind that the Follie sneakers (available on ShoeBox and Dillard’s) would probably be one of the best wedge sneakers out there. Even without holding them…

Shoe Review: Dainty but Daring

Studded shoes seem to be growing on me because I keep coming across styles that I really want. I especially love combinations of unexpected elements, such as feminine colors and shapes with edgier details. The Michael Kors Larissa is a perfect example. And although it looks fantastic in black (Zappos,…

Double-Take: Christian Louboutin Guerilla

After the Punk Fashion exhibit at the MET last spring, there was an upsurge in studded and edgier shoes for women. Although daintier styles had their moment in the spotlight as well, it’s pretty clear studs are here to stay for a while. And I’m not complaining, because it’s nice…

Shoe Spotlight: Casual Elegance

As I wrote yesterday, my taste in smoking slippers ranges from simple to embellished. I recently found a more feminine pair on HauteLook (still waiting for them to arrive!), but studded and embellished styles are my favorite. I got these at DSW a little while ago, and I’ve fallen in…

Double-Take: Giuseppe Zanotti Studded Loafers

Smoking slippers are the perfect balance between lady-like flats and casual loafers. I’ve found myself quite obsessed with them lately because they’re as comfortable as flats, and can be styled with practically everything.…

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…

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 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…

Shoe Review: Pop of Pink

I’ve always craved a great pink pump. I don’t know if it’s because I was obsessed with Barbies when I was younger, but they always grab my attention. I don’t currently have a pair in my closet – I can’t justify the price for the pair I’d love to have…ahem…
