Women’s Trendy Loafers June 7th, 2011 By Diana

Summer is the season for flat sandals and flip flops, but if you’re looking for something different and still want the comfort of a flat shoe, try trendy women’s loafers. While initially modeled after more traditional men’s loafers, the new women’s loafers have more detailing and embellishments. Wear them paired with shorts, skinny jeans or a even a skirt for a masculine touch to an otherwise feminine silhouette.

Bright Flat Sandals May 13th, 2011 By Diana

There is a definite resurgence of bright colors this summer season; we’re seeing colorblocking, neon brights (like these bright dresses), and flourescent accents on pretty much all of our apparel. The flourescent accent also has seeped into accessories and footwear, and we cannot be more pleased. Here are our favorite bright flat sandals of the moment:

Belle by Sigerson Morrison Flat Sandal

Giuseppe Zanotti Yellow Sandals

Granted, this Proenza Schouler Gladiator Sandal isn’t ALL bright, but we love the mix of neutral and neon and the unexpected mix of pink and green.

Spring 2011 Stacked Heels April 26th, 2011 By Mara

On our radar right now: beautiful stacked heels. This thick silhouette is at once flattering and relaxed; and to us there’s something undeniably sexy about that. Here are a couple of great picks that are unique and fun; and though some are quite expensive, there are more affordable options as well (plus it’s always fun to dream). Stacked heels are great with this season’s pleated skirts, but look just as fresh with a great pair of jeans.
