Shoe Cravings: Steve Madden January 7th, 2010 By

Steve Madden is one of my favorite shoe brands.  You’ll find trendy styles of boots, flats, pumps and sandals — all at ultra-affordable prices.

Steve Madden Comodo

Check out the Comodo shoe, a sleek pump featured in suede and patent styles.  Try the patent Blush version with skirts to lengthen legs or one of the sexy suede styles with jeans or dress pants.  I love the dark gray.

Steve Madden Merriee

The Merriee is a peep-toe cage bootie that is sure to wow in bright blue suede.  These shoes will pull together a simple little black dress, black tights and statement jewelry.  Rock them in warmer weather with leggings or jeggings and a tunic.

Steve Madden Alyra

A big part of why I adore Steve Madden is the selection of flats.  They understand that you don’t need to wear ugly boring shoes just because you don’t want to walk around in three inch heels all day.  Off-beat colors, embellishments and patterns make their flats interesting and cool. Case in point, the studded Alyra shoe: purple suede and studs peeking out from under dark rinse jeans or with a leather miniskirt will keep you looking sexy, without stressing out your feet.

Top 5: Suede Shoe Booties October 14th, 2009 By

Shoe booties work well with so many of this season’s outfits, like our favorite for evening: the sexy LBD and bright/textured tights combo.  Suede shoe booties are dressy and versatile.  Unlike the cage bootie, you can wear them on Saturday night and to work on Monday, paired with well-tailored pants.

If you haven’t found a pair to love yet, we’re here to help.
