Shoe Cravings: What I Want Right Now March 19th, 2010 By

After an especially snowy winter in New York City (37 inches measured in Central Park during February), I am eagerly awaiting warmer weather.  I can’t wait to put my snow boots in storage!  Delicate flats, platform high heels and peep-toes are calling my name.  Here is what I want now:

Nude Platform Heels

Christian Louboutin's Hidden Platform Pump

Short girls, like yours truly, can use the illusion of the nude platform shoe to lengthen their legs.  These sexy heels also go well with the new neutral dress trend when partnered with a bright bag or dramatic makeup.  I love these Louboutin hidden platform pumps, but if you are working with a tighter budget, the Jessica Simpson Acadia peep-toe heel is a cute alternative!

Fun Flats

The ultra-flat MIA Hepburn has a pointy toe and comes in many fun shades.  Patent red, chocolate shimmer and fuschia reptile are my favorites.  They look amazing peeking out from dark-wash jeans and the bright shades and cool finishes make the flat style fun.  This spring, I am all about stylish flats.  For a very feminine look, try a ruffled flat, another spring trend.

Peep-Toe Wedge Heels

Love height but want something comfortable for hitting the NYC pavement ?  You need a wedge heel.  After a winter in boots, I’m excited to show off a hot pedicure with a peep-toe.  Tory Burch Julianne Snake Embossed Wedge is classic and sexy.  It’ll look chic with a pencil skirt for work and sexy with dark denim for a night out.

Rain Boots

With the occasional snowstorm still blanketing the city, rain boots are a must for getting through the slush.  A bright, happy pair will take me from gray winter mush through spring showers in style.  I love the Hunter Turquoise Glossy Boot.  This short boot is more appropriate for spring and the color pops!

What are you craving this spring?

Now and Later: Seeing Red This Fall September 19th, 2009 By

People StyleWatch recommends red accessories as a trend to “Buy Now, Wear Now (And Later!)” in their August 2009 issue and they featured Vince Camuto’s Paloma peep-toe heels.  We love the way that a pair of bright red heels can brighten up any neutral outfit currently in your closet to make it fresh and current.  Look no further than Gossip Girl queen bee Leighton Meester for inspiration.  Her Brian Atwood red platform heels provided a great accent to the black & white ensemble she wore to the Teen Choice Awards.
