Shoe Cravings: Tory Burch January 22nd, 2010 By

Tory Burch Jelly Reva

Tory Burch Jelly Reva

If you know Tory Burch, you know the Reva shoe.  The Reva is a classic ballet flat with a logo medallion at the toe.  This ubiquitous shoe has become synonymous with Tory Burch, but I’m here to show you that there is much more to this chic line.

The truth is that there is a great range of styles available, once you look past the much-loved basic flat.  The Iona and Liv cage sandals are a great example of this. These styles are super sexy and very different from the preppy Reva.  Perfect for a Saturday night out, these strappy heels have an edge. 

 

 

  

Tory Burch Melrose Bootie

The Melrose platform shoe bootie is a sexy ankle boot.  The top of the shoe is form fitting, eliminating the gap at the ankle that is often present on shoe booties.  This means it’ll look extra sleek and sexy paired with a skirt or dress and black tights.

If you want a cool spin on the Reva shoe, try the Jelly Reva pictured at the top of the post.  The Jelly Reva comes in yellow, blue, orange, black and pink and will look great this summer with denim shorts on the weekend and colorful print skirts during the work week.  They are also amazingly comfortable and you can find the pink and yellow Jelly Revas on sale for just $57!

Looking for something to make that work day to dinner date transition?  Try the Sophie wedge shoe.  With a high platform heel and the classic Tory Burch medallion, the style is classic for work, while the height is sexy for a night out.

Take another look at Tory Burch!

How to Wear: Fancy Leggings November 24th, 2009 By

Victoria's Secret Sequin Leggings

Victoria's Secret Sequin Leggings

Latex and lace are the sexy textiles wrapped around the legs of the most fashion-forward celebs, but can the average girl pull off these new daring legging styles?

All you need to do is pick the right top, we’ll tell you how:

With liquid leggings, a simple long and loose off the shoulder tee looks perfect.  Go loose and flowy on top since your leggings are skin-tight. Add a blazer if you want more structure.

Lace leggings look great with simple tops. A long black sweater or a short sweaterdress will compliment the intricate design well.  Add a statement necklace and stiletto shoe booties for an evening look.

For sequin leggings, try a basic tee and suede blazer.  The soft muted texture of the suede is a great way to avoid looking too sparkly and will help to highlight your legs.

Shoe Cravings: Bright Booties November 13th, 2009 By

In luxe suede, richly colored booties up the chic status of any outfit.  Their small stature ensures the color won’t be too overpowering, while the style is definitely on trend for fall and winter.  Paired with black tights and skirts or dresses, they’ll make an outfit extraordinary.

We love Steve Madden’s Cuddless and Sleakk booties, as well as Lovely People’s Piper.  The Piper bootie also has ruffles, another hot trend this season.

Moda Spana Claddagh Bootie, $50

Moda Spana Claddagh Bootie, $50

For all you fashionistas on a budget, wear a new pair of bright booties with your favorite LBD and some black tights.  Add a new accessory or two, like a statement necklace, and no one will guess that the dress was from 3 seasons ago.  Wear them casually with some skinny jeans or leggings and a tunic.  The Moda Spana Claddagh bootie is a steal at $50 and comes in purple, the hottest bright for fall.
