After reading our fall fashion preview with fantastic stylists Nicole and Lori (if you didn’t catch it, you can read it here), I’m sure that you, like me, are feeling inspired and ready to work on your fall wardrobe. Here I’ve compiled a bunch of products that our stylists have assured us [...]

So on our second leg of our European tour we encountered a few trends — so, we loved and some we were not too fond of. First things first, let’s dish wish the bad. Seemingly everywhere we went in the Riviera be it Nice, Monte Carlo or Cannes, women were sporting harem pants — think [...]

I’m not sure how I feel about this trend, but it’s our duty to share all things fashion-related with you and let you decide for yourself. So in the latest innovation to stilettos, some designers are adding a patch of rivveted rubber to the bottom of the toe and sole, creating a claw look. Camilla [...]

Greetings from Barcelona, land of the beautiful people. Ive only been here a little over a day but have some style news to share with you all. From the looks of it, low-slung leather belts will be big next season. All the women here wearthem below their hips, so we may (finally) see the trend [...]

Ciao a tutti! I just got home from Italy (the land of style itself), and I thought I’d share some of the popular trends I saw there with everyone here – some are similar to things we’ve already seen, while some are still on their way. Andiamo!
Two popular shoe styles in Italy [...]

Boots are one of my obsessions. I could look at them for hours and at any given time there are usually at least one or two pairs I am craving. So let me share some of my current favorites with you: lighter boots that are perfect for the end of [...]

We’re seeing more and more shorts in more and more places you wouldn’t expect shorts to be: nice restaurants, nightclubs, even the office! So how do you make this look work? It’s simple. Start with a pair of tailored shorts (for either work or play, something classic from Banana [...]

Well ladies, it seems we’ve reached a place where my job gets a lot easier, and that place is our feet. Yes, I’m talking about flip flops. While it can sometimes be hard to find bathing suits at a good price (let me tell you, finding one piece suits under $50 [...]

The World Cup is my favorite sporting event, and something I look forward to impatiently every four years. I love seeing designers getting into the World Cup as well, and I think Havaianas’ World Cup flip flops are a perfect addition to any fashionable World Cup watcher’s wardrobe. The company has sandals representing 17 of [...]

Every morning when I get ready for work I tune into the Today Show to get my morning news fix, weather and most importantly, covet Meredith Vieira’s shoes. This started about a year ago upon noticing that Vieira, whose in her mid-fifties mind you, was always in impeccable, 5-inch high Christian Louboutins. It’s become a [...]

You already know about my obsession with Lindsay Phillips’ ballet flats, that let’s you change the embellishment to fit your mood or outfit. Well, the brand also has a flip flop equivalent where you can change the straps and snaps according to your mood. I love the idea, and better yet, you can use the [...]

I admit that I am a fan of Gisele Bündchen. She comes across as down to earth and humble, at least in the interviews I’ve read. But when she shows up to promote her shoe collection (Ipanema – more on that in a minute) in Paris wearing this Herve Leger dress [...]

One of my favorite things about warmer weather is the opportunity to wear sandals again. In fact, I could happily wear nothing but sandals all spring and summer if I could. This spring the gladiator sandal has returned, but with a twist. While last year most of the gladiator [...]

The Kardashian clan have been spotted out and about recently sporting Sam Edelman’s Gigi Sandal’s out in Miami. Kim and Kourtney are both fans of the leopard print ones which retail for $50. I love when celebrities occasionally wear items us commoners can actually afford. Like the shoes? Get them here.

While I may be a ripe old 25 years of age, I always relish ways to revisit my past and that’s exactly what my new pair of Bunny Slippers does. I just got these slippers and seriously don’t think i’ve taken them off in my apartment since. It brings back the good old days when [...]

I love ballet flats all year round and just came across a brand I’m dying to share with you. Lindsay Phillips has a line of ballet flats that are so versatile that you can change them up to make them just right for any outfit. The toe of each flat has an embellishment — ranging [...]

I am on a serious boot kick, which happens every fall, and this year I’ve become obsessed with Pour La Victoire (Translation: For the Victory) A little background on the brand that makes it even more endearing: they launched in 2007 as a footwear line for the 21st century Marie Antoinette. ANne Hathaway, Ashley Tisdale [...]

Just when I think Uggs can’t come up with anything new and innovative they shock me with a new product — Ugg Rain Boots. When my friend told me about these over the weekend I had to take a peek and I have to say I fell in love with them. The boots come in [...]

Although I love the summer I’m secretly craving the fall because of the clothing… and the boots. I’ve been searching for boots for the past month and a half and am more than excited about this fall’s selection. I just received my issue of Bebe Magazine, which I have to say I’m really impressed [...]

I cannot even begin to tell you the number of times I’ve been threatened about getting kicked out of a club for taking off my stilettos after they start hurting my feet. Well, it looks like a company in London sympathizes with my situation. Clubs in London are now catering to high-heel wearing fashionistas [...]

We are huge fans of Tory Burch, especially her footwear and today we have a nice little surprise for you. Her jelly riva flats, which are the plastic version of her famous leather Rivas that catapulted Tory to fame, are one sale for $59.90 at Nordstrom. The shoes come in bold colors like orange, yellow [...]

As the recession trudges along, big fashion houses are making attempts to seem accessible. The newest, and most exciting, diffusion line coming our way is Jimmy Choo partnering up with H&M. The line will feature the label’s famous shoes as well as clothing and purses. You better believe I will be lining up for [...]

So I’ve been mildly obsessed with Britney’s “If you seek Amy” for about 2 months now (I love the rest of the album too) so I was really anxious to see what she would do for the video since the song is so controversial (Take a good listen to the lyrics). Well, just saw the [...]

You may remember last year Nina Ricci’s models tumbled down the runway one after another as they struggled to walk in horribly high shoes. At one point a model fell, took off her shoes and walked the remainder of the runway shoes in hand. Well, you would think that at her Fall 09 show Nina [...]

Now is the time of year when all the big fashion houses release their resort collections, made for all of you lucky enough to get the hell out of this cold weather. Here is a preview of some of the looks that will be big this year:
Bold print, as seen in this Nanette Lepore [...]

Bloomingdale’s is having a huge sale right now, with an extra 40% off sale items. And unlike some blowout sales by other retailers, their stuff is actually cute. They have items from Tory Burch, Seven for All Mankind, Burberry, Diane Von Furstenberg etc. Also a great time to do some last-minute holiday shopping. The Tory [...]

I am having serious boot cravings this fall which is unusual because I usually have a really hard time finding boots I like. I recently fell in love with the pair of Modern Vintage Vinny boots. I love the hardware on the flaps, an they’re the perfect size to stick a pair of skinny jeans [...]

Just when you thought Victoria Beckham’s choice of footwear couldn’t get more eccentric than her heel-less thigh-high boots, she stepped out on a shopping trip with her sons donning a pair of 6-inch pencil thin stilettos made by her friend and designer, Marc Jacobs. Personally, I love the woman for sacraficing comfort in the [...]

Leave it to Posh to make a major fashion statement while promoting her new fragrance at Macy’s in New York this weekend. Posh and Hubby Becks showed up to the department store looking hot as always, but it was Posh’s boots that made headlines. Her $6,000 PVC thigh-high boots by Antonio Berardi have no [...]

Every winter Ugg introduces new boots to us, and sometimes they’re big hits (like last seasons crochet boots) and sometimes they totaly bomb (Fluff Momma’s anyone?) Here’s a look at the boots they’re introducing this year. What do you think will be the next new Ugg?

These Metallic’ Boots have a shiny finish to them. [...]
