Shoesday Tuesday: HIS SHOES TELL ALL

Well it's not quite ABC's hit show "The Bachelor" and don't worry I won't even comment on JP's style and lack there of class, but it is true what they say, you can judge a guy by his shoe game. Don't believe me? Think of it this way, it shows how much he cares about his belongings. I'm not saying that a scratch or scuff makes him a douchebag, I am just saying that a guy who owns and respects shoes, definitely respects other aspects of his life too.











Ways to tell what kind of guy you have on your hands:

• Nice suit with chucks = Rebel with a lost style cause. This guy could care less about appropriate-ness or details for that matter. Don't expect him to remember your birthday or your grandma's first name.
• He owns an expensive pair of dress shoes, but leaves them scuffed and unpolished = A Boy who will never grow up. Not only does he not care about taking care of things, but don't expect him to want to provide for you either. He's more of a bigger better deal kinda guy, when the shoe has served its purpose he replaces it with another younger version.
• Jeans, shirt, and a pair of shoes from the 90's = a guy who is still living in the past. He isn't quite in Peter Pan-syndrome, but he somehow thinks he's trying to bring back retro style. Little does he know "Vanilla Ice" isn't the fashion icon.
• Cute style & tries to stay current = a man who is trying to impress you. We all love a man who can dress or at least tries to dress to impress us. We can't be the only ones spending money to look good.

Shoesday Tuesday: Real Women WEAR Curves !

Put a unique pep in your step with this springs stand out heel ! This trend could not be overlooked while strutting down New York Fashion Week runways. Designers such as Christian Dior, Walter Steiger, and Nicholas Kirkwood all made quite the impression with the fashionistas with these statement heels. Dress up any casual ensemble with a printed curved heel or keep it simple with a nude color; either way, your curves will not go overlooked !

Shoeday Tuesday: SHOE NIRVANA

Photo by KindredSole.com

It certainly smells like Teen Spirit when you watch the AW runway shows. Transport back in time when Seattle's rock scene was in full force and we couldn't get enough of plaid.

AW'14 embrace complete SHOE NIRVANA with the same inspired rocker combat-like boots we all indulged in in the 90's. I remember wearing my plaid pleated skirt, with my knee high socks and combat boots and my best friend rocking her short shorts with her favorite pair of Dock Martens.

Fast forward to 2014 and the color palette becomes muted in the shoe-world and our obsession with 90's nostalgia rages on. From dresses to jeans, these punk/rock kicks will have you zoned out to a simpler time. And although we miss Kurt Cobain's voice, it still echoes the sentiments of his legacy with the return of misfit dressing.

SHOES-DAY TUESDAY: WALKING ON SUNSHINE

Brighten up your shoe game this spring with YELLOW! This electric pop of color may intimidate some, but don't let this sunny hue fool you. Just the right amount will have your outfit beaming.

Shoes are a work of art all in themselves and this season is no different. Whether it's the arched heel from Walter Steiger to the art-deco gladiator or the color blocking mosaic bootie by Sergio Rossi, highlight your tootsies!

Rules on how to wear:

• Make the shoe the statement.
• Navy blue always makes yellow classy, try pairing a striped t-shirt & navy blue blazer and white shorts.

Strut your stuff this beautiful Shoes-day Tuesday! xoxo

Throwback Thursday - Are You Jelly?

We will be throwing it way back today! Who remembers wearing jelly shoes as a little girl? I know I do! Who could forget the excitement of wearing their first pair of jellies! These sandals were popular back in the 1980's-1990's. For those of you who may not remember them, they were totally awesome, but don't worry about having missed out because their comeback will be even more rad than before. They came sparkly, classic black, platformed, glow in the dark, neon and even a heeled jelly. People wore them to the beach or paired them with some wicked overalls. They were my favorite sandals to wear and they are making a comeback this Spring/Summer 2014. Designers such as Madison Harding & Sophia Webster have done a great job recreating the jelly sandal with their new, chic and fun colored styles. You can style them with your favorite summer dress, a pair of high wasted shorts, a crop top with a flannel tied around the waste or even a pair of jeans. So girls, get ready to be inspired by your childhood memories of the jellies, yet in a whole new way!

Tuesday Shoesday: Mule Madness

Yep, they're back ! The return of the mule was practically inevitable.  Not too many could see these shoes cycling back in style (I surely didn't), but they have made quite the comeback! Designers such as Philip Lim, Fendi, and Victoria Beckham are revamping the slip on style into this springs chic, must-have item. With peep toes, ankle straps, animal hair, and all the colors your could ask for, you cannot go wrong wearing them this time around. Pair them with your best jeans and classic button up for a fresh, ladylike look or dress them up with a cocktail dress. They are this seasons most versatile shoe !
