Chinese Laundry ‘Strate’ Boot

chinese-laundry-strate-boot.jpg

Keeping along with the last suede shoe, here is a great suede boot! This is not your average suede flat boot, what makes it unique is the over the knee front. I love this new feature in boots! This is for those boot lovers who are looking for something fun, high fashion, and still practical. The ‘Strate” boot is going to go with your mini skirts (b/c it covers more, tights optional) or straight leg jeans. I really think these boots are going to catch on quick in the fashion mainstream, so be sure to stay one step ahead! Also check out the black color too, although I’m really digging the dark brown.

MICHAEL Michael Kors ‘Gillian’ Flat

Have you noticed the increasing amount of suede in shoes yet? (If you haven’t, just say you have) I am really digging the recent suede overload in shoes these days. The simplicity of the Michael Kors flats is what makes these so great, something about that organic look makes it more fashion but classic. Actually to be honest I totally see Angelina Jolie wearing these..probably the only shoe that balances her frail frame. FYI if your hesitant because you live in a rainy area, no worries just spray it with water protector!

p.s come next Halloween you can save some money and go as Pocahontas!

Vans Classic Slip-on

Too many options is never an issue for me. I say the more choices I have the better! Vans has taken this to heart. They offer SO many different varieties of the classic slip-on in every color and pattern. Owning a pair myself I can honestly say they are super comfortable, convenient, and stylish. You probably see the usual black and white checkered pattern most often, but let me tell you if thats not your thing you will most definitely find one that is. The only hard choice for me was to decide which cute slip-on I should put as the picture!

Comfort level (1-least comfortable - 5-most): 4

Guess? ‘Brooke’ Pump

guess-brooke-pump.jpg

To be completely honest I’m still adjusting to the platform pump. It’s like bringing stripper shoes to fashion. OK so that may be slightly harsh so I’ll set aside some of my feelings and try to focus on some of the positives. This shoe will not disappoint, they will make your legs look great! They will appear to be more toned and leaner. And believe it or not that little indent in the front makes it more high fashion. However I do feel there are rules for this shoe: I would not wear it with anything that goes any higher than a couple of inches from your knee, Since you will be more covered below the waist its alright to show a little skin on top without being vulgar, and lastly try it with some tights..then you can get away with a lot more.

Nine West ‘Zampa’ Mary Jane Pump

So remember when Mariah Carey made that music video where she was a secret agent doing her super dangerous spy work in stilettos? After that stilettos made a huge impact on women’s shoes, but now its the chunky heal thats making it’s mark in fashion. Now you can go taller without the fear of getting your heel stuck in between sidewalks or cracks! Nine West has updated the Mary Jane, a new spin on an old favorite. Along with the patent leather be sure to check out the heel with the light fade in red. If you wanted to be brave pair these shoes with a red pencil skirt or a red coat dress.
