L.A.M.B ‘Tansy’ Pump

It’s always a bit worrisome that certain shoes with a narrow tall heel and a platform could look a bit… well skanky.  But there is a solution to this problem and a lot of it has to do with the material.  Gwen has paired this high heeled peep toe pump with a mixture of suede and a wooden heel.  Suede is a softer look than leather or the ever popular patent leather.  The pattern on the suede adds a feeling of fluidity and interest to the pump.  I would definitely recommend this color, it’s a bit off beat and perfect for this season.

KORS by Michael Kors ‘Tasty’ Pump

Even though it is far too cold to be wearing a peep toe pump like this where I am, for this pump I might actually save it for a warmer day.  I love metal hardware and Michael Kors has done something with this shoe that I haven’t seen before.  Remember the days of our youth when we would wear the belts that had the two metal loops we put the strap through?  Well it has been reincarnated in the ‘Tasty’ pump.  I must say that I am digging the studs and belt, as much as I am a fan of the buckle, it’s nice to know designers can still be creative.

FRYE ‘Elizabeth Criss Cross’ Boot

True, I said that I was slowly getting into mid level boots, but who can really deny a great looking boot, knee high or not?  I am constantly lusting after FRYE boots.  Not only are they great quality but they have a certain charm that is irresistible.  It combines practicality and fashion into one boot with a sort of home style flare.  Wether you are braving the snow while trying to get your holiday shopping done or pairing it with fun printed pleated skirt while at lunch with your best bud, this boot will keep you in fashion for as long as you want.

Madden Girl ‘Singerr’ Boot

For those of us who are on a budget but still want to look good then I definitely have the boot for you.  Madden Girl has managed to give us affordable fashion.  I have slowly transitioned from tall knee high boots to mid level.  If you like to tuck your jeans into your boots then opt for a mid shaft boot, like this one.  I guarantee that your jeans will be less snug and your are less likely to get those awful jean creases where you forced your jeans inside.  This boot also looks great with a flowy dress, tights, and a cute leather jacket.

Elie Tahari ‘Vivianna’ Pump

A little color to brighten our day.  Yes, it’s in the middle of December and yes, you are probably in the midst of the coldest day yet… but that doesn’t mean we can’t perk ourselves up with a great pair of pink patent leather pumps.  I will be the first to admit that pink isn’t my favorite color let alone a color choice for a pair of shoes, but there is something about this hue and the style of this pump.  It’s simple and classic.  The combination of those two can definitely hold its own with the color.

Alexander McQueen ‘216794′ Pump

Alexander McQueen embodies the idea of edginess meets romance.  I don’t have to see the price to know that this is outrageously priced and well out of most of our ranges.  But every once in a while it’s nice to look upon a shoe and know that in a few months (or more) other designers will be copying this style and… you were the first to notice.

Hunter ‘Original’ Boot

Rain boots aren’t just a fashion fad during the rainy/snowy seasons… well at least the Hunter boot isn’t. Hunter has claimed its spot as the number one rain boot.  Even though they sometimes do patterned rain boots I prefer one of the many solid colors they let you choose from and this season it’s purple for me. This eggplant purple seems to accomplish a color pop while remaining completely neutral.  So, next time you find yourself rolling up your soaked jeans are feeling the cold air rush over your damp toes (from that puddle you just stepped in) think how stylish and adorable you could have looked in a pair of Hunter boots.
