I love a good heel ~ I mean one that adds that extra umph to your trunk and makes your legs look like they go for-ever!! I scooped these Brian Atwood heels [pictured above] and was giddy ~ and rocked them at my speech at WIPA DC’s meeting. If you want to be equally as sexy, you can get yours here or here….
You will see them everywhere and if you have a love for them (like a lot of us) then you probably have a few #leopardprint items. The shoes I love include Steve Madden‘s 4-inch heels (Nordstrom), more reasonable WHBM 2.5-in slingback heels (WHBM), Franco Sarto low-heeled mules (Macy’s), Coach sneakers, and even these a-dor-able baby slippers!!!

Does anyone else sit around and think of various looks for functions or events….that haven’t actually happened or that you haven’t been invited to? Secret revealed – I do!

My favorite feature besides the gorgeous red color!!! is that they’re created using the sacchetto method (the leather is sewn into
Everyone’s doing it! Those fancy lace-up flats are ubiquitous. While I may not love them (they are flats), they do a lot to add flair to even the most casual looks. The laces, when tied around the ankle, create a focal point and a touch of femininity. So score one for the ladies when you find them in denim…and under $50! Russian stylist Natasha Greenberg shows you how to take casual to a slightly higher level without any added drama.

This shoe, available at Shopbop, is a Celine-inspired beaut! The colors make it as gorgeous with darks as with lighter neutrals. And the metallic ankle-strap is the finishing touch. Dare I say we’ve got the perfect date night shoe? It’s Friday night…!
I’ve gone over it time and time again, and the end result is the same, To Boot New York, pound for pound, has some of the best contemporary shoes for men. Whew- I said it! Yes- there is always Ferragamo, Cole Haan, John Lobb but right now To Boot New York is killin’ it. The leather is quality. The styles are contemporary. The selection is varied but well curated. The lasting factor is there too. For fall, the best shoe
Some colors seem like they just won’t mesh well together, and navy with brown might just be one of them… until now! Let us show you how to incorporate these two colors into one stylish ensemble that will have you looking professional and chic for the office while still looking undeniably eye-catching for happy hour cocktails after a long day of fabulousness!

Men & pants: just like the ladies, if you’re having trouble fastening the last button, (take a silent moment) and agree to let them go! If you’re under 45 and your pants have darts/inverted pleats, please discard them. and for the professional man, if you own more than three pairs of sweats, please explain….because all of your work and outings don’t even lend themselves to having that many- trash them. Women & shoes: this is a sensitive subject so let’s
Men & shoes: remove empty shoe boxes, discard any casual shoes older than four years and with more than a 1-inch sole, and throw away any shoe you’ve been ‘planning’ to get re-soled across the last year and haven’t…you haven’t worn it and obviously didn’t miss it!
