Western Booties

lauren — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 13:03:28 +0000

Short, sleek and ultra-chic, what’s not to love about Western Booties?! Booties look fab worn bare-legged with shorts and skirts, cropped pants or over tights in the cool-weather months. Most booties have a comfortable, low heel for all-day wear. In my book, a western-styled bootie is a must-have for this Fall…and is something you can begin to wear now during the late summer months.

Blowfish Whence Western Bootie, $69.95.

Coconuts Pecos Suede Cowgirl Boot, $99.94.

Lucky Brand Studded Western Bootie, $169.

Frye “Billy” Short Boot, $159.90.

Designer Cynthia Vincent for Target’s shoe collection has {finally} arrived at Target. As of today, there is a reported limited selection in stores, but the full collection is available online. This is collection is extremely fashion-forward and includes colorful african prints, funky leather wedges and studded gladiator sandals. Oh, and did I mention that this collection is literally priced hundreds of dollars lower that CV’s full-priced collections?! If you are interested in these shoes, don’t make the mistake of waiting around. Pop into your nearest Target store ASAP or place your order on Target.com today…because in this case, good things won’t come to those who wait!

My top three picks in this collection::

The Gladiator Wedge in Cognac, $29.99. These are a pretty exact replica of CV’s popular buckled wedges…and cost about $300 less! Those who know me and shop with me know this is my favorite color leather…because, well, it goes with everything!

The Multicolor Printed Wedge Sandals, $29.99, will add a colorful dimension to any outfit.

The White Studded Thong Sandals , $24.99, are the perfect combination of comfort and sophistication.

Spring Shoe Trends #4:: Caged

lauren — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 15:38:03 +0000

By now you’ve probably noticed the Caged Shoe trend in shoe stores and fashion magazines. Defined, a caged shoe has a trellis-design that literally cages the foot. It differs from a gladiator shoe in that a gladiator usually involves a center strap and a caged shoe does not.

What I love about a caged shoe is that it will instantly update a favorite dress or pants outfit that you’ve been wearing for years. If the steep-heels on many of the caged styles are a bit much for you, try a caged flat…perfect for sun-dresses and summer skirts! Another plus about caged shoes is that you will be able to wear them into fall by pairing with tights. Gotta love a shoe you can wear 8-9 months of the year!

Fergie ‘Lucy 2′ Sandal ($89.95).

We Who See Baroque Sandal ($48) is a flat version of the caged look.

The Star Ling ‘Pan’ Sandal ($79.95) in Mustard hits on another hot trend this spring…bright-hued shoes!

Noticed this fantastic wedge while strolling through the mall this week. One word:: Smitten. I’m already imagining all the possibilities with which to wear this lovely black and white zebra patterned wedge by Sam Eldeman. Will Spring just hurry up and get here so I can bare my toes and sport these amazing shoes?!
