Winter to SPRING Shoe Transition

Image
Being 5'10" tall, I don't wear a lot of heels. Because I commute to work on my bike, the obvious choice for me when transitioning from Winter shoe-wear, i.e. boots, to Spring shoe-wear are   LOAFERS WINGTIPS DESERT BOOTS      

Dress for Spring 2013 - NEON

Image
In browsing the internet, it appears The SPRING COLOR TREND for 2013 are these NEON colors. I do like them, but if you are like me, a regular person, who has a regular job and not a lot of money, then I can't wear head to toe NEON like these lovely ladies.   But I found some great options. These dresses are bold, simple and reasonably priced. Dress for Spring 2013 - NEON by zalina-13 featuring a ponte dress Add even more punch to these lovely dresses with a STATEMENT NECKLACE.

Wedge Sneakers - Trend Alert

Image
Living in Southern California, we don't have the drastic weather change like Chicago, New York City or Denver, Boston... No severe snow storms, no sub-zero days/nights, no major thunderstorms. So preparing for Fall by buying the big bulky coats, the insulated boots or thick sweaters is not necessary. Being that the weather changes subtley here, the transition from Summer to Fall fashionwise is also subtle. For instance, instead of open toe sandals, we might have to wear shoes that cover our feet, such as sneakers. Sneakers are sporty, but the latest trend, adding a wedge to the sneaker makes them sporty chic. TREND ALERT - The Wedge Sneaker The Wedge Sneakers usually have a concealed 3-inch wedge heel built into them. the wedged heels, make legs look longer and leaner. I want a pair! What to wear with them? a button-down shirt (with a sweater thrown on top as well) baseball-inspired jacket/top/tee relaxed blazer tailored blazer/coat (leather...

Tread Alert - Brogue Fever

Image
Just browsing the internet for the latest trend and Brogues caught my eye. I am in search for covered shoes since we are headed into Fall.   I can't wear sandals all year round.   I need to start eyeing shoes that cover my toes. That is when I came across these. I love them! I even have a pair, but I did not know they were called Brogues. I always referred to them as Wingtips. But a wingtips ARE BROGUEs The Brogue is a style of low-heeled shoe or boot traditionally characterized by multiple-piece, sturdy leather uppers with decorative perforations (or "broguing") and serration along the pieces' visible edges and found in one of four toe cap styles (full or "wingtip", semi-, quarter and longwing) and four closure styles oxford, derby, ghillie and monk.   I would love to have all of these but come on $800 for some shoes!?! It ain't going to happen. So, I selected the unreasonable to the reasonable priced Brogu...
