Put Your Best Foot Forward

Wearing a new pair of shoes gives me such a thrill. I like to imagine all the different ways that I can style them. Here are some of my favorite shoe picks now.

Converse’s Boston Sneaker

I love to represent for my city and what better way can you do that by wearing its name on your shoe?! Converse created this shoe to help the  Marathon victims.

ShoeDazzle

If you’re stepping out for a night on the town try these flirty platform sandals from ShoeDazzle (Dannie). If you haven’t already checked out ShoeDazzle – do yourself a favor a visit now! THey have a vast selection of incredible shoes for all occasions.

After a long day…of running errands or a  night in heels, rejuvenate you tootsies with this homemade scrub. All you need is:

1. Olive Oil
2. Brown Sugar
3. Sea Salt

This will help to exfoliate your feet and leave them super soft. You can even use this scrub all over your body.

Light and Free

What I love about the warmer months is the simplicity of  my style. While I do enjoy accessorizing and personalizing my style, I also like that the warmer weather inspires me want to wear simple styles. I tend to not overload on jewelry or other items. I want to feel light and free. A nice top, good pant and a sleek shoe are all this girl needs to feel like a million bucks in the warmer months.

Life is Better with Shimmer

Lately, I’ve been craving sparkle and shimmer in my wardrobe. Maybe it’s due to the fact that it is the holiday season. So, I’ve  been indulging my sparkly side and purchasing things that have a little more flair than I’m used to, like these shoes. I like oxfords because they are classic and comfortable. I like these oxfords because they  are bedazzled with gold glitter. I’m not the only one crazy about these shoes. One of my coworkers actually threatened to steal my shoes. It took me back to elementary school when bullies would try to rob you of your goods. The difference now is that I’m an adult, stronger and will take her down if she tries anything funny.

ShoeMint

The talented and trendy Rachel Bilson has joined forces with Steve Madden to create ShoeMint. The collection prides itself on its craftsmanship and materials used to create it. By creating a style profile you can find the style that best suits you. Each month you will get an exclusive look at shoes picked for you based on your style profile. I think the textures and styles are perfect for the holiday season. My favorite shoe is the Pauline in wine and black suede (shown above).

For the next day you can receive $20 off your first pair using this code –> SHM20.

 There’s something about the holidays that makes me want to get gussied up.

Trial and Error

I adore the movement and shape of a full skirt. If you wear a full skirt you need to balance out the shape of your look with a fitted top. A knit sweater or a button down shirt will work as well, or perhaps a turtleneck. At night you can still rock the full length skirt with a tank or tube top with heels  a shawl or a blazer. Looking at the photos I think this outfit would’ve looked better with heels. Since I’m not that tall I think I look short and the heels would’ve made me appear elongated and given a more polished.  What do you think?
