Classic Black + White.

It's been a minute since I've purchased any new shoes. Feels a little out of character, but these tootsies have been cozy in my favorite boots and booties for the Winter. Now that it's feeling like Spring (and a little like Summer), I'm ready for something new. And these classic cuties are exactly what was needed.

Little Black Bootie.

Spent Saturday evening with my guy perusing each aisle at DSW and walked out with these cuties. Perfect date.

Buckles & Booties.

Booties with buckles, what's not to love?

Unzipped

I'm a huge lover of New York street style. To me, it's wherefashion comes together and I always leave feeling inspired. During my last trip for work I visited a client in her showroom and quickly noticed all of the girls wearing similar style boots - short, black with buckles or grommets or zipper (or all of them at once). I was particular drawn to the overall look because it was an interesting compliment to the designers California modern inspired collection. Ever since I've been on the hunt for a pair of my very own. When I came across these J. Litvack boots, I knew I had found my perfect pair. 

Criss Cross.

So dainty and ladylike. In love.

Fall Flat.

Chanel 1920s shoes / Bionda Castana oxford shoes / Charlotte Olympia cat flat shoes / Versace leather flat / 3.1 Phillip Lim leopard print shoes, $660 / Zara black moccasin / ASOS pointy flat / Carvela Kurt Geiger patent leather shoes, $64

I'm a firm believer, a girl can never have too many pairs of flats, especially living in a city with so many hills. Here are a few options I'm currently weighing to add to my collection. Love.

Warm Winter.

Perfect winter booties. Want. Need. Must Have.

Been Dreaming About You.

This stylish wedge compliments every look with ease. I can't believe I lived without this long.

Latest Addition.

Took a trip to the library with my mom over the weekend and picked up these gems. In love.

Toe-to-Toe.

Christian Louboutin spiked flat / Dolce & Gabbana leather flat / Miu Miu oxford flat / Giuseppe Zanotti lace up oxford flat / Kate Spade pink oxford shoes / RED Valentino lace up flat

Oxford shoes are something I've had my eye on for quite a while, but never really embraced the trend. Perhaps I've been a little intimidated or maybe I haven't found the pair of my dreams just yet, but with these fun twist on the classic black versions are too good to shy away from any longer. Time to get shopping....

Now or Never.

Now this is a dare I can get on board with.

Nude Flats.

J.Crew ballet shoes // Vince // KORS Michael Kors ballet shoes // Ralph Lauren Collection ballet shoes // Sperry Top-Sider ballet shoes // Diane von Furstenberg nude shoes, $255 // Tory Burch flat shoes // Chloé ballet shoes 

Not only do nude flats go with everything, they elongate your legs and are comfortable to wear. How can you go wrong?!

A Little Diva.

Levity wedge

 Suede shoes with a patent ankle strap and wedge - I'm in heaven.

Wild Child.

Betsey Johnson Rese wedge

Suede pop of color with a glittery wedge - what more can a girl ask for? These shoes make me smile. They make me so happy I just want to do a cartwheels...Betsey Johnson-style that is.

J Crew x Vogue.

J Crew Aggie ankle boot

Just last week I posted here about my search for the perfect little brown boots.  Last Thursday I found the booties of my dreams at a J Crew x Vogue cocktail party celebrating the Holiday Collection. With each collection, I fall more in love with JCrew more and more. How is that even possible?!

Strap Happy.

Platform wedge heels //Call it SPRING cork wedge, $70 //Dorothy Perkins black sandals //Nicholas Kirkwood blue platform heels //Loeffler Randall ankle tie flat //Burberry platform stiletto heels //Reed Krakoff ankle strap high heels //Alexander McQueen patent leather pumps, $225

It's a wonder how one skinny little strap can instantly take your average shoe to a whole new level of sexy. Slightly Completely obsessed.

Cap-Toe Crazy.

Ann Taylor shoes //J.Crew cap toe pumps //J.Crew platform shoes //A|Wear summer shoes, $19 //Carvela cap toe pumps //Manolo Blahnik patent leather flat //Libby Edelman gold flat //Reiss ballerina flat //Wet Seal flat shoes

It seems most shoe brands are on board with the cap-toe craze; the new trend gracing the pages of all my current fashion magazines and blogs. Whether a heel or a flat, they offer a fresh, preppy feel to any look. And I love them all.

Star Light, Star Bright.

Loeffler Randall Starla

I wish I may, I wish I might, have these sandals I wish for tonight.

Neon + Neutral.

Jil Sander stacked heel, $522//Peep toe booties, €400//Wedge sandals, $149//Closed top sider shoes, €189//Rebecca Minkoff strappy leather sandals, $165

The neutral tone cuts the intensity of the neon. LOVE!

La Dolce Vita.

Dolce Vita Bagley

Best Summer sandal - every time I buy a new pair of Dolce Vita's I remember why I keeps going back again and again (and again and again and again)
