Coming Up Flowers

Happy Monday lovebugs,
This weekend in DC was full of 65 degree weather and outdoor fun. By fun I mean happy hour, dinner, shopping, and magazine reading. Just in case you were wondering if I ran or bicycled (word?) or something.

This weather is making me feel inspired. Last week we looked at floral pencil skirts and today I thought we would continue the floral trend with some heels. Perfect for spring and colors for days.

Express, Skinny Strap Sleek Heeled Sandal, $79 $40

Half off and dying for a night out. Come on, $40 with some white jeans and a silk blouse, yes.

Nordstrom Rack, Ivanka Trump Indico Floral Pump, $119 $69

Planning  to wear any white eyelet this summer? These are going to be your go to.

Ann Taylor, Eryn Floral Kitten Heels, $98 $49 and free shipping with code CYBER50

I feel it's only fair to tell you when I buy things that I blog. This is one of those times. $49. Free shipping. Hello.

Bloomingdale's, Vince Camuto Kain Floral Print Pointed Tow High Heels, $98

These shoes are made for strutting. A real statement maker during wedding season too!

Spring means florals and I love to see them pop on heels, especially when the pattern continues all of the way down the heel. A small detail that makes a difference.

Don't Be That Girl

New Year's Eve is a night where comfortable shoes are a must. Whether you are dancing the night away or being a social butterfly at a friend's party, or even out to dinner with your beau. Do not be that girl in a beautiful dress carrying her shoes. Do not be that girl. I find the best shoes for a special night out are metallic. Bring the bling and they match pretty much anything.

Nordstrom, Ivanka Trump Indico Pump, $99

A nice mid-heel is perfect for a night on the dance floor. These remind me of a modern day Cinderella.

Urban Outfitters, Report Murphy Scaled Heel, $99

The stacked heel will save your heels even after the clock strikes 12.

Macy's, Fergalicious Certainly Too Platform, $59

1. Uh-dorable

2. You can basically be Fergie

3. The price

Aldo, Kveta, $38

This t-strap is a great design to save your feet, the silver pointy toe is just extra.

Don't get me wrong sometimes I do believe in the phrase beauty is pain, but not when you're getting kissed at midnight. Give your feet a break, let your dress do the work tonight.

Chunk-tastic

It's been a long week in my opinion. Work has been crazy and its only going to get busier, so you know what I say? Let's go shoe shopping. Chunky heel shoe shopping.

Bloomingdale's, DV Dollie Chunky Heel, $62

Just. Yes. Emerald, suede, gold, yes.

Not So Short Stack

Have you entered the giveaway yet? Go get to it!!! $75 to Nordstrom is no joke!

Ok, back to business. In the past we've looked at stacked heels, they're a great option for a more comfortable heel. Today let's look at some stacked heel sandals. These are great for summer and a good reason to treat yourself to a pedicure.

Anthropologie, Brooke T-Strap Heel, $49

These two toned, t-strap beauties are half off and also come in black and silver.

Flowers, for Me?

Floral is so easy for spring, we looked at some just a little while ago. Today we're searching for floral pumps. I love this trend because it combines the sometimes severe stiletto with the soft pattern and colors of a floral.

Loft, Petra Mutlicolored Floral Printed Pumps, $79

Look at how the patten continues down the heel. This is perfect with jeans or a sundress.

The Limited, Patterned Mid-Heel Pumps, $69

I LOVE these colors. Tan legs or pale legs, it works with them all.

Macy's, Betsy Johnson Bonnie Pumps, $57

A little Grease sock hop but in a Cha Cha DiGrergorio kind of way. Hot.

DSW, Nine West Elise Floral Pump, $59

This pattern should be stretched onto a canvas. Just lovely.

Floral pumps, a little sexy, a little girly, a lot easy for any style. Pick a hue, pastel, purples, reds, you name it, you will find something in your taste for this trend.

Oh Mary, You Get It

We haven't looked at shoes in a little while, so today I thought we would take a look at some mary janes. They're always in style, and a great style at that. They can be worn with dresses, bf jeans and more. They can be rocker-chic or sweet and playful. Let's take a look.

Target, Mossimo Erin Mary Jane Pump, $29

When do you ever see a green pump that is wearable between 9 and 5? Love this rounded toe.

Nordstrom, Sole Society Mary Jane Ballet Flats, $49

Obsessed. Just yes. Cropped jeans, an eyelet top, yes.

Nine West, Sheryl, $29

Hello party! These beauties are perfect for dancing all night long. A little Kate Spade-esque?

Modcloth, Craft of Charm Heel, $34

The scalloped edges! Yes! These also come in a carmel brown.

The mary jane shoe can be worked into any wardrobe, and while my choices may be on the preppier side, yours may be styled completely differently. And that's why I love them.

Building Blocks

Ok ladies, let's talk heels. I'm more of a low heel kind of girl, but if I can walk in them for more than 40 minutes, I'm willing to give them a shot. And the new trend of the block heel is giving me that option. Something tall yet sturdy, mod yet sleek.

Reiss, Yves Glitter Court Heel, $82 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Go, run, click, buy this shoe. Oh my word, my dream shoe. Purple satin, gold block glitter. Get in my closet. 

Asos, Prayer Pointed Heels, $70

How sweet are these heels? A girly mint color, ankle strap and lucite heel. Yum.

Nine West, Peace out, $49

Snakeskin anyone? Check out the angles on this heel! 

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Kelsi Dagger Molly Patent Pump, $52

The always versatile nude pump. An understated bow is perfect for a suit.

I just LOVE a block heel because it makes stiletto wimps like me able to strut their stuff too!

Toe-tally Colorful

Don't forget to send me your holiday gift guide needs and wants!  Who is the toughest to shop for on your list and why?

Metal cap toe is a big trend this winter, but so often we see this trend in black or gray, it's sassy, but it's also a snooze. How about a cap toe with some color?

Asos, Perry Pointed High Heels with Metal Cap Toe, $39

Holy moly do I love these shoes. I'm a sucker for mary janes as it is, so when you edge it up with a metal and put it in a pop of yellow- I'm sold.

Dorothy Perkins, Teal Toe Cap Point Mid Court, $29

You certainly can't beat the price, and the color is so decadent!

Charlotte Russe, Pointed Gold Toe Pump, $32

This blush stiletto will mix with just about anything in your closet. Dresses, jeans, you name it.

DSW, Restricted Just Dance Pump, $49

I like a shoe that demands something, like this one: just dance. Not a problem little one, not a problem.

Sure, you can wear a sky high black heel with a gold cap toe, or you can wear a splash of color, something noticeable that will demand attention right down to your toes.

Bringing Bow Back

It's no secret I'm a sucker for bows. And I'm so happy they're making their way to shoes. Big this season is the bow back trend on shoes. Today let's look at some heels that lay on the sass but with the sweetness that balances it all out.

Modcloth, Raise the roof heels, $42

Just, yes. Enjoy it. Stacked heel, purple bow back. Someone give me a black mini and tights and let's go out.

DSW, Impo Tewana Bootie, $49

This bootie has a hidden platform and the sassy cutout is just to die for.

Macy's, Jessica Simpson Jadie Pumps, $68

My girl Jessica has done it again. These rounded toe leopard print heels are fabulous. The tiny bow back is the perfect add on.

Alloy, Gabriella Mini Wedge, $32

A little wedge perhaps? These beauties are perfect for a cord mini.

The bow back heels are a bit pin up-y but in a sassy sort of way. I think pairing these with jeans or a mini make it perfectly appropriate for anytime.

Tee Up

There is something very elegant about a t-strap shoe. It has a dancer-esque feel to it and elevates any outfit to another level of class. Here are some of my favorite t-straps in a variety of colors and textures.

Anthropologie, Crysanth t-strap, $79

These party ready heels also come in emerald. I love the pom on the toe, what a burst of energy.

Lord & Taylor, Helkie Jones New York, $99

Well hello! A little snakeskin print mixed with an elegant black suede! Perfect for an LBD or jeans.

Modcloth, No Need to Spree Heel, $34

These heels are perfect to wear with any print. Floral, baroque graphic, you name it they will blend in but provide perfect stylistic support.

Lord and Taylor, Nine West Blonsky, $89

These shoes, oh these shoes, there is something architecturally satisfying about them. I love the zipper in the back.

What is it about the t-strap that is so enticing? I think it's a great alternative it you don't love a heel with an ankle strap.

Peep Show

Hey lovebugs,
Happy Monday to you. How was your weekend? It was a hot one in DC but the bf and I braved the weather, hit the farmer's market and enjoyed some margaritas with friends.

Today I thought we'd take a look at some peep toes. You're only going to get to show off the pedicure for a little bit longer. But today, we're not just talking peep toe, we're talking about peep toes with a stacked heel. I love stacked heels because they're walkable for us city girls.

Nordstrom Rack, BP Bianca Pump, $79

I've recently come to love a black and brown mix. This looks so classic, very Ralph Lauren.

Nine West, Homey Leather Peep Toe Pumps, $69

Great use of what will be a huge color for fall: ox blood. I know, I know, I didn't name it guys.

DSW, Crown Vintage Carol Lynn Pump, $79

A hard to find blue leather pump. They look downright comfy don't they?

Macy's, Celine Peep Toe Pumps, $59

This color is lovely. I would pair these with some bright denim.

I love a good stacked heel vs a teeny stiletto. They are walkable and you're feet will thank you after a long day. These peep toe beauties are perfect for the end of summer.

Printed Pumps

Happy humpday lovebugs,
Today I want to get a little wild and look at some printed platforms. Animal prints, graphic prints and more all in a great heel.

Express, Ikat Print Platform Sandal, $52

You all know I'm pretty conservative when it comes to office wear but you know what? Rock these suckers with a pencil skirt!

Forever 21, Zebra Platform Pumps, $26

When I look at these heels the song "I'm sexy and I know it" is playing in my head.

Nine West, Rocha, $39

I LOVE all of the colors in this shoe! Perfect for skinny jeans.

Macy's, Tumble platform pumps, $41

A beautiful floral with a great peep toe.

Patterned pumps are a great way to add color to an outfit and make sure everyone you see says, 'nice shoes!'

Strapped In

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I don't know about you, but this weekend went way too quickly for me. I saw friends and even some of my favorite bloggers. But overall, I'm just not quite ready to let go so I thought today we would check out some going out heels. I saw this pair in Lucky magazine this weekend and I got inspired.

Mango, Almond Toe Leather Sandal, $29

You know when you look at a shoe and just say, 'damn'. That's the reaction I had with these sleek and simple beauties.

Nine West, Free Spirit, $49

These shoes I would pair with a neon painted toe. The perfect pop of color for a night out.

Zara, Combined Vamp Sandal, $49

I feel as though my fabulous friend Mike would have one word for these heels: 'werk!'

Vince Camuto, Bello Pump, $35

The perfect LBD shoe. It's got some chunk, some strap and some sass.

So are we loving the ankle strap sandal? I think its a great option for summer weekend nights.
