Sequin Shoes

Hey lovebugs, we talked shoes yesterday, but you know what, we're going to keep it going today with my favorite medium for all things fashion: sequins.

I have a pair of blue sequin Jack Purcell's that I wear ALL weekend long. They go with everything and they are so comfortable.

Steve Madden, Triummph, $59
Need a pair of fabulous flats to wear to your New Year's party that won't kill your feet? You're welcome.


Seychelles, Out on the town, $85
A sweet little bow on these pretty kitten heeled shoes.


Great color, great flat, perfect for work or play.

Sequins are an instant mood booster for me. Some sequin heels can border on prom-not-so-fabulous, so be careful what you pick.

Be fabulous today!

Suede Heels

There is something about a suede heels that I find so luscious. Suede is very rich and dense as a texture and they are perfect for winter. Here are some of my favorites.

Steve Madden, Lennaa, $79
These look so expensive, but for under 80 bucks, they're perfect for a long night on the town. For a holiday party, I would add these...


I love a fabulous shoe clip for some extra sass.

These pumps are screaming our for some tights and a tweed mini.

Nine West, Andriana, $55
I think every woman needs a pair of fuchsia heels.

Target, Missoni Suede Pumps, $39
No, you're not dreaming, there are still some Missoni items left.

 Suede is so easy to wear in the cold weather, they make an outfit that much more interesting.
