!!! Fall Trend Alert !!! Exotic Skins

One of my favorite trends in accessories is exotic skins. You see this trend year round, just like we see leopard print every winter, but this season all things wild are especially hot. 

Thursday the 14^th of November we will be hosting two of the hottest designers in the world of specialty skins.

Come in and meet Leigh Navarro founder and designer of Leighelena jewelry as she debuts her new Deco Collection in Dallas.

Come in and meet Annsley Popov founder and designer of Presmer accessories.

Need a reason, other than gorgeous designs, to love these two? They are both Texas women and we always love supporting our own. 

!!! Fall Trend Alert !!! Wedge Boots

The next hot trend I want to talk about is wedge boots. We all know boots are a must have for any winter wardrobe and we all know that a wedge is so much easier to wear than a heel. That makes this the perfect trend for anyone to indulge in. 

Wear with: Skinny jeans, flared jeans, dressier pants, skirts, dresses.

 I love the way this boot blends the wedge boot trend with the moto boot trend. This is an instant wardrobe updater. 

 Sleek, refined, and extremely versatile is how I describe this boot. You can pop this on with jeans any day of the week but it works really well for pairing with skirts and dresses too. It comes in black too.

This has got to be one of the hottest boots anywhere right now. It is beautiful and comfortable and that made it an instant celebrity favorite, especially for Jennifer Aniston she won't stop talking about it.

!!!! Fall Trend Alert !!!! Pointy Toes

The weather is cooling down and the seasons are changing. With the season goes the fashion and that means it is time to talk about what we will all be wearing this Fall. I will be doing a series of Trend Alerts to make sure everyone is up to speed on the hottest and newest that 2013 has to offer. First up is......

POINTY TOES

Wear them with: dresses, skirts, skinny jeans and boyfriend jeans (pretty much everything)

Pelle Moda has delivered a bevy of beautiful pointed toes to choose from. Whether you are looking for a slingback, a pump, or a bootie I have it here from Pelle Moda.

 Jean-Michel Cazabat has mastered the fine points of the silhouette. This high heel is as easy on the feet as it is on the eyes and would be a beautiful addition to your shoe closet. 

This trend is not limited to just pumps. Boots, booties, and flats will all have pointy options to choose from. So no matter what your personal style is you can find one of these instant-updaters for your Fall wardrobe.

Bagadocious, Pedro, and Kotur

Today I am going to tell you about Bagadocious brand custom shoe-bags and wonderful new things to put in them. 

As someone who sells and loves shoes and bags I want to emphasize how important it is to take care of them. Keeping the box can be great for storage but boxes are bulky and you can't travel with them. So then what should you do? Bagadocious was started by Leslie Fuller, a self proclaimed shoe and handbag fanatic who also wanted a way to store her favorites when she wasn't using them and still keep them organized. Now you can order her bags customized with your shoes right on the front.

                                        

Here is one of the bags with a new edgy pair of Pedro Garcia shoes on the front. You can have bags made with any of your own shoes. You can also order Bagadocious bags for all of your favorite handbags, even the smaller evening bags like the Kotur miniaudiere below.

These super soft bags are perfect for storage and travel, and they come in different sizes for all of your accessories. You can have gorgeous, ultra-lux, custom, bags for everything from sunglasses and jewelry to boots and hobo handbags, all you need is a picture. The bags are available for order exclusively online.

Below are beautiful new arrivals in the store. I have a bunch of new options for you to put in your brand new Bagadocious custom bags.

New shoes for Fall 2013

It is that time again, that point in the year when it hasn't gotten cold yet but the fashions are changing. It is time for Fall 2013 and new shoes are arriving now in the store. The key to a well dressed season is to buy your favorite items a little early. If you start planning and adding to your wardrobe now you definitely won't regret it.  

All of these Pelle Moda styles are perfect for wearing today and will last through to Fall and Winter.

FALL TREND ALERT: Smoking Flats

We have had Tootsies Collection shoes in the store for several seasons now and this is probably my favorite collection so far.

FALL TREND ALERT: Wedge Boots & Pointed Toes

Serpentine Summer 2013

There are few things that I enjoy more than snakeskin. The texture, the color and the richness of this material is perfect for creating amazing accessories. Here are some of my favorites from two vendors you can find here at TOOTSIES.

 

Presmer is a collection of authentic python skins that are not complete budget-busters. The clutches come with two different lengths of strap, a nice short one and a longer shoulder strap.  The best part? The colors, they are hyper-saturated and rich adding a kick to any wardrobe.

Sorial is perfect for anyone that doesn't love real snake as much as I do but still wants to get the look. The embossed bags are beautiful, light weight, and functional. I have everything from large totes to the mini clutches available in a great assortment of colors.

Get over to TOOTSIES and check out the options in both of these collections. See you soon!

Pedro Garcia

Pedro Garcia is one of the greats in shoe design today. Style, quality, and construction are in perfect harmony throughout the collection. If you have never tried them on you need to come discover what your are missing. If you are already a fan you know they won't be here very long.  

One fantastic wedge in two great colors. Come in and grab one, or both, and wear them from now into fall. 

This is a great shoe for days when you have to be at top speed and still look good.  

Another great shoe with two color choices. Whether you go neutral or neon  this sandal is perfect for clean and polished looks. Think retro and pair with skinny jeans and cigarette pants.

This shoe is edgy and cool and ready to wear with everything from boyfriend jeans to dresses and everything in between.

Summer Fun at TOOTSIES

April weather hasn't been easy to predict so far but we all know the inevitable reality of Summer is right around the corner. Here are just a few favorites to get your wardrobe in season. 

WEDGES!

Wedges are everyone's favorite choice for chic summer shoes. Here are a few favorite styles to take a look at. From "Staples" to "Standouts", it is all here, but you will have to visit  or contact me to see everything. 

FLIP FLOPS!

Wedges are fun to wear but they don't usually work on the beach. We have a great variety of flip-flops to keep your casual looking cute. 

This week at TOOTSIES

This is going to be an especially great week at Tootsies Dallas. Here are the details on three major events we are hosting. I hope you can all make it. See you then!

Knock Out Neutrals for Spring/Summer 2013

Everyone knows that Spring and Summer bring an abundance of color and prints. This year definitely will not be the exception to that rule. With bright and wonderful things in mind I decided to show you some of my stand-out neutrals. Everything here makes for an excellent compliment to your Spring wardrobe.

Pedro Garcia

Grey is not the most "classic" neutral to be found in the shoe world but it is perfect. If you haven't tried it out before I would encourage you to give it a try. You will probably be shocked at how often you put these on.

B by Brian Atwood

One easy way to be sure your neutral goes with as many different looks as possible is to add in a layer of texture. This snake shoe adds the extra element needed to help it blend in anywhere.

Kors by Michael Kors

This wedge is perfect. The cork bottom is great for that added touch of texture, the leather is an ideal color for wearing with almost anything, and the gold studs make sure you get noticed even when you wear neutrals.

Kors by Michael Kors

A great flat in the perfect color is a must have for any year. This ankle strap sandal updates and compliments a wardrobe easily to make sure you look and feel good.

Kors by Michael Kors

This is the perfect classic wedge. A nice espadrille can elevate a look to a high level of effortless summer-chic. Pop these on with anything from denim to day dresses and always know you got it right.

Kors by Michael Kors

I love all the shoes I have posted today but I have to say this one is a personal favorite. This shoe is proof that simple and boring are two very different things. This simple sandal is a fantastic modern statement and it shows that you don't have to brave towering heights if you have the right mid-heel.

Vera Wang 

This is a departure from the mono-tone shoes we have been looking at so far but it is worth including with the rest. These three colors blend beautifully to create a style that you can wear easily with a variety of looks.  Never be afraid to mix your neutrals! You can see here that layering them all together can really make an outstanding finish.

Now all that is left to do is call-text-tweet-email-visit me so we can try out your favorites!

Spring delivery season is finally starting and that means the beginning of fantastic new arrivals. Now that I have so many new goodies to show off you will see a lot more activity on the site. Here are a few of my early favorites and hottest sellers - Enjoy!

At this point we all know and love Pelle Moda. You get an enormous bang for your buck with these very stylish choices.

Michael Kors and Lola Cruz are two phenomenal style names that you can always count on to come through with great looks. You won't go wrong whether you choose the sleek simplicity of the Michael Kors sandal or the crystal finish of the Lola Cruz feather flat.

This iconic bag from Stella McCartney has become a staple of so many stylish wardrobes and it will stick around for years to come. Here are four new colors that I love and hope you will too.
