Resort 2014

It is January again. This is a time to leave the old things behind us, to look ahead to a new year, new experiences, and new fashions. Resort Collection shoes are delivering and it is time to look at what is new and hot.

Lola Cruz is one of my absolute favorite breakout brands. They popped up on the scene a year or two ago and made a mark with extraordinary sandals. These sandals are jewelry for your feet and we picked three fantastic colors to choose from, Tan, Pewter, and Black (not pictured). I will be showing you a lot more from this brand in the coming months.

::TREND ALERT:: Jeweled Sandals

Any complete wardrobe should include at least a pair or two of great espadrille wedges. Tory Burch nailed it this year with this quintessential spring/summer shoe.

Michael Kors is turning out a lot of great styles right now. Everyone loves a good cork wedge because they are perfect for taking your casual looks up a notch. The sandal on the heel is one of my favorite shoes of the new year. You can wear it just as easily with skinny jeans as you can with a cocktail dress.

::TREND ALERT:: Pink (mild or wild, you can’t get away from it)

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. 

New in November

This month has already been full of new things for us here in the store. New jewelry - new handbags - and new shoes! Here is an assortment of just some of the new things I have to offer.

This gorgeous collection is very well represented here already and on 11-17 we will be hosting a trunk show so you can be sure to find your new favorite piece of jewelry or the perfect holiday gift.

Lulus Guiness is a fun and whimsical designer that reminds us that what we wear doesn't need to be so serious. Her handbag collection is full of signature pieces including The Lip handbag (also available in gold) and The Book clutch. 

New shoes hit the store too and here are just a few. Whether you need a classic pump from Pour La Victoire or a wild sandal from Giuseppe Zanotti Design or even a new Tory Burch flat we have you covered.

These two boots are brand new and they are already a hit. Play up your look with a little rugged appeal or add a polished finish to your outfit with one of these.

Spring 2012 Trend Tip #3: Funky-Chunky-Chic

This is the third of my four favorite spring trends for this year. The clothes that are hitting big this season are soft, flowy, and layered so shoes with a chunky finish help to keep everything in balance. Pop on a pair of these funky shoes and instantly update your wardrobe.

Tory Burch
This flat is a perfect black sandal for this season. On top of having thicker straps it also incorporates another Spring trend, ankle straps.

Chloe
This brand new shoe just arrived and I love it. This chunky heel with thick straps is easy to wear with your denim or to dress up a bit. All neutral colors make it a perfect pairing with Spring's bright color palette.

Pedro Garcia
This wedge has been a runaway hit and it is easy to see why. Wearing chunky shoes does not mean you have to lose any of the feminine appeal and this shoes is proof. Pop this on with your colored jeans or summer dresses and get ready to be seen.

Rachel Zoe
This snakeskin stunner is a brand new addition. Every element has been considered on this shoe and the result is the perfect melding of fashion and architecture.

Belle by Sigerson Morrison
This little flat is very sweet. The combination of a broad t-strap and an ankle strap is actually very flattering to most feet. I love the color pictured above but it also comes in a neutral tan color that is fantastic.

So there you have it, #3 of my four favorite trends in Shoes for Spring 2012. Drop by and try a few on and we will be sure you have the right update for your feet.

**Special Note** the backdrop for all of the photos in this blog posting is an unbelievably beautiful summer scarf that you can find here in the store. It is by Faliero Sarti.

"Flat out fabulous!" A special guest blog by Tamar Minassian

After a few too many peppermint martinis on Christmas, I injured my ankle and had to retire my heels. That is when I began to rediscover the world of flats. With the right shoes you can conquer the world- but I assume conquering the world takes more than a day and would require an extensive shoe collection. Today I am going to highlight an essential army of my favorite fabulous flats

Giuseppe Zanotti shoes stop traffic and they’re flats do not disappoint. I put these pretty babies on and found myself staring at my feet. I was looking down, but felt high. The tangerine color is on point for the season and the shine is be-yond.

Thin patent sandals, what’s not to love? These are perfect for time spent at the pool, lounging in the sun, and hanging by the BBQ. They also come in florescent orange and pink.

Belle by Sigerson Morrison has delivered a flat pretty enough to place on top of your side- table. The detailed cut outs completely charmed me and are sure to do so time and time again. This is a “best bet” for spring.

I’m a big fan of a staple slip-on ballet flat. Comfort and versatility are key to finding the perfect pair. Michael Kors delivered on both. The black and white snake skin will go great with spring colors and will add a nice texture. The sole has extra grip which makes it the perfect running around shoe!

The highly anticipated Rachel Zoe accessory launch has made its arrival in Tootsies and has gone straight onto my favorites list. This double strap nude sandal is super sleek and perfect to pair with graphic prints and everything else in your closet! So easy and an obvious brain child of a fashion stylist. Did I mention the hardware clasp? In the words of Rachel Zoe, “I die”.

Well there you have it, my current obsessions of the season! Come by and try them out for yourself. John and the trusty sales staff at Tootsies are a huge help in finding your perfect sole mates!
