New GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI

This is one of my favorite new pieces in right now. Open toe boots are everywhere and they look great with a lot of different things but the addition of the stretch ankle cuff really adds some distinction and a very cool edge.

This bootie is beautiful and made for Dallas. It is 110 degrees and thinking about Fall clothes is tough but this is a perfect place to start your wardrobe. When you wear this with pants it will have all of the look of a boot but you won't have to worry about how hot a boot can be sometimes.

Pumps don't come much better than this. This is a fantastic shoe - classic, feminine, and very wearable but without sacrificing style. The gorgeous dark silver finish dresses well with just about any color - it is perfect for:
wearing with black
updating a navy look
going with the fall monochromatic look and wearing all gray
not to mention how easy it is to wear with vibrant colors like fall reds.

DVF by Diane Von Furstenburg

DVF has been doing an awesome job on their shoe and bag lines. They look great standing on the shelf, they are flattering when you put them on your feet and if what I am hearing from A LOT of people is true they all feel great too.

The punched leather on these is pretty unique and I really like the way the straps wrap over the platform. The black is a great fail-safe but I am a bit partial to the luggage color, especially for pairing with greys-blacks-and winter white.

Clogs are always a good time. With pants they carry the look of a boot but in our climate they aren't so hot. This one gives you plenty of extra height but on a wedge you should be plenty comfortable.

New Kate Spade for Fall

This one is very cool. The platform and heel are suede and make for a great contrast against the lace d'orsay. This is definitely a girly shoe that puts a great finish on evening looks (day too if you are feeling adventurous)

You all know by now that I think shoe boots are great - this is another example of that. It is good on a bare leg but once we cool down it is going to be fun to wear with tights too. I also have this in eggplant so you can pop some color on your look this Fall.

WEDGES FOR SPRING TO FALL

Here are two great wedges to get you through the rest of the season and beyond.
Fall is still about chunky and about cut out shoes with tights or leggings. I am a huge fan of this look because it lets you wear a variety of lengths year round.

Tory Burch

This is the new Nelson wedge. Tory has mastered this wedge - it looks great and everyone loves how it feels. I also have it in tan.

DVF
This is the opal wedge. It is great - plain and simple. It is also going to be fun to put a tight under when the time comes. The layered carved out wedge helps it stand out too.
Also available in brown.

J.J. Winters Cross Body Bags

Cross body bags are here and the look is gaining momentum. This trend has landed and as we approach a new season it is really going somewhere (ie. on your body!)

Look at this one up close. The leather has a great croc stamp all over and the shades really enhance the look. The bag is also a perfect size for the essentials - an IPhone or Blackberry fits easily and there is still room for your ID and cards as well as a lipgloss and mascara.
So what is the difficult decision to make here?

Picking your colors!
