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.

Fall Favorites for Every Style

Look below for some of my favorite pics in the Fall Collection in a few key categories.

- Flats, Booties, Pumps, and Atwood -

There are so many options to choose from that I had to edit down, so whether you are fall in love with one below or had something a little different in mind give me a call or come visit.

All the best,

One Piece Two Looks

Everyone loved "Getting the Whole Look" from a few posts ago so I decided to revisit the idea. This time I decided to add a little twist. In each shot our models, Lauren and Tara, will be wearing different outfits except for one piece. So here is "One Piece Two Looks" - enjoy!

Love this Little Black Dress with Leather Details, by Theory, so much that I decided to show it off twice.

Gold&Black Suede Skimmer by Kate Spade

Black Suede Ribbon Boot by Casadei

 I love the neck on this Sweater by Robert Rodriguez and it is so wearable. This one is easy to style a million different ways.

 Distressed Ballet Flat by Vera Wang

Yellow Skinny Cords by Citizen

Flare Side Suede Boots by Pedro Garcia

Leather Trim Jeans by DL1961 were guest designed by Tina Craig, the Bag Snob, and they rock. Here are a few ways to let a fresh pair of denim spark up a whole new look.

Pedro Garcia for Fall 2012

Pedro Garcia is the phenomenal shoe brand from Spain whose name has become synonymous with quality and comfort. This collection is a great assortment of styles, every pair is cool and edgy but still very wearable. 

 First of all I love the color of this bootie. The dark charcoal is a refreshing alternative to black and it has enough depth of tone to pair beautifully with browns. The front has a nice long slit down the center that keeps the legs looking very long.

This is the perfect update for anyone that enjoys being able to transition to their fall wardrobe before December. Let's face it, we stay warm late into the season so a sandal style shoe for fall is the obvious first choice.

 This is another great choice for wearing in our climate. A few well placed cut outs can go a long way in enhancing the look and feel of a bootie.

 This sweet little Mary Jane is an easy choice when you are looking for something comfortable to wear all day. It also comes in Charcoal so you can easily pair this shoe with any color in your wardrobe.

Getting the whole look

The entire store is currently flooded with beautiful new merchandise. With that in mind I decided to show you a little more than just the shoes this time. Today I am featuring entire outfits with closeup pics of the shoes chosen to pair with each look.

Special thanks to our contemporary specialist, Tara McCray, for modeling.

Enjoy!

Spring Trend Tip 4: Color Blocking

By now I am sure that everyone is clear on the fact that COLOR is what this Spring/Summer fashion season is all about. Color Blocking is obviously reliant on your clothing as well but I have assembled some of my favorite shoes to add some punch to your Spring look.

Giuseppe Zanotti 

Giuseppe never steers us wrong. This combination of cobalt and turquoise layered over a bold sandal is clearly a statement shoe, in the very best way.

Bettye Muller

This designer is feminine and fun and it shows in her work. A cut out wedge instantly updates this shoe but doesn't sacrifice any of the comfort you expect from your favorite espadrilles. It comes in blue too.

Chloe

The name Chloe is synonymous with fashion. This year instead of painting neon on everything they created a color scheme that plays perfectly with all of the bright statement colors. This periwinkle cross-body bag looks incredible with just about any color, from other blues to hot pinks to the splashy greens of the season.

 

Elie Tahari
I love this little orange sandal. Even in a year that isn't all about color blocking it would still be a fantastic piece to have. The orange is a surprisingly smooth compliment to every ones summer look.



Gastone Lucioli
A summer red seated on top of a cork wedge is the classic staple shoe for summer. Use it instead of black for a lighter look in warm weather months.

Now for the best part of this collection of summer looks: IT IS ALL ON SALE! Stop by soon and see these and so many more looks to add a little color in your life.

B by Brian Atwood

Brian Atwood has long been a favorite designer of mine. His shoes are fantastic interpretations of classic styles that update any wardrobe and help every woman show off her personality. I just added his new collection called B by Brian Atwood to my assortment.

This is a great example of the Atwood style. A classic peep-toe gets the ultra-high treatment and a snake finish but it also comes with plenty of platform and cushion so you can still dance all night.

Several designers have experimented with fringe but this has got to be one of my favorites. The fringe is actually several layers of ultra-light chain so it has plenty of motion when you walk but doesn't dis-form like leather fringe.

This pump is a signature style by Brian Atwood. The simple but elegant pump has been updated this time with an iridescent orange lizard skin. My favorite part is the under sole which he has finished with orange python.   

From the time he started creating his shoe collections Brian has been tweaking and recreating the classic mule sandal. I love this updated snake version with a brass buckle. It is perfectly neutral, perfectly wearable, and perfectly Atwood.
