A few weeks ago I broke out a skirt I've had forever but had never worn. I bought it when I lived in NY 10 years ago. Maybe I knew the camo trend would be hot right now....probably not. Paired it here with a mesh crop top from the hot Columbus based brand Dirty Laser.

When In Rome....

....do as the Roman's do. When not in Rome? STILL do as they do!
I'm having a Roman sandal moment. I love the look of these on the leg. They key to pulling them off? Make sure they hug the leg. I recently ordered a pair and low and behold they are way loose on my legs. Not cute but not to despair. Off to 'try on' another pair!

High-End vs. Affordable Fashion

High-End vs. AFFORDABLE

Just because you want to wear the latest fashion trends and styles, doesn't mean you need to spend a fortune. Refinery29 recently posted an informative how-to guide about color blocking, the popular fashion trend that has taken over this summer. The R29 global editor (Connie Wang) suggested pairing colors that are similar to each other (like the dresses depicted in this post: Orange & Magenta or Red & Fuchsia Pink), in addition to off-setting the bright colors with neutral toned accessories.

Ground shakers, hurricanes, claw scratching quitters, sour graps and all the September issues… What a week!  It was the Heidi New Balance challenge making us all sweat in our designer slippers.  I guess you could call it sportswear but I think the end result is definitely a sporty and casual chic look available for purchase onAmazon. ‘What Would Project Runway Shoe?” (#WWPRS) is about pairing a shoe or two with the winning look, and in this week’s case, looks, of the week.  SPOILER ALERT!  Stop

It’s my dreaded time of year where I have to give up a precious hour of sleep and change my clock to lose an hour thanks to Daylight Savings time.  I’m not sure why, but it gets me all out of whack and it takes me several days to get on track.  This “Spring Forward” time change also always reminds me of my high school days when staying out past curfew on this particular night was the worst because it was exaggerated by an extra faux hour.  Parents can be so lame sometim

Kenneth Cole Boots - Wear with Elan...

Kenneth Cole Boots- Wear with Elan...

Do you know the Kenneth Cole success story? Yes, the man who designs Kenneth Cole boots. It is a story of grit, determination and fresh approach to problem solving. Kenneth Cole was a designer who wanted to open a shoe company in United States. From the start he wanted to be different and to be the best in business. But he had limited money. In those days, a shoe company had two options, either to join hundreds of other shoe companies and open a shop in Hilto

Sandwich platform

As far as shoe design goes, I have to admit, there are some really wild things out there and this "crazy" tendency is getting more and more pronounced with each passing year. Just remember the reversed heels of Maison Martin Margela and Louis Vuitton not that long ago! This year, it's sandwich sole or double platform proudly presented (and incorporated in all kinds of footwear from shoes and sandals to boots) by one of my favourite Italians Gianmarco Lorenzi.
Ladies and gents, behold!

Strappy sandals

Another trend that promises to be very popular this upcoming season - again - are strappy sandals. No, not the- two- tiny- straps- and- a- buckle fragile thing that we saw everywhere about two years ago but a serious construction made of everything from perforated leather to glittery suede to the watersnake featured in one the the Harry Porters.
As incredible as it may sound, out of the two closets of shoes that I own (and have to protect from the constant attacts of our pets) there isn't a singl

Outta this world

If Luke the Skywalker were a woman he would probably be wearing these.

Phi, leather reflective-heel sandals or as described at http://www.theoutnet.com/ high-voltage heels. And these shoes are definitely a no-joke: the heel is solid metal and is approximately 5.5'' high. And don't forget the 1.2'' platform, black wood-effect nonetheless! A word of caution, though: if you're planning to go outside on a rainy day with even a slight chance of a thunderstorm, please, wear something else - can't take

Gladiator sandals, part1

So, this gladiator sandal has really got me thinking. And browsing. And trying to classify what I see - in order to better understand this style and also decide whether or not I could incorporate it into my wardrobe.Ladies and gents, out topic for today is fancy gladiator sandals (obviously designed for those fashion-conscious fighters whose motto might've been "Life is short so at least get yourself a descent sandal, man!")With that in mind - Givenchy, Iguana zip sandals
