Kitten Heels on the Rise

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Like it or not, kitten heels are on the rise! I’m not talking about higher heels- I’m talking about their popularity coming back in style. Don’t turn up your noses too quickly, designers have modernized the look with some amazing prints which is causing a huge craze! This is good news for those of us who can’t wear our mega-high heels in our everyday lives. Now we can all be fashionable (and comfortable). Here are a few really fantastic styles I found that would be a great addition to any wardrobe:

Top Shop Treasures

Topshop Petite Floral Bandeau Dress, $70.00 at Topshop

Where do I shop when all else fails where I’m assured to find some fantastic, stylish clothing? Topshop of course. I was first turned on to the British high street shop when I lived in England. My English boyfriend described them as a stylish and edgy Banana Republic, but a bit more cutting edge than any US mainstream store. If you’re not familiar with Topshop, check them out. Here are a few recent finds from over the pond:

Wild, Wild, Wedge

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Wowza! Designers have taken the wedge to new heights and I’m lovin’

it. The wedge craze has been around for quite a while, but we’re seeing fresh, over the top styles so you’ll definitely find a pair that will standout from past seasons. Today, some of the hottest styles are detailed with cork, rope and patent leather. These wedge-soled shoes make a great match with billowy skirts and cropped cargos. If you’re at all style conscious, add a pair (or two) of these wedges to your spring and summer wardrobe.
