Fall Footwear Trend 2011 - Blocked Heels

Steve Madden - Gaayle Pump

Ok. Obviously it is taking some time for me to get back into my blogging groove. Please bear with me. Anyhoo, today I bring you this lovely blocked heel from one of my favorite shoe designers, Mr. Steve Madden. A rich suede upper made of cognac suede with the perfect pops of plum for some added visual interest. I love the curved pattern at the heel and toe too. Such a haute little detail. If you like them too, just click on the link above to get you some. Happy almost hump day everyone!

Fall Footwear Trend 2011 - Blocked Heels

As a gal who went to high school in the early 90's, the fact that the stacked (AKA "Blocked") heels are back has me giddy!  Based on my previous experience I could run a friggin marathon in these.  I can't wait to pick up a pair (or three) this fall.  Over the next few days I'll be sharing my top picks.  (Seriously, I don't think I can pick just one.)

Sam Edelman - Lyla Pump

If you haven't added a pair of leopard print pumps to your shoe collection, why not start with these?  The Lyla by Sam Edelman features a gorgeous calf hair upper, 4 1/2 inch stacked "wood" heel, and a 3/4 inch hidden platform.  I love the addition of the cognac leather ankle strap. It's a small detail that helps boost these past your average pump. 

An Unintentional Break

Yes, I've been absent.  I'm sorry.

I don't have an excuse. I've simply been uninspired.  "A funk" may be the best way to describe it.  I'm not sure why but for awhile there I felt the need to "unplug".  After 2 years of spending all day staring at a computer screen and then virtually all night, I wanted to get away from technology.  I'm sorry for leaving you all in the lurch but I am so appreciative that you have stuck with me.  Over the next few weeks I am planning on rolling out some changes to the blog. There won't be anything different right away.  I've got some brainstorming to do.   Don't worry I will still spend the majority of time focused on shoes but I may also throw in a style post, a wine review, or even a recipe now and then.  I want this blog to encompass all of my passions.  Not just shoes. 

You are amazing!  I can't wait to get back to regular posting.

Stay tuned for Tuesday's post featuring my "Must Haves" for Fall 2011.

XOXO
