Pretty in Polka Dots

Blitzen by Nine West

Ah the polka dot. Such a classic yet undeniably feminine print. Diabolina over at My Super Sweet Fashion Diary proclaimed that polka dots never goes out of style and I couldn't agree with her more. Check out her recent posts from January 13 and January 15 where she preaches the wonders of this Spring "trend". Now this shoe brought to you by Nine West embodies what a girl wants. The print, of course, and then add the contrasting platform and sweet shape. This is a wonderful shoe but if polka dots aren't your thing you can find them in black or blue leather too.

Hey Ladies!!!! -Addendum

Crap! So the lovely Heidi just informed me she tried to purchase a pair of shoes from Shoe Steal and she wasn't able to get the $29.99 price. I'm so sorry to have posted this so late. I had no idea it was ending early. I thought the sale was supposed to be all day. As in until midnight. Sorry ladies. I didn't mean to get your hopes up just to have them dashed. Please don't hold it against me : )

Seriously you HAVE to check this out. Anna over at Shoe Smitten turned me on to this crazy blow out sale over at ShoeSteal.com For today only you every pair of shoes on their site is $29.99 or less. Including this pair of Anne Klein Pumps I snatched up for myself. However fair warning my friends. The site is slooowwww. Perhaps from all of us shoe crazed gals trying to score the deal of the century???? But trust me it is worth the wait.



This pair of shoes normally retails for $279.99! No that is not a typo. So hurry! Go now!

Flowers and Ribbons and Bows, Oh My!

It's Tuesday. The second day of my feminine details feature and today I bring you some beauties by Betsey Johnson and Anne Klein. As far as I'm concerned there aren't many who do feminine as well as Betsey. She knows what us girly girls like.

Betsey Johnson, Damara

There are lots of wonderful details to enjoy in this pump! From the pretty floral print to the sweet little bow that adorns the top of your toes and let's not forget Betsey's signature pink sole. I also love that the platform in encased in the floral print. Frankly these all but scream "I enjoy being a girl!"

Anne Klein New York Fantazee

Simple and pretty this flat sandal doesn't need any extras. The grosgrain ribbon weaves it's way through matching patent leather to create a girlish delight for any gal's feet. The green not tickling your fancy? These also come in black and pink.

Betsey Johnson, Nox

Argh! I lurve these! Ha ha! And so does my husband. Yet another sweet shoe brought to you by the queen of femininity. There are so many charming little details. The floral appliques, the beading, and the contrasting perforated trim has me all atwitter. Woo! And that heel. Super thin and 4 inches. Thank goodness for the platform as it will make walking in them just a touch easier.

Feminine Details

There are lots of feminine finds to be had this season. From bows, to flowers, to ruffles if it's dainty then you're in luck.

First and foremost after perusing the January issue of Bazaar the word in shoes was ruffles. I noticed lots of these sweet little details as I've been browsing the latest offerings on my favorite shoe sites. I am most definitely a girly girl and I couldn't be happier to see this sweet little detail being added to shoes. Bows have been ruling the roost for some time now and I am pleased as punch now that ruffles are finally having their day in the sun. What do you think? Are you loving this trend as much as I am?

Here are my top picks below.

Brunella - Steven by Steve Madden

Aw man, these are my absolute favorite! The coral color is so gorgeous but if that doesn't tickle your fancy these also come in black leather and a taupe suede. To me, however, the coral is where it's at. The ruffled leather adorning the t-strap is tres chic. This is most certainly a shoe that is going on "The List".

Boutique Nordstrom, Tally

Ugh, as if the ruffled strap didn't already make these girly then you add the sweet little bow into the mix. Not to mention the fact that the ruffle is comprised of grosgrain ribbon. I love the Caribbean hue but this fun little wedge also comes in malt(read brown), and pink as well.

Demy, Steven by Steve Madden

Yet another offering brought to you from Steven by Steve Madden. I've had my eye on these for a while now. The ruffles in not one, not two, but THREE tiers. That fabulous pewter color. The peep toe. Ultra feminine, ultra flirty, and immensely playful. Adorable!

Frugal Friday

You work hard for your money. It's the end of a long work week and what better way to end it than treating yourself to a pair or two of sandals that are fabulous yet they won't break the bank. I was taking a gander at the finds on Payless.com and here are a few of my faves. I know it's a little early in the year to be purchasing sandals but imagine the oodles of time you'll have to think of all the outfits you can pair them with come Spring!

Sydnee Gladiator

Metallics, and buckles, and straps, oh my! This looks like a great shoe for an even better price. A beautiful brushed gold hue that would look stunning against tanned legs. This gladiator sandal even features a padded insole for added comfort. Not too shabby, eh?

Snake Print Stud Sandal

I love that these sandals come in this great purple color. The simplest of square studs dots the top of your foot and that's all you need to look fabulous and chic for a bargain basement price.

Vallin Sandal

The intricate woven design makes this pair looks much more expensive than they really are. These come in a variety of colors. Besides the pewter, pictured above, you can find them in gold and silver.

So go on. Grab yourself a fistful of dollars and pick up a pair or two today!

Bedazzled! (Numero tres)

Steven by Steve Madden, Dominica

Rhinestone embellished ankles? Yes, please. I am dying to see these in person. I am hoping they will be at the Steve Madden store here in the ol' STL so I can try them on. I love the cut out cuff adorned with pretty sparkling jewels. This shoe will make a statement. This shoe needs me.

Report Signature - Dunbarton

This is another shoe that I would love to see in the flesh and try on. The Dunbarton is all about flash and sass. This one is certainly gonna get you noticed. Thick straps. Giant jewels. A sexy platform and 4 3/4 inch heel. Hot, hot, hot!

Bedazzled! (Part 2)

Money 2 Heel - Guess

Oo La La this shoe is a show stopper. These are certainly not for the feint of heart. The shiny gold snakeskin all but screams "Look at me!" but the embellishments are a little more low key here. I love the stud accents on the platform and the sexy peep toe. The above pair can be found at heels.com but if you are looking for a more understated version you can find them in black and espresso on Zappos.

Starrlit - Steve Madden

Oh dear. I think I may add these to my list too! I love that this gorgeous rhinestone adorned sandal has a heel strap instead of an ankle strap. I don't know about you but me+flat sandal+ankle strap = not cute. I have not been blessed with fabulous long legs and in my book that is definitely a must when it come to flat sandals and ankle straps. But heel straps. Now that is a strap I can be friends with. This shoe will really jazz up your wardrobe. These would pair perfectly with a sweet summer sun dress or floaty skirt.

Guess - Vashti

There is nothing like a strappy sandal to make a girl feel sexy. Now you've got studs thrown into the mix and you are sexy squared. Guess shoes brings you the Vashti. Another shoe guaranteed to bring the rocker out in you.
