Hunter Boots

Colorful Rubber Boots by Hunter from Zappos

With all the rain we have been experiencing this weekend it is not surprising that these Hunter Boots caught my eye. Hunter boots are completely waterproof, super flexible and have a cushioned foot bed. Here is a very short video showing offer their qualities:

But more importantly they have great colors!

Colorful Rubber Boots by Hunter from Zappos

  • The Hunter Originals ($135) come in seven wonderful colors but I love the yellow.
  • The Hunter Original High Gloss’11 ($125) comes in vermilion red and this most awesome orchid.
  • The Hunter Huntress ($125) in high gloss red looks like it has a wider calf than the original.
  • The Hunter Arnie ($195) comes in three colors but I especially love these graphite ones.
  • The Hunter Original Short Gloss ($125) comes in three colors but the pillar box red is tops.

The originals only have a 15-16″ calf so if you typically have issues with your calves fitting into these types of boots they are not a safe bet. The shorter boots still give enough of coverage and there is usually less issues with calf width at those heights.

The Desert Wedge

TOMS desert wedge boots

TOMS has been around for a few years and I have mentioned other favorites from their line of earth and people friendly shoes but they have a new addition for (pre) fall — the Desert Wedge Boot:

The Desert Wedge is $89 and comes in three colors that pretty much go with everything. I especially love the grey. It is not a super high wedge so it should not be too much of a killer but if the wedges are not your thing then be sure to check out their new Tomboy Boots which are equally cute.

Platform Shoes

June 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment
yellow platform shoes from Zappos

Want some height without sacrificing your feet to six inch heels? Then go platform, baby!

What are platform shoes? Basically, platforms shoes give you a few inches of height in the toe section without increasing the rise in the heel. Traditionally a platform base would be four inches but many of today’s platforms start at two. So a three inch heel rise could be on a two inch platform giving you a total height of five inches or you can be wearing four inch platforms and have your foot completely horizontal. Platforms can come in sandals, sneakers or boots.

To say that Zappos has oodles of platform shoes is really an understatement. I could have spent hours looking at the different styles and price ranges available. Here are eight pairs of my favorite platforms:

Many of the above shoes come in color/print variations.

  • Nine West BeAlright in dark orange, $99
  • Ted Baker Luzula in tan leather, $220
  • Luichiny Need A Pair in yellow (comes in an awesome turquoise too!), $81
  • Steve Madden Pammyy in blue suede (the name makes me think of Pam from True Blood), $67
  • Luichiny Ca Sandra in pink, $89
  • Nine West Larysa in gold silver, $79
  • KORS Michael Kors Virasana in dark tan vachetta, $225
  • KORS Michael Kors Sahale, $275

Embellished Flat Sandals

June 6, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Life is not all about what heels you are going to wear. Some days we just need to go flat but going flat does not mean boring. Especially if you can find a little embellishment along the way. Like these cute embellished flat sandals from Payless.

The Women’s Whitney Sandal, $14.99 – They come in four colors but my favorite is the electric blue.

The Stanford Embellished Sandal, $24.99 – They also come in pink but I prefer the classic look of the black.

Doesn’t it feel good to wear an embellished sandal? Sorry! I just had to ask. Do not hate me because I am corny.

The Summer Espadrille

May 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Color Block Espadrilles from Zappos

Year after year they keep coming out with cuter and cuter espadrilles. I bet you thought an espadrille had to have a wedge heel. Not so! They can also be open or flat. What makes an espadrille an espadrille? Traditional espadrilles were actually a flat shoe with a cotton upper and a jute sole. Fashion has made them more exciting. As you can see from my Zappos espadrille picks I tend to lean more to the wedge heel. Ok, I also went a bit crazy with my picks — there were just so many to choose from!

Espadrille sandals from Zappos

The brands shown here left to right are:

  • Naya Colette ($105), Bella-Vita Coconut ($80) — comes in a few colors, LAUREN by Ralph Lauren Damian ($59) — comes in a few colors
  • Circa Joan & David Norabel ($85) – a few color choices), GUESS Kambraly ($115), Calvin Klein Harlo ($99)
  • Acorn Espie Ballet ($65), Earthies Tortola ($169) – few colors, Isola Olencia ($143) – few colors
  • Type Z Mollie Espadrille ($53) – few colors, Nine West Skipnjump ($79), Sofft Morocco ($99)
  • CARLOS by Carlos Santana Bali ($79) – few colors, UGG Lucianna ($150) – few colors, BC Footwear Smirk ($70) – few colors
  • Nine West MiAmore ($89) – few colors, Vidorreta Jamie ($72) few colors, Naturalizer Sailor ($59) – lots of colors

To shop just for espadrilles at Zappos use their handy search form and type in “espadrilles” once the options come up go to the left and click on “women” to reduce your selection. You can also reduce it further by size, width, and price if you go down the sidebar.

Woman Within is getting into the spring spirit with their bright sandals for spring but they are not leaving behind the necessary neutrals. They had a lot of my favorite bright colors; with great heel heights too. Here are some of my favorites (all priced under $55):

Shoes with Prints

foral print shoes from Shoes

One of the hottest trends for shoes this spring and summer is prints. I have not fully embraced this trend but am not totally against it either. I guess like a pattern top it comes down to finding the right pattern — not every print is a winner — and not every print is for every woman. Here are a few of my favorite print shoes from Shoes.com

  • Naturalizer Women’s Lulianna ($78) / MIA Women’s Raspberry Swirl ($59)

Sand Gold Sandals

wedge sandals from Naturalizer

I am so infatuated with Naturalizer lately. A new look book came today and I fell for at least ten items (bags and shoes) but I have been eyeing these gold/sand sandals for a few weeks now. I think they would be a perfect neutral sandal for spring and summer. They come in a variety of heights for all tastes and/or needs.

I especially like the Framed Caravan (4th and 6th) because they offer a nice height without sacrificing the foot. Naturalizer has both regular, narrow and wide width shoes.

So… are your toes painted for spring yet?!

Besides an awesome clothing line for plus size women, ASOS has an obscene amount of shoes to choose from. I did not even begin to delve into the depth of what is available (over 1000 styles). Prices range from $30 to $600+. I know, quite the variance. Here is just a sampling of my favorite funky shoes:

Red Western Boots

March 2, 2012 By 1 Comment
Bright Red Durango Western Boots

That is right, I said red western boots. If you are going to go western this year then do make them red. Not because it is a new trend but because I said so. I love the looks of red western boots; especially if they are really worn. I want to see more women wearing them. That is all. One of my favorites is the Durango (loove Durangooo *weird singing voice*) from Boot Bay:

Bright Red Durango Western Boots

These beauties would look lovely with skinny jeans (black or bright blue) and a classic white shirt; and most definitely with frilly maxi skirts, cami. and worn denim jacket.

These beauties are $105 (free shipping).

Snake Skin (Print) Boots

February 14, 2012 By Leave a Comment
snakeskin / python print boots from Zappos

Pretty much any item from head to toe can be covered with a snakeskin print, what has become one of the most popular prints of the season, but of all the things I have seen so far… dresses, belts, jackets, tops… I think these Keegan snakeskin boots by Matisse from Zappos are my favorite so far. To coin a phrase, “they are so pretty!”

snakeskin / python print boots from Zappos

They definitely call for a monochrome look to really set them off. Black of course works but I think all grey or all ivory would be equally effective.

Snakeskin or python print demands attention and if worn should be a feature of your outfit. Have you ventured into the world of snakeskin prints or is it a print you stay clear of?
