Step Into the New Year!

There's nothing like stepping out of one year and beginning the next with a bang. I like to think it all begins and ends with a great pair of shoes! My faves for the wide width shoeista are below!

I don't know about you but I keep falling in love with booties. Gabriella Rocha's Pembroke are smart and funky. And at $89.00, they're a steal too! 

Going dancing? Found these lovely, shiny thangs on zappos! Perfect for jeans or a colorblock dress. 

Whatever you are planning to do for New Year's Eve, remember to do it with lots of class and a whole lotta fun! See you in 2012!

Fabulous Flashy Flats

I must admit: I'm happy it's Spring--a new beginning. This winter was especially rough in New York but now it's time to put away those all weather boots and spring forward in some sassy new flats.

Yes, I said it. Flats. As far as I'm concerned, they are one of the key accessories for a Spring wardrobe. And the Ros Hommerson Monet's are most definitely at the top of my list!

Stay tuned--more fashionable flats to come! 

Ferocious in Fuschia



One of the biggest trends for Spring and Summer 2011 is the light pink shoe. But I'm really becoming a fiend for some fuchsia pumps. And I found them! For you. And me.



Chaney, Nine West, $85

These pumps served as the source of inspiration for this blog post! Of course, they are sexy. Of course they require a great pedicure. And even better, the color offers an abundance of opportunities to spice up the little black dress or a pair of jeans and a white tee.

Kutie Knot, Payless Shoe Source, $26.99

Two words: Charming and Affordable. If you love color but don't necessarily enjoy breaking the bank for a pair of pumps, these are your best best.


 I really wish that I could have found more great fuchsia pumps for this post, but alas, there is sometimes very little for a shoe diva with a wide foot to choose from.

Question: what color shoe trends are you looking forward to rocking in Spring and Summer 2011?

 










Divine Denim

Mariah Carey Sparkling Studded Platform Pump, HSN, $79.90

Every year, shoe designers come up with great trends--bejeweled gladiators, embellished heels, chunky heels and funky, fun colors. And every year, us girls with wide feet are either left in a lurch without the trendiest shoe on the shelf or if we're lucky, at least two designers will think of us.

And when this happens, there is no time to waste.

There's no time to think or second guess. All we can do is act! 

And that's how I'm feeling about one of the hottest trends for this season: the denim shoe.

Spring hasn't even begun and already Nine West has only one pair of denim flats in a size 9W left on their website.

I've found a few online sites who are still carrying denim shoes in a wide width. Get 'em while their hot!

Mariah Carey's accessory line on HSN features a number of wide width pumps--but the Sparkling Studded Platform Pump (shown above) most definitely takes the cake!

Kendal Knot Wedge, Payless Shoe Source, $19.99

Payless Shoe Source combines its sole wide width denim shoe with another great trend: the wedge heel. I especially like the detailing--the cute knot and peep toe, and cork wedge heel make this a great shoe for late spring and will take you throughout the summer.

Denim Cuff Sandals, Evans, $48

 

Last, but most definitely not least, is the denim cuff sandal. And I'll just let you all know now, that I will be rocking these during the summer. Available through Evans, the plus size UK retailer, this sandal is not only available in a wide width, but also a double wide!


So, now that I've unveiled these great trend, I must know from you--how do you plan on wearing the denim shoe?

Seek and Ye Shall Find: Wide Width Foldable Ballet Slippers

Iman Global Chic, HSN, $22.62

After a night of styling, profiling and dancing in your favorite stilettos, how do your feet feel?

If you’re like me, then a nigh of clubbing really isn’t worthwhile unless your feet are just a little bit sore!

A few years ago, I was at a Schecky's event and came across a vendor selling foldable ballet flats. They were cute. They were stylish. They were a great thought. And of course, no wide width was available.

Until now. Supermodel Iman has designed foldable flats through her company, Iman: Global Chic on http://www.hsn.com.  

Iman Global Chic, hsn.com $27.9

I stumbled upon these flats today while just browsing the Internet and was so happy to have discovered this wide width find that I had to share it with all of you.

Not only are the shoes featured available, but a few others as well. All foldable ballet flats are Iman's HSN site are on clearance right now--which means sizes, colors and widths are limited. But guess what? It is still a worthwhile investment.

I'm getting a pair and so should you! As promised, I will be posting more often. So please be on the lookout for my next post: Amazing Lace, How Sweet the Look!

All Weather, All the Time

Happy New Year! I've been away a long, long time. But I'm back!

And the picture to the left has served as the greatest source of inspiration for me to get this blog back up and running. Look closely: the woman to the left has on water repellant boots while the woman to the right? Well, her feet are bound in two plastic bags.

ASTONISHING

With all the snow, slush and downright harsh weather we've been experiencing in New York City, I've had no choice but to observe what people have been wearing on thier feet while riding the subway.

But seriously, there are too many great all weather boots available for any woman to resort to plastic bags. These are my ABSOLUTE favorite all weather boots:

I LIKE:

Tundra by

David Tate

Available in both black and a cognac brown, these all weather boots will help you feel refreshed even on the dreariest winter day!
 
Like I've said, I know that I've been away for more than a little while.  But I'm sincerely back and can't wait to begin posting again.
 
I'll leave you with this famous song to get you in the mood to buy a pair of stylish wide width boots!
