Killer kicks…

May 2, 2014

As I get ready to produce the Wine, Women & Shoes Fashion show tomorrow, I started thinking about the importance of shoes in a gal’s life. While I have always fancied myself a handbag girl, I am a sucker for a killer pair of shoes. Over the past several years, there have been a few shoes to come along to really shake up the footwear world. Here’s a quick homage to some of my favorites….
Isabel Marant Booties- A super cool combo of boho, chic and comfy! Remember those Guess Booties we all went nuts for in the 90’s? Well think of these of the much cooler, much more sophisticated older sister. Perfect with everything from a dress to leather pants, these have been a staple in my closet for years!

Yves Saint Laurent Tribute Heels- The sexiest sandal to ever hit the streets! Available in a rainbow of colors, these heels add the perfect finishing touch to any dress – and they look pretty fab with skinny jeans and a white blouse.

Lavin Ballet Flats- I fought the battle against wearing flats as long as I could. My legs are pretty muscle-y so anything without a heel can make look a bit obtuse. Enter the Lanvin flats with their ingenious hidden platform in the heel! Suddenly ballet flat wearing legs everywhere were looking a little longer and leaner thanks to these bad boys.

Christian Louboutins- Who knew the color red would make ladies everywhere so loco?! A real power shoe, these heels had women clamoring for a hint of red on their soles. They also really popularized the nude shoe- a perfect solution to that “What show do I wear with this weird color dress” dilemma; and a great way to give the illusion of a few extra inches on your stems.

    White Haute Shirts

We’ve been spending a lot time at our home in La We’ve been spending a lot time at our home in Lake Havasu lately for a change of scenery- I guess that’s one of the silver linings of virtual school. Whenever we are there, I challenge myself to a play game I like to call “Find cute clothes at @walmart ”- Perfect for #FrugalFridays!
I have to say if you are willing to search, you can actually find some cute pieces like this tie-dye T-shirt I scored for $9.98! I’ve always been a big proponent of mixing high and low so I’ll pair a T-shirt like this with some of my good jeans and bold accessories to balance to look. My favorite budget tie-dye pieces linked in bio.
Being a stylist I spend a ton of time in malls and Being a stylist I spend a ton of time in malls and stores and picked up this little nugget of wisdom along the way... @freepeople is one of my go to’s and as luck would have it, @macys online and some brick and mortars sell Free People and it is almost always on sale. I bought the henley in this picture for $21 at Macy’s while it was selling for $68 at Free People. Sidebar here for a moment, I love a good henley as an alternative to a plain old T-shirt! So my big take away is if you find something you love at Free People (and who wouldn’t) check out Macy’s before you buy! Check out my stories for some of my top pics for pieces currently on sale! @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/35R0Y
If you know me, you know that I love both puppies If you know me, you know that I love both puppies and hats 👒🐶 and while we could all use more puppies these days, today-  let’s talk about hats. It is the easiest way to turn an  outfit from drab to fab in addition to hiding roots, grease and grays or as I like to call it Covid hair.
I can’t tell you the amount of times I have had friends or clients say, oh I could never pull off a hat like you do. WRONG! Hats are definitely all about attitude so when you put one on you have to own it. If you think you can rock it, trust me you can. And if this past year has taught me anything,  at the end of the day, do you really care what anyone thinks about you?! My  favorite ivory hats linked in bio. @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/35LQc
