My Three Favorite Shoe Trends

1. The Fringed Boot 

Don't be afraid to flaunt some fringe. Pair moc-style boots with a look that isn't too bohemian. Rather than a flowy dress, go for structure or edgy minimalism.

2. The Gladiator 

The trend that refuses to go away. Wear them now with tights and keep on sporting them through spring. Because they have an edgy feel, I like to pair mine with softer fabrics and floral prints.

3. The Hybrid Boot
 Not quite a shoe, not quite a boot. Hybrid styles make it easy to feel sleek even when it's cold.


The oxford bootie falls into the hybrid camp and incorporates menswear inspiration.

Hey darling, sister blog looks...better than its non-existent sister! ha!

I didn't know you had those beautiful glads...wear them more!

Knee-high mocs would look great with an uber-short mini dress or a shorts-jumper, too.
