Seriously these are not fair! Aquazzura has completely outdone himself this resort season. The primary color palette is refreshing, chic, visually stunning, and subtly sexy. I've had my good eye on these bad boys since November. I promised myself I wouldn't buy any thing in 2016 - personal challenge - but mama has no idea if she can resist!
Snag 'em at Bergdorf Goodman.
Shoe Damage: $695
Lovely Euro blogger I spotted outside the tents during NYFW donning H&M Studio Red Suede and Patent Leather Boots.
Hey lovas, Happy Monday! Hope you all had a marvelous weekend. I've been vying for Fall to hit the scene as I'm over the summer weather that never was! As temps steadily drop, sans the humidity from yesterday, my wishes are being granted and with that comes boot season. Short, tall, medium, slender, chunky, chained, buckles and straps, boot season is upon us and that means shopping time (well its always time to shop I mean who am I kidding)!
Here's a few boots, booties and the like on my 'these boots were made for walkin' wish list....
Chloe Ankle Boots (Howdy Cow Gurl). Shoe Damage: $1,345
Sergio Sexy Rossi Two Tone Ankle Stiletto Bootie. Shoe Damage: $860
Miu Miu Studded Platform Bootie. Shoe Damage: $1,250
Clearly, Chloe is doing the damn thang this season dominating this list.
Ciao bellas.
Walk Pretty!

Sneakers, Kicks, Gym Shoes, Tennis Shoes et al will be the shoe du jour on every fashionistas wishlist this fall. Over the past year we've seen the insurgence of the wedge sneaker, Isabel Marant, Nike and Adidas anyone? But this season, we kick into high gear with designers adding stylish sneakers, whether they be slip-ons or high-tops, to their already fierce fashion collections.
Being a sneakerhead myself - I was the girl with a new pair of Jordans on every week - I've always incorporated kicks into my wardrobe. I'm a true tomboy at heart so this paradigm shift is much appreciated.
The fun thing is, you can pair your chic sneaks with skirts, dresses, stovepipe pants or however you like, just don't be left in the dust! With that said, check out my top picks for the season. I promise you'll be ready to hit the pavement as if your name was Jackie Joyner Kersee!
Maison Martin Margiela Mirror Sneakers - make a lasting impression and step out in style!
Gotta love Miu Miu. These slip-ons are top on my list. They come in a myriad of styles ranging from studds to printed patent leather.
Giuseppe Zanotti Design. Sheer perfection. The gold buckles, the side clasp, the zippers it doesn't get any better than this when it comes to detail. I'd rock these with leather pants and a white tshirt.
Nike High-tops. Classic, simple and chic - check. The clean lines and solid color make these safe to play around with. I'd be daring and rock 'em to a black-tie affair and let these babies peak out from underneath a fabulous ballgown.
Balenciaga Alligator print sneakers are great for work and play. Pair with a pencil skirt and crop top or Canadian Tuxedo to stand out.
Riccardo Tisci Nike. Not new for fall and on every fashionista list and probably already in their closets are these. All I can say is, I need 'em, I want 'em, I gotta have 'em!
Happy shoepping gyals and as always click the images to purchase!
A few weeks ago I brought you the Best of the Web: Shoe Shopping edition and this time around I'm bringing you my top five euro based sites that have it all. I'm talking unique, exclusive and sometimes hard to find pieces available on a regular basis and all at the push of a button!
These sites have been my best kept secret for quite sometime, but now I share it with you. Enjoy....
1. Farfetch: with its ever growing popularity in the states, Farfetch isn't that far fetched anymore. I've been perusing and shopping the site for over 5 years. Always have great finds and their Rick Owens collection is to die for.
2. Harvey Nichols: another no longer so top secret site on my list. You can always find great YSL pieces, fantastic accessories and even better cosmetic options. They also have a great newsletter, which If I were you I'd sign up for right away and lastly, they just opened up Shoe Heaven - a floor completely dedicated to the best part of the outfit! This will be my first stop when I finally get to Londontown.
3. Mytheresa: a fiercely edited site boasting a damn near perfect collection of Chloe and Isabel Marant that never lets you down. The sales are great and what I love most is the thought that has gone into creating lookbooks for inspiration. Not only are you able to shop, but you're able to dream while doing it!
4. Luisa Via Roma: this Italian gem showcases the best fashion has to offer. The site curators understand how-to combine high fashion with street style with the selection they choose to sell. As a brand, the site owners host a biannual #Firenze4ever Bloggers conference in Florence which gets pretty intense as blogger invitees put together looks from pieces that are sold on the site. Love that! Need to get my butt there so show 'em how to build a look From The Bottom Up! p.s. the site is currently hosting an up 70% sale NOW.
5. Ekseption: My favorite of all is this Spanish gem that has a very selection selection of pieces that range from Mary Katrantzou to Dries Van Noten. A couple of years ago, I found the Charlotte Olympia Isla palm leaf sandal on sale and of course in my size! They have had my heart ever since.
There are tons more, but these top my list as I frequent them the most. Check 'em out during some down time and I probably shouldn't say this, but GET HOOKED AND BUY SOMETHING.
Ciao lovas
So I'm going to let you in on a little secret....ankle strapped heels are THE best. I've been obsessed with they style since I was a tot rummaging through my moms closet to find her black patent leather ankle strapped heels; I would pretend I was going somewhere fancy, the opera, a dance, shopping and the only heels suitable for the occasion were those ankle straps.
And just so you're clear, here's a few reasons why ankle straps just can't be beat...
Ok enough of that, you get the point. Check out some of my favs below....
Love these Gianvito Rossi Buckle Strap sandals. I'd rock these on the beach or at the club!
Sleek, chic and sophisticated these red patent leather Casadei's will spice up any outfit.
Chloe, Chloe, Chloe I can count on you for the rough, rugged and fierce all at the same damn time. I need these in my collection ASAP. Rain, snow or sunshine these leather ankle tie shoes will surely give you the case of happy feet!
My shoe designer crush, Sophia Webster hits the nail on the head every. single. time. Mama is definitely winning! I can close my eyes and see myself prancing down the street with these and some cute cutoffs and a white tshirt. aoww!
J'adore, J'adore, J'adore. Leave it up to, yup, Sophia again on her delicious shoe collaboration with J.Crew. I'm still on the hunt for these. Time to get on the phone with my crew connect.
Another shoe designer crush, Charlotte Olympia creates masterpieces full of detail and shape perfection. I'd rock these with a denim on denim look, just because I can.
Last, but most certainly not least, Tom Ford patent leather lock ankle straps. These look almost identical to my moms shoes from many moons ago. Need 'em. Want 'em. Gotta have 'em.
As always gyals click on the images for shoepping!
Ciao lovas.
