These fun, ankle-strap wedges are some that I would not mind having in my closet. The pattern is very nice and can make any boring outfit pop! These shoes are also available in nude and black, but the pattern is what's drawing me to this particular pair.
Available in black, nude, and a light tan, these block heels are gorgeous and a must have on my list. It is a nice neutral for any outfit, and I am split between the black and nude. Which color would you grab?
I have a nice pair of wedges similar to these heels (only without the buckles), and I adore them! For me to find a pair of heels that are very similar is incredible, and I want, want, want them! I can only imagine how much these shoes could go with. They can add a sexy and bold flair, and oh my yes.
I know that I've posted about this particular pair of shoes before, yet never purchased them. I think that the color block is really gorgeous and chic, making the neutrals come alive instead of becoming a base. So for those unsure about wearing nude shoes, then here is the perfect alternate - color block nude and black.
I have been finding a ton of sandals and gladiators over this past month, and being a Spring baby has ignited the desire for warmer and longer days within me. This particular pair of gladiators are very boho and look to be very comfortable, which is something that I look for when purchasing shoes. The tiny, raised heel also would be of benefit to me since my arches can sometimes ache when I walk in shoes that do not support my arch for too long. Oh! And the variety that these shoes could go with is limitless.
The beautiful red of these leather shoes is gorgeous! I do not own any red shoes, but I most definitely am looking forward to getting a pair. I mean, just look at these! I can foresee a wonderful pop of color in an outfit of neutral, or pairing with some red-on-red action.
So many fashion-forward celebs, bloggers, and even non-bloggers/celebs are starting to rock booties designed with studs. It is a wonderful combination that I really agree with (I even have a pair myself). Ever since I saw the red cowboy booties nearly everywhere, I have wanted to covet some of my own (but a neutral pair never hurts!). The underlying question is: can everyone rock The Ted Mosby?
The color red symbolizes strength, power, and passion. It also is know to be a color worn when wanting to feel sexy. One of women's favorite ways wear red is on their lips. Others include lingerie, nail polish, dresses, and even, dare I say it, shoes. The sad thing is that some women feel too intimidated to bust out the red pumps and elongate their legs. Instead, they grab the neutral black (and moving on to nude) pumps and keep it going. What needs to be known is that red shoes are not that hard to wear. It only takes the right outfit and a little bit of courage to do it. Trust me - the benefits you'll reap from doing so are so well worth it. An illusion of longer legs will be given (with heels), the color will look nice paired with tan legs and feet, and it'll be a nice pop of color against neutrals or patterns. Red is, after all, a bold color.
1. Pop of Color
Wearing red for what it really is (a bold color) is always a good choice. If you are not ready to add red as a piece of clothing just yet, stick with your footwear. It'll leave just about the same impression as if you were rocking a red bodice! Like Sienna Miller did in this outfit, sticking with neutral colors and adding a splash of one always works. Always. And the fact that those booties are really killer helps, too.
Black is a really amazing, neutral color that can be worn with pretty much everything. When people say "so-and-so is the new black," I shoot them a are-you-kidding-me look. Black is the new black, and it will forever be. One of the all-time classic pairings have been red with black, and I do not foreshadow that going anywhere. The combination sometimes irritates me because it is so common, but when worn right (I prefer the darker red with the black), it can look very fashion-forward. And like Luanna Perez from the blog LeHappy, red Lita boots can look very nice when paired with leather leggings, a black shirt, and a blue jean jacket.
3. Red on Red
If you like to dress in a quirky, feminine manner, then red-on-red is just right for you (especially in time for Valentine's Day). In this post on What I Wore, Jessica Quirk's outfit is kept neutral aside from a pop on the bottom from the tights and red wedges (and notice the lips and nails!). The combination created here is really feminine and flirty due to the ruffled skirt, business-casual because of the mixture of the striped shirt, scarf, and skirt, as well as fun due to the fun colors! Note that you do not have to keep the red limited to the bottom. A really cute, red dress mixed with some red shoes or tights can go a long way as well! One piece of advice is to just mix the shade of the red up to not overdo the look (compare the shade of the tights and shoes to see what I mean).
4. Business on Top, Party on Bottom
Remember the Orthodox Jew Ponytail from Pitch Perfect that Fat Amy wore? Take that and switch it into fashion, and you will have the classic outfit that you can wear to work. The fun play of color (and really hot shoes!) looks really nice paired with the typical dress for work. It can transition well throughout the day and never lose its charm. Don't be afraid to rock it bareleg, too! However, if that is a little too risque for your job, throw on some tights and call it a day! Don't forget a blazer would mold the look into a more appropriate one if you still need to tone the look down a bit.
This outfit reminds me so much of Sailor Moon: blue on the bottom, white button up, red shoes. Wyechin's outfit is a modern take on the show that I watched majority of my childhood. It's cute, fashion-forward, and flirty! Dressing like a character out of a television show or movie can always be a fun spin in getting dressed. Of course, making it your take on the outfit is what matters the most. Be daring like Wyechin and mix it up a little - the results can be gorgeous!
6. Casual It Up
Wearing red pumps do not always mean you have to be going somewhere fancy or anything. They can be worn for the most casual of affairs. ElePetrella makes the look work by making the base of her outfit a white ZARA dress, and jazzing it up with a red ZARA tweed jacket, red Arcadia bag, and red Bershka pumps. The look can be worn for just going to eat some lunch or something. The chunky necklace on top also makes the outfit. If you want to recreate an outfit such as this, choose a base color for your ensemble (make sure that it is not too dressy of a piece), throw on a jacket, and butter the rest up with red accessories. If you feel like the color needs to be broken up, throw in a leopard clutch or swap out the red jacket for a blue jean one. There are multiple options for recreating this outfit to fit you, all the while letting the red pumps take the lead.
7. Denim on Denim
Spice up your outfit by wearing the Canadian Tuxedo with a splash of red on the feet. Instead of sticking to the the neutral colors, throw some denim into the factor and it'll just come all together. The outfit will make you look well put together, yet it will take you minimum time to get ready. It's a win-win.
Colors that compliment red can always help make the outfit look better. For instance, the yellow in Lisa's scarf below pairs nicely with the red in the sweater and shoes. The colors do not clash, and it looks really good together! Lisa could have easily wore black wedges to go with this outfit, but she didn't and that's a good thing because I doubt the effect of the black wedges would be the same as the red ones. Oh! And a tip for wearing colors that compliment each other: wear the right shade! Sure yellow and red looks good together, but I am pretty sure that one shade or another may not compliment each other as well as another. Moreover, remember to be bold and stay bold.
Tune: I Need Your Love by Calvin Harris feat. Ellie Goulding
That feeling is amazing. You know what feeling I am talking about. It's the one where you find something so darn amazing, and you are glad that you just happened to discover it. Well, yeah, that's that feeling I am currently feeling. The reason that I'm feeling this way is because of the site Sole Society. Oh. My. Gosh. How have I never seen or heard of this site before!? There are shoes, bags, and accessories on this online shop, which (by the way) is not overly expensive. At all. Their stuff is being sold for a good price (ranging from twenty something to a little over a hundred (only purses are over $100 - I checked!) and I want some of it. On top of that, they send it all with free shipping. There is no "you. must. pay. fiff-tttt-yyyy dolllluhhhs." Can I get a what-what!
1. Ingrid Black ($64.00) These shoes are simply amazing (as Trey Songz would say it). I'm loving, crushing, and wanting them, oh la la.
2.Kirby ($59.95) Do you remember those striped flats from the former post (literally)? Well, these are the same pair, only in leopard print {I KNOW! Auh-may-zinngg}.
3. Karlene ($59.95) These flats are a. freaking. mazing. I am crushing hard on these {is there such a thing of shoe-crushes?}. These are pretty chic and can be paired with tons! There is no pair better (okay, maybe, but these are still grand!).
4. Sheila ($59.95) I am not sure if I want this pair, or the matching tan ones. Nevertheless, these are really hot and I think I am developing an odd leopard-print obsession {oops, sorry/not sorry}.
5. Malia ($49.95) Do you hear that? Yeah, that's my heart attacking my rib cage because these amazing shoes are giving me heart palpitations. Black and white, peep toe, straps? Oh yes. My best dream coming to life.
6. Selma ($49.95) This adorably chic pair of heels are something that my closet is calling for (y'know...because all of my inanimate objects can suddenly talk). I'm really digging the blue, by the way. If you're not, check out the red and black ones.
7. Lexi ($59.95) Summer is the time for bright colors...and metal. So these lovely flats most def got the memo! And I'd like them in a size 10, please. :)
8. Danette ($64.95) Mary Jane remembrance, anyone? These awesome heels provide the classic, chicness that every gal seems to want a pair of, and hey, I'm one of them.
9. Sammy ($59.95) I usually detest chunky heels as this pair possesses, but shoot, I can bend the rules (of my mind) for this. I am torn between these and the nude pair, but eh, I'd probably get them both in the long run (look at the price!).
10. Savannah ($59.95) Straps and buckles. Tan and white. What's more to love about these fab color block heels? Exactly - nada.
11. Adele ($59.95) {HAHAHA! The name. Okay, I'm done.} These color block heels are amazing. I can just picture all of the outfits that could match these.
12. Brynn($79.95) These boots are exactly what I've been looking for! It resembles western booties, and has cutout details. These would be perfect for Summer.
13. Cheryl ($89.95) Remember that one post where I told you guys my gram threw away my favorite knee-high boots (by accident, course)? Well, I still haven't got a new pair. But these could most def replace 'em! I cannot wait until Fall because I can see these in my closet!
14. Monroe ($119.95) This purse is so casual and chic, it's crazy. It seems like I can never just get a black purse (I have absolutely none), and seeing this one helps that cause in no way, whatsoever. I'm loving the colorblock of it.
15. Peter Pan Stone Necklace ($49.95) It is a true statement necklace that I am adoring. Gold and turquoise is always a great mixture, and this necklace sure is proving it!
16. Leather Pyramid Stud Bracelet ($39.95) Studs and gold is a fab mixture, so just adding it on this thick, leather bracelet was a smart move. This piece would be the eye-catcher of an outfit, so be careful with matching it with already bold, and eye-catching stuff.
17. Peter Pan Chain Color ($34.95) Okay, there is only one word to describe this piece of jewelry: sofreakingawesomeandcutethatcanijusthaveit? Haha, no, really, it is the perfect statement jewelry that can go with any. freaking. outfit. Try it. (or close to any. freaking. outfit.)
18. Tribal Statement Necklace ($49.95) This statement necklace is so darn pretty! It is so unique. The tribal pattern is really adorable and I'm just falling in love with this necklace. {future reference: add to wish list}

Song Choice: 'Make It Mine' by Jason Mraz. It is a amazing song that I love (of course!). Jason's music has always been pretty awesome, so this song (that is not new, btw) is no exception. From his album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal things, Jason has made me fall in love with his voice and lyrics. It's so darn surreal. Check out the song below!
