Two constant summer shoe staple trends year after year have been espadrilles and sneakers. Seriously, can you remember a summer in recent years where this has not been the case? Well guess what? Just like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups the two have joined together for this summer season. The “espasneak” (as I like to call it) is popping up everywhere.
So you’re staring into your closet at a sea of black and it’s black you like to wear. Truly. But how to you give it a holiday lift? Easy. You add some glitter, sequins or rhinestone shoes! That’s right. Glittery shoes not only make you (the wearer) happy, but they cheer everyone else around you and make them happier too.
Just as a statement necklace makes an outfit pop and a good bag can really add oomph to any ensemble, so can a shoe “make” or “break” an outfit with its subtlety, suitability, or prominent power. Let these four celebs show you how it can be done, for better or worse.
At first I was not sure this trend was age appropriate. Then Carol and I got to talking about how to style fall’s hot shoe trend: block heel ankle strap pumps and I was won over. They are a more sophisticated Mary Jane style and I particularly love the ones with multi straps. You can go a little crazy with the pattern since baroque and florals are so in this season but that could look a little too trendy if you are over 40 and don’t know how to pull the look off properly (don’t go there unless you really know what you are doing or are a fashion risk taker). A safer bet is a black suede, patent or velvet block heel ankle strap pump
Oh how I miss David Bowie! I am still crushed he is gone from this earth. But in a beautiful tribute to the late great musical genius, his 70’s style over-the-top boots are actually on trend for Fall ’16. Now I know most of our readers think we might be insane for suggesting this trend, but hear us out.
