Crocs get ... stylish?

Filed under: Shoes

Dangerous Diva Crocs
Looks like the Crocs haters have finally gotten through to the company that brought the garden clog into mainstream fashion (and, as far as we're concerned, contributed to the downfall of civilization at the same time). Crocs has started a new line, YOU by Crocs, which is designed to appeal to those who are both fashion conscious and in need of a comfortable shoe. But, as we've already mentioned, we're not buying.

Flatter Your Figure - Fab Fall Dresses for Plus Size Babes

Filed under: Dresses, Flatter Your Figure

plus size dressLadies, just because a size eight better describes your shoe size than your dress size, there's no reason you shouldn't be just as fashionable as those lucky enough to have a super high metabolism. Style exists for women of all shapes and sizes, although, admittedly, it is tougher for those who wear plus sizes.

Crazy cravings: Purple Suede Boot Lust

Filed under: Runway Trends, Accessories, Shoes

Seeing purple everywhere for fall has somehow invaded our brain and now we can't stop thinking about purple suede boots.

Even though they are completely impractical for the San Francisco winter rains we are sure to experience, we're so tempted to get a pair to wear on the rare clear day. They are dressy yet can go casual, and make a very definite fashion statement: Fear Not Color On Your Feet!

Up to the knee or gracing our ankles, sky high or in a more moderate medium heel, round, pointy or open-toed, you can find the purple suede boot that is perfect for you.

In the gallery, our top five choices. Now we just have to figure out which ones we can afford. As good as the Jimmy Choos look, at $1,395 it would be the boots or food -- we just can't afford both!

Flatter Your Figure - What about shoes?

Filed under: Shoes, Flatter Your Figure

You can wear the most gorgeous dress, or put together the most flattering jeans and top, but so many people make a mistake when it comes to the last accessory they put on -- their shoes. You might not realize it, but the wrong shoes can take you from looking long and lean to appearing short and stumpy.

Of course, if you start off with the right pants, that's a great start, as is wearing the right style for your shape. And once you've done that, we've got the right shoes for you! Check out the gallery to see how you can look stylishly slim while still (hopefully) being able to walk.

Shoes of the day - Aquatalia by Marvin K. Volt

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves


Rainy days need not be frumpy days with this high-fashion boot from Marvin K. Volt in shiny grey faux-croc leather. We'd personally be a little, oh, reluctant to step into a puddle in boots that cost this much, but they promise to be 100% weatherproof - and they say you get what you pay for, right?

Made of shiny leather (but thankfully, NOT patent leather) these boots will add a sexy touch to your fall uniform of tights and a sweater dress. The gleaming silver buttons running down your leg will make your gams look a mile long.

I want that! Blake Lively in Michael Kors

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Get the Look



Stylish actress Blake Lively brought her fashionable mother to the Michael Kors show during New York's fashion week. While they both looked equally glam, we'd have to say that Blake's contemporary take on a Mod shift dress stole the show.

Simply accessorized with a black exotic skin clutch and black strappy heels, Blake knew that she just had to let that dazzling dress shine.

Random strange boots at Fashion Week - StyleFoul!

Filed under: Runway Trends, Shoes, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes



We don't know what is going through people's minds when they get dressed. While browsing some pictures from Bryant Park this week, we were struck (nearly dumb and senseless, but lucky for you we recovered our wits) by the absurdity of the boots people are pairing with short skirts and bare legs.

Here is a reminder: boots are for cold weather. They offer an additional layer of protection for your legs. If they are opened toed or so floppy that they drag on the ground, then they are bad boots. Also, they look stupid.

The StyleFouls were so plentiful that we had to do a whole gallery. Look at your own risk, but for the love of good taste, do not emulate these fashion mistakes!




Rain, rain, come and stay - Fun, affordable footwear for rainy days

Filed under: Shoes

In some parts of the country, it is hurricane season. And while not everyone is experiencing severe weather, many of us are still getting soaked. Rainy days tend to make us want to curl up on the couch with a blanket and the latest issue of Vogue, but, unfortunately, we sometimes are obligated to leave the house.

The right product (and a good umbrella) can keep our hair from frightening small children, and truth be told, we love a fashionable rain coat. However, we tend to get frustrated with the shoe situation. Galoshes just aren't sexy, but we're not willing to ruin our shoes. What's a stylish but sopping wet gal to do?

Why aren't you wearing this? Jessica Simpson 'Bodey' Tan Boot

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Shoes, Must Haves


This season, flat boots are supposed to be all the rage, and we're geeked about this for two reasons. First of all, it's always nice to have flats in fashion for the comfort factor, if nothing else. And secondly, tall, casual boots are the perfect way to take some of our summer dresses into the fall season.
