Spring Trend: Silver Shoes

Neiman Marcus told me that silver shoes are a spring trend. My mom told me not to believe everything that people told me, but I’ll choose to believe this one only because I’m all about metallic. Not head-to-toe metallic (though that certainly makes a statement), but metallic pieces to accent a look — they’re a fun way to modernize any outfit.

What are your thoughts on this trend? Shop silver shoes at Neiman Marcus here. My favorites from the collections:

Christian Louboutin: Lady Peep Painted Python Slingback

Vera Wang: Lavender Rox Bejeweled Thong Sandal

Yves Saint Laurent: Tribute Two-Tone Metallic Sandal

Christian Louboutin’s Fall Collection

Like many women, I have a slightly unhealthy love for beautiful shoes. One of my good friends even has an entire closet devoted to her impressive shoe collection (and yes, I’m jealous of that). Even though I’m not really in a financial place to drop $1,500+ on a pair of stilettos, it sure is nice to look. Check out Christian Louboutin’s Fall Collection here.

How fun are these?!

Or these?! I would totally wear these to work…maybe…

Flatform Shoes = Trend Fail

Who created the ‘flatform‘? It’s a platform flat. Though women often do wish to appear taller than they are – hence the demand for 4″ stilettos - I’m not sure strapping bricks to your feet is really the way to achieve such an illusion. I haven’t seen this “trend” in Chicago or surrounding burbs (thankfully!), but regardless of whether it makes its way here or not, I vote trend fail.
