If you’re a regular reader over at PurseBlog, you know that holographic materials are officially A Thing for…well, the pieces have been spread across Fall 2012, Resort 2013 and Spring 2013, but trust me, it’s a thing that’s happening.

It feels like we have seen it all, especially when you have designers like Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and Nicholas Kirkwood. Over the past few seasons, however, we’ve begun to see designers play around with various “tribal” or “ethnic” textures and patterns and see how they can be incorporated into flats, stilettos, pumps or boots. But the question remains: should we add tribal patterns, like the one on these FREEBIRD By Steven Caballero Over The Knee Boots with Woven Panels, to our everyday fashion vocabularies? Read More…
The biggest problem I have with bags is that they cost the equivalent of about two and a half pairs of shoes (or at least the shoes I tend to buy).

One of my favorite modern fashion tricks is the mixing of unexpected materials. For me, it all started with Fendi’s brilliant silk-and-lucite platforms several years ago. Since then, I’ve spent a lot of time mixing textures in my own wardrobe – leather and lace, denim and chiffon, suede and satin. It’s an almost no-fail way to look luxurious and but together a modern, stylish outfit. Read More…
I don’t know about you, but when it comes time to start shopping for a pair of high-heeled boots, it’s never an easy job. There are so many variations that sometimes the options can be daunting; how do you decide which pair suits you best? Well, take it from someone who is fortunate enough to be doing an internship that allows me to be surrounded by wonderful shoes: these Tabitha Simmons Heidi boots are the most versatile boot I have seen this season.
