Currently Craving: Slip-On Sneakers

Black Dress and Leopard Slip On Sneakers

With fall quickly approaching, I find myself obsessing over a new type of shoe game: the slip-on sneaker.  I know … I’ve only worn sneakers on the blog a handful of times, but after seeing my co-workers nail the look, I couldn’t help but be inspired.  This leopard pair is at the top of my wish list.

These kicks make any outfit look relaxed, yet still refined.  Before you go on discounting it as too tomboyish, try adding a pair to your favorite dress and I promise you: instant street style cred.  Check out three versions of the dress/sneaker combo and let me know which one is your favorite!

It looks like New York might finally be rubbing off on me.  This summer, I’ve been gravitating toward more neutrals than neons.  I’m especially loving the high contrast between black and white.  I know it’s not earth-shattering, but in a season full of brights and bolds, it’s refreshing to tune out the noise and keep things simple and sharp.  I recently picked up this black and white striped dress and have my eye on these crocodile print shorts.  What monochromatic pieces are you currently craving?

Spring Shoes

2014 Spring Shoes Trendsdress | booties | heels | wedges

It might not feel like it, but the official first day of spring is this Thursday and that’s the kind of occasion that calls for a new pair of shoes!  So whether you’re ready for open toes or not, there are three pairs that will get through every kind of occasion this season.

Spring Booties & Shoesone | two | three

Shoe #1: The Bootie.  Tired of wearing boots all winter long?  I feel your pain lady.  It’s not quite warm enough to bare my toes in NYC, so I’m gravitating toward a chunky heeled bootie (my current go to right here!).  I especially love them paired with a simple black dress and sans tights.  And the silver lining: booties season will give me some extra time to get my life together and give myself a pedicure!

Shoe #2: The Ankle Strap Heel.  I’m such a sucker for an ankle strap!  Whether they’re sleek and sultry to chunky and color blocked, I love that they how much they elevate an outfit.  If you’re on the more petite side, go for a thinner the strap.

Strappy Spring Wedgesseven | eight | nine

Shoe #3: The Strappy Wedge.  To all my Arizona friends who were already poolside back in January, you’ve probably skipped spring and headed straight into summer.  I’m slightly envious and counting down the days that I get to break out the strappy wedges.  I usually stumble around in heels, but wedges (especially a low wedge!) will always be jam.

What’s your shoe situation right now?  I’d love to hear what kind of kicks you’re looking forward to wearing this spring!
