Stylin' Shoes 

Previous Posts

Fall is right around the corner, so we can't forget about "Fabulous Footwear!"  If your a true "Fashionista", then you know you can't start the next season without the best bags and shoes to boot!

Lovely  embellished sandals and strappy heels will help you finish off the summer, but you need to focus on the upcoming fall season to have your wardrobe truly ready!

                           Patterns are huge, with everything from floral prints in bright and bold colors and even a plaid or dotted print with a houndstooth flair is in. We see these patterns in both the flat or a blocky heel. 

                           Boots  will be back too, but in the shoe boot style that just covers the ankle. You will find them in patent lather, calf hair, suede and embossed leathers, snakeskin and even studded suede. Staying in the lines from summer in strappy sandals, the T-strap is played up again for this season.  Styles include added studs to suede, suede and patent leather, mixed metallic leathers, and leather with a shine to them.

                           Also, along with color you will see every type of skin possible out in the stores.  Python is dyed in different shades, embossed leather to represent crock, embossed leathers, calfskin & lambskin, and colorful snakeskin.  If you are the girl that never gave up on the pointy toe heels, you will be applauding loudly this season.  Pointy toes are making a huge come back in faux crocodile, flannel of all things, patent leather, suede and embossed leathers.

                            Menswear makes another appearance this season with a little twist  by adding bows and buckles for a fun flirty feminine touch.  You will see back zippers, color blocking of any fabrics and styles and also a lot of chunky soles.  Mens inspired tassels will also give the shoes an interesting touch. The color block look is far from gone, with a bright, bold, fabulous array of colors. Warm tones will stick together as well as cool tones and added cutouts with metallic touches will freshen up this look for fall.

                             Last, but not least, the ankle strap is out in both flats or high heels.  The feminine feel is seen through the styles whether in a thin or thick strap, calf hair or patent leather.  No closet is complete without a new pair of strappy shoes, so versatile that they can be worn with a pair of pants, dress, or skirt!

                             If you "Fashionista's" need a place to start shopping for the most "Fabulous Footwear" in Tulsa Town, then my personal picks have to be a toss up between Glass Slipper in Utica Square and J. Cole down by Riverside Parkway!   Plan a day out shopping with "The Girls"  and treat yourself and your "Feet" to Funky ,Fabulous, Fashion-forward, Fall Finds!
