Who says you can’t wear white in Winter? The weather outside might be frightful, but your footwear doesn’t have to be. Perfect with everything from jeans to your favorite little black dress, white footwear brings an unexpected dash of style much like fresh fallen snow in the South. Shine bright in a winter white bootie from heels.com this season and you’ll be one stylish snow angel.

Try this Not Rated Ruby Mix Bootie in Cream with your best fitting skinny jeans and an oversized sweater for a cozy look perfect for sitting by the fireside.

Glam up your holiday party look with the L.A.M.B. Joelle Heel in White Leather.

For a fashionable every day look, try the Report Annona Bootie in Stone with everything from leggings and a sweater tunic to your favorite floral frock and tights.

With it’s suede wedge, the Report Bowie Bootie in Stone can add a Mod edge to any ensemble.

Now throw on those winter white booties and go make snow angels for two hours, then go ice skating, then eat a whole roll of Tollhouse cookie dough as fast as you can, then snuggle. Or just go shopping, that’s what I’ll be doing with only 17 days left until Christmas!

It’s summertime and the open-toed heels are out in full effect and so are summer nail colors! There is no better way to show off a pair of great heels than a pretty pedicure and everyone knows nail color trends come and go about as often as clothing trends. My fave nail color brand is and always will be OPI for it’s anti-chip factor and these are a few of the hues I am loving for summer and of course some sexy summer heels to pair them with.

Corals

You can never go wrong with the staple Cajun Shrimp and tan tootsies.

Or fire up your feet with this Hot&Spicy Coral.

Show off the classy coral with this gold sandal from GUESS:

GUESS Joker in Gold

Pastels

This lavender-toned pink is perfect for poolside lounging (and just happens to be on my peds right now!)

Blues and greens are also hot for the hot weather and you can rock your Cattitude.

Pastels pair perfectly with a white sandal and these GUESS Chief heels are no exception:

GUESS Chief Heel in White Leather

Greige

Is it grey? Is it beige? Ah, who cares, it’s gorgeous greige!

Nothing goes better with greige toes than a peppy pink pump:

Luichiny Kam Me in Blush Satin

Neons

Nothing sets off a summer tan like neon nails and why not get a little green with the Shrek collection?

Or get your sunglasses out and paint on this lively lemon hue!

If you really want to be a daring diva, pair your neon nails with a sky high heel from L.A.M.B.

L.A.M.B. Denise Heel in Grey and White

Reds

Classic red nails never go out of style, but try a cherry hue for summertime.

Pump up your pedicure and rock a racey red with a strappy black heel.

Fergie Jigsawed in Black Croc

GUESS Trinket in Black Leather

What is your go to nail color? Mine is definitely Cajun Shrimp for summer and Lincoln Park After Dark in the winter!

It’s no secret that I love designer brands, however my career as a government employee does not always afford me the luxury of designer style. As far back as elementary school, I was all about a designer brand name. I remember in 5th grade it was all GUESS, all the time for this little stylista (and in the 5th grade GUESS is a high end designer!). If my mom even suggested that I wear Lee or Jordache (80’s baby!) brand jeans, I would throw a minor hissy fit. It took me a long time to realize that I didn’t have to have the most expensive designer brands to look stylish. Perhaps the fact that I had to start working for my own money and quit spending mommy and daddy’s money? Sometimes it is the thrill of knowing you found something that looks designer at a low price that makes shopping worthwhile. Thank goodness heels.com comes along with designer style looks when my budget is less than designer:

Are you a designer brand kind of gal or do you just go for what fits your budget and style?
