If you like the basic oxford, then you will love this funky take on a classic shoe.  Unlisted’s “Sugar Cookie” shoe adds an open front and a subtle gradient for a touch of playfulness.  Pair these shoes with jeans and a tee or show off all the details by wearing them with matte tights.  Either way, they will certainly draw some attention. 

Choose from black or brown–or both!  $49.99 at heels.com

Nothing is more popular this season than menswear.  From crisp white shirts to high waisted trousers, women are putting their own twist on men’s fashion.  The best part of this trend is the shoes.  Lace-up oxfords now add the perfect amount of sophisitication to any outfit.  Pair them with slacks for a perfect look for the office or wear them with a skirt for an instant wardrobe update.

Valentino’s “Grosgrain” bootie epitomizes a modern take on Victorian glamour.  The open-toed bootie is accented with lovely side detailing and finished with a striking black bow.  The light gray suede stands out against the black trim and heel.  This shoe can be dressed up or down, but would make the biggest impact when worn at a black tie affair.
