You better believe it, jelly shoes are making a comeback – Marc Jacobs and Missoni have picked the classic childhood shoe favorite up and it is bound to be a staple footwear choice for the warmer seasons. (Very much like how business insurance is a staple choice – as in NO CHOICE – for business owners )

Here is what SheFinds has to say:

A combination of a rain resistant shoe, a childhood memory, and a ballet flat the jelly flats will let your feet breathe easy and bring about nostalgia over the days of jelly sandals worn at (well, in) the pool and ocean. The perfect worry-free show, the jelly is a no brainer. Although it may not be the most stylish thing you own (it has the ugly cute thing going), we promise it will see much wear this spring and summer.

TOMS ballet flats are already out and I am one of those women lusting after every style. Hopefully I would get to buy one when my friend comes home from the US. I have big feet (size 11) so buying it here is as hard as trying to BBQ in an outside grill in the middle of winter.

I currently have the TOMS red classic flats and would love another more color-friendly pair, like navy or brown. But how cute are these painted TOMS?

And just in case you need a TOMS ensemble:

The weather is getting colder and most people, especially women, I know are excited for fall because of one thing: they can bring out more clothes. Most fashionistas have fall/autumn as their favorite season because of more fashion choices. Layering, more outer clothes, more shoes to choose from!

Because there are more clothes to wear this season, naturally, there will also be more shoes to choose from. Just like in cars, you need to replace your oldsmobile cutlass custom floor mats everytime you reupholster your car seats (or at least have them cleaned).

Here are some tips from FabSugar:
* Invest in a pair of standout booties this Fall. Wear them alone with skirts and dresses during the transitional months, then layered with thick tights and warm sweaters come colder temperatures.
* Dressy loafers are a functional and comfortable way to stay chic this season.
* Experiment with velvet; this luxe textile adds instant dimension to any look.

Who doesn’t want to own a Louboutin? I have seen it more often than any other shoe brand strutted by most Hollywood celebrities. It is more than enough to make me want one, obviously! While I am not really a women who likes to wear heels, I acknowledge the need to wear it on special occasions. And when you need to wear heels on special occasions, christian louboutin heels is going to be your best choice. Most would prefer the signature or classic red christian louboutin or the black patent pumps, but I am drawn to the nude Christian Louboutin ‘Lady Daf’ PumpsI have seen in most celebrity blogs lately.

These beige colored leather platform pumps feature a single buckle strap and a six inch heel and retail for $995. (Did I just really like six-inch heels? I’m going to be more than 6 feet in these stunner heels then!) Check out some of the many celebrities wearing them (including Beyonce Knowles and Kim Kardashian):

Have you ever wondered why Louboutins always feature a red sole? According to an interview, Christian Louboutin narrated how the red sole was an accident. The first prototype of his shoes arrived and he was happy with it but felt something was amiss. He grabbed an assistant’s red nail polish and painted on the sole – and that was it! Red soles became the trademark of Louboutins!

For shoe-aholics, you don’t need steiner binoculars to spot a great pair of shoes. I blogged about nude shoes that are seen more often than usual in the red carpet lately. Now there are these so-called blush shoes (image details from the Possessionista)

I love that these pairs have a tint of pink them (hence the term blush) – which one is your pick?

With the breeze getting warmer and sunshine more visible the time for winter to say its goodbye is almost near and people are now looking forward to welcome the summer season. The season of fun in the sun is probably the favorite of anyone who loves fashion mainly because you get to try on different outfits, show off those curves or go bold by making a fashion statement. No need to wear those layered and bulky clothing as its time to show some skin.

Keeping up with the latest trend in fashion is important especially if you want to make some heads turn. For this summer, the forecast is all about brightly colored shoes that perfectly describes the warm season. Runways were filled of clothes that have too much color and the same thing goes for women’s shoes. While black patent pumps will still remain a top favorite, this will only suit formal events at night. Women are encouraged to be more daring when it comes to styling and don’t be afraid to mix and match their outfits.

Imagine yourself wearing a high heeled platform sandals in orange or yellow, sounds like fun right? That’s exactly what the designers are trying to achieve, a way for women to enjoy their footwear even when outdoors. Of course high heels are not the safest bet if you’re planning to go for a long walk but you can stay with the color block in choosing comfortable flats.

Floral prints will always be a summer staple so if you are gearing up for a fashionable summer, better get those shopping bags ready and hit the mall.

Boots are essential to almost anybody. Those who do not need them are quite few. Those who need them but do not own a pair may be due to financial constraint (not that the boots they need are expensive but the price is just way out of their budget).

Let’s start from babies. You actually call them booties because they are so small and they are almost sock-like. Boots for babies cover their feet for warmth and not actually for walking since they still are carried around.

When they reach their toddler age, they begin to walk then run a lot. Boots protect their ankles from getting sprained if they fall (which often is the case). They get support from boots which ordinary shoes cannot give.

When they go to school, boots give further protection from kids who are rowdy. Most boots offer toe support that when stepped on, will not hurt your precious preschooler’s toes. (Some schools, though, insist on specific kind of footwear.)

In high school, many teens go for boots not because they need it but oftentimes for fashion purposes, especially the girls. The boys start wearing combat boots at this time too as they are trained for the army. When they reach the age are already required (some countries do not require the men to go into the army), they get to choose their duty boots that they know will be the best in line. Those waterproof boots will help their feet stay dry when they have to go through the rain or storm. If they have grown to have wide feet, they can go for wide width boots.

In certain situations, boots are also called for like when you have to walk the snow or if you have to wade through floody roads (of course your boots should be higher than the water) especially if the water is stagnant. You will most likely get sick of the stagnant water if you do not protect your feet.

So, have you gotten your boots yet?

New shoes for you!

Design house Liberty of London is back with another floral-printed Nike collaboration–the first, in 2008, was so limited, it sold out nearly immediately. This time around, they’re really hitting the pavement, with more styles and quantities.

Today is the TOMS Shoes annual One Day Without Shoes event, where people and celebrities around the world will go barefoot to raise awareness about those who can’t afford shoes. Various  events are being held worldwide to commemorate the day, but if you are not able to go barefoot, check out the other ways to get involved on the Tom’s site, buy a pair of TOMS in support their One for One cause

Spring is here and the weather has been nothing short of amazing in some areas in the US. It’s time to give your Ladies Boots a rest and take out those sandals and flip flops! Gladiator Sandals are still the trend, based from what I still see in the streets.

What I like about being a woman is the fact that there are a hundred ways to be stylish without going broke. Cheap Shoes are abundant online, and you don’t have to sacrifice quality and design just because of the price. Cheap Sandals from Wynsors can give most high-end shoe stores a run for their money. Womens Boots are being offered too!

I have size 11 feet so finding shoes which are trendy, affordable and are made of great materials is hard for me. So whenever I discover a shoe store that carries my size and taste and doesn’t rip me off, I hoard!
