Boutique 9 Alanee Pump

Dear Girlfriends,

With the winter season in full gear {just was snowing in metropolitan DC last evening}; we are all ready for some color beyond the dull gray, brown and black some of us tend to wear during the winter months.  Instead try a pop of color on your feet this winter.  Its guaranteed to make you feel better – its a trend you will love and it’ll make you feel good as well.

Here are some vibrant heels to consider; have some fun!

Bring a pop of bright color to your looks with these fun Deviaate platform pumps from Steve Madden. In rich purple suede, they feature a stylish peep toe and ankle strap for a unique touch.

Twinkling metallic accents spotlight the triple temptation of a mary-jane platform pump supported by a feminine wrapped heel.

Vince Camuto Mazin Pump

A dash of complementary color jolts across the concealed platform of a peep-toe pump set on an angled-cut heel for geometric glam.

A color-blocked platform and wrapped heel boost an architectural sandal structured with a crisply cutout vamp.

A wrapped heel and platform lift a round-toe pump shaped from high-gloss patent leather.

Jessica Simpson Evannan Platform

and wrapping these up!  I found this! Eye-catching flare at the back intensifies a precocious pump with a high hidden platform.

Girlfriends, don’t be blah this winter – embrace the season and give your feet something to smile about – you’ll be fab in colored pumps.

Until the next style adventure,

Monica

Dear Girlfriends,

Leopard print handbags can easily work well with a casual daytime look, a night time look, and even a business look.  We love that our fellow fashionistas can keep their outfits simple and use their bags as a statement piece.  We really dig animal print bags, and think this is a great piece for any fall wardrobe.

Richly textured calf hair patterned in a striking leopard print comprises a sophisticated satchel fronted with a casually sculpted nappa-leather bow.  Tactile calf hair lends trend-right texture to a leopard-print tote punctuated with gleaming dome studs.

Vince Camuto Handbag Wild at Heart

Leather handles and a chunky chain-detailed shoulder strap top the chic style.  The Fling is everything that the name conjures and more. Its the go-to style for occasions from red carpet to impromptu dance party for celebs like Shanae Grimes, who was spotted in her leopard Fling at Fashion’s Night Out in NYC!

Offering patterns in either delicate or bold print, chic leopard print handbags are available in all the current styles. When you think of a leopard print purse, typically the hues of brown and black leopard spots come to mind. Some prints are more subtle than others, but all are stylish and fashion forward in my opinion.  Check out this find from Vince Camuto; as the designer teams rich suede with leopard calf hair and textured patent leather in this striking flap bag.

MK Kors Leopard Print Tote

Or consider a refined leopard-print design distinguishes a chic, textured calf hair satchel topped with double handles.

Chloé 'Aurore - Printed Leo' Calf Hair Satchel

Handbag trends come and go, but the leopard print is here to stay. After all, leopard print bags have been around for a long time and they will continue to be crowd pleasers.

Until the next style adventure,

Monica
