We recently read an article where female executives were no longer interested in wearing high heels. When you think about it, being on their feet all day, running from meeting to meeting, and with the menswear-inspiration trend, who can blame them. In fact we've given up wearing heels during NYFW all together, it just doesn't make sense to punish your body running from show to show with no break in between. It's moments like that, that makes us welcome the ease, style and comfort of a menswear, woman's shoe like the
Pour La Victoire Hila3CB Spectators. Of course just because it's a man's shoe silhouette, doesn't mean it has to be boring.
This edgy style boasts a textured (a basket weave pattern), black and white with glossy black leather upper, cross over buckle closure, almond toe, textured soles, and a very comfortable 1 1/2" block heel. We love the invigorating spin the black ad white color and pattern adds to this classic men's style and we'd happily rock it day and night.Looking at add it to your wardrobe?

We've always loved what Gwen Stefani has been offering for footwear, and her lower priced collection is no exception (being a bit "budget-challenged", we actually greatly appreciate it saving on our spring shoes). Her new GX range offers sandals, high heels, slides (sorry no flip flops), in rich colors, bold graphics, cool metallics, and sleek cutouts . GX is said to be
"inspired by cold weather hues and energizing textures". Today we highlight her

There's been much debate about the slide silhouettes (mules, clogs....), many people (like me) love them, especially when they are heeled, but many others would rather they disappear. I rather like a unique slide, especially when it's a chic style that works so well with your wardrobe. Take for example, this unique slide. This
Jessica Simpson Marah Wedge Slide features a soft black and white leather upper (as you know, these two colors together are so on-trend) in a color block pattern, open-toe silhouette, thick multi-straps lay across the vamp for a touch of edginess, and a very modern 4" wedge heel with 1/2" platform.
