Behold another emerging footwear brand we're excited for. Founded in 2014 by sisters, I-Chia Ou and Annie Ou, Fleur et Rosée ("Flower and Dew" in French), features beautifully handmade shoes with a lots of edge (just look at their incredibly trademark heel). Today's Shoe of the Day is the Fleur et Rosée Miss You Are No Lady Shoes, a spectator and Chelsea boot hybrid with a high back and lots of hardware. These stunning shoes are part of the Fleur et Rosée's Petal 1 : Rewind Collection, the debut collection for the brand, who crafts their footwear in the Tuscany region of Italy, by experienced artisans.

The Miss You Are No Lady Shoes are so named because they are inspired by the quote Rhett Butler said to the very strong-willed Scarlett O'Hara in the movie, "Gone With The Wind". Indeed, this Limited Edition, menswear silhouette boasts a Box Cow Leather upper, pointed last, forty-three small rounded spikes on the vamp and tongue, a hex spike on each side (celebrating Scarlett's strong-willed personality), and an approximate 1 1/2" wood and metal combined heel.

The Fleur et Rosée Miss You Are No Lady Shoes retail for a whopping $895.00 at www.wolfandbadger.com.

This year, it seems we've had April and may showers, so today we bring you some flowers for June. Sebago has teamed up with Liberty Art Fabrics to give their iconic shoes, a very cool and modern edge. Today's highlight is the Sebago Hutton Liberty Art Fabrics Shoes in three "avant garde" textile designs.

This traditional menswear footwear style, re-imagined as a newest women’s ballet flat, is made much more feminine and fun in the Tatum floral print (our favorite), the Karter print (which look very much like quick short brushstrokes), and the Perisa paisley print. The slip-on shoe itself features cement construction for lightweight durability, cushioned footbeds, and a combination of a leather and rubber outsole and 1/2" stacked leather heel. These hypnotizing printed shoes normally retail for $110.00, but are currently on sale for $99.99 on www.sebago.com. We recommend you take advantage of these limited edition prints before they are gone.

Can one have too many boots during the fall and winter seasons? Of course our answer will always be no. This is the season of boots after all and with wardrobes that changes colors like the leaves, it's better to have ample footwear options. There's no many boot options from BED|STU this season including short and tall boots, wedge boots, block heeled boots, and so on; boot styles that are sure to compliment your ever changing seasonal wardrobe.


The above Insight, and Isla Boots (shown respectively) are top favorites for us. The Insight Boot is a unique high heel slip-on bootie with flexible goring for easy on and off, contrasting vertical slits, and a 3 1/2" heel; the Isla Boots feature a full grain leather upper and rustic finish with antique brass buckles, ankle strap, and a 3 1/2" stacked leather heel. With these boots, your street style is elevated.


Not too far behind of our most wanted BED|STU boot list are the Fen, and Loxley Boots, and the Onset Peep-Toe Boots. Both the Fen Boots and Loxley Boots feature dual accent side laces with flat studs on top of the shaft. The difference between the two is the Fen is a short boot and the Loxley a tall boot. We love the fact that fans of this style are given the option of a short or tall shaft. Both styles also feature a hand finished all leather upper, Goodyear welt sole, with rubber traction outsole, and a 1 1/4" leather stacked heel. The edgy and seductive Onset Peep-Toe Boots boast a luxe, hand-dyed full grain leather upper, peep toe, back zipper closure, and an on-trend 3 1/2" heel.


Just like the Fen and Loxley, the Ashwell, and Blackburn Boots boasts the same details in short and tall boot versions. Both feature a rich full grain leather upper, handwoven toe detail, with ankle and shaft buckled straps with the same woven details, Goodyear welt sole with rubber plates for traction, and a 1 1/4" heel. While the Ashwell features the shorter 8" shaft, the Blackburn is just a little over double that height at 16 1/2".



Next are two short boots which feature all their cool details in their shafts. The Dutchess Boot is a short, leather slip-on bootie detailed with decorative shaft perforations and a 2 3/4" wedge heel. The Begin Boot features a rich full grain leather upper, triple buckled ankle straps that can be crisscrossed, 5 3/4” side zipper closure, Good Year welt outsole with 2 1/2" rubber traction heel.


Last but not least, the last BED|STU shoes we're highlighting isn't a boot but we love this footwear style as an alternative to boots. The Lita Wingtip Oxford features a hand-washed, hand finished leather upper, a classic wing-tip toe with decorative broguing and pinking detail, contrast stitching, and a Goodyear welted sole.

Be still our beating hearts for we have been introduced to the most amazing, fashion-forward footwear collection we've seen in a while. Welcome to the world of Baldinini Shoes, where innovative design, elegant details, luxury materials and craftsmanship, and overall badass style merge. Baldinini Shoes has so many gorgeous styles to drool over that it was quite difficult to select the first one to highlight, so we basically closed our eyes and randomly picked the Baldinini Shoes Heeled Loafers.

The stylish, menswear-inspired heels feature a patent crocodile printed calfskin upper (also available in suede), side elastic gussets, and a 4" black column heel with rubberized leather effect and 1" rubber island platform. This exquisite heeled loafer is available in five color options, including blue patent croc, black patent croc, grey patent croc, blue suede, and black suede. All five colors are available now for €430 or $456.11 each on www.baldinini-shop.com. You may even find that they are currently on sale.

We're can't help but find ourselves falling head over heels in love with.......flats!! Go figure, but when we're presented with chic styles, whimsical details and luxe fabrications, how can you fault us? It was yet another case of love at first sight when we were first introduced to these Blue Bird Monkey Loafers. These elegant, handmade Brazilian loafers combine the classic with the cool. This pair of "See no evil, speak no evil" boast a velvet upper embroidered with the whimsical monkeys, leather covered and insoles, and a very comfortable 1/2" leather heel.

The beauty of Blue Bird Shoes is that each loafer has its own story that is conveyed with its design. The result is a beautiful range of sophisticated footwear styles, that are modern and timeless. Where can you find these adorably chic loafers? You can find these and many more styles at CHROMA NYC, a new pop-up and online concept shop which brings the best of Brazilian fashion and accessories to NYC (the shop is located at 120 Thompson Street) as well as its online shop. The pop-up shop is open from April 8th to May 1st, from 10 am to 7 pm daily. For those of you who may want loafers that are a bit more glam than monkey, you'll love these fab styles.


All the loafers reatil for $145.00 each and are available on www.chromanyc.com. Happy Shopping.

One of our favorite colors for footwear is rose gold. The complimentary color looks good on everyone and we find the color adds to the coolness factor of a shoe. Our style sense and wallet are both drooling over these Wanted Babe Lace-Up Oxfords. These lace-up Oxfords boasts wing-tip and brogue details, round toe, scalloped edge, and a sensible 3/4" block heel, making the Babe perfect for those who love the tailored style and menswear-inspired fashion.

While we adore the rose gold, the Babe is available in a variety of colors including silver, gold, black, and eleven other color options. Get your favorite color (s) for only $49.00 on www.macys.com. Bonus note: Macy's currently has 30% OFF 2 OR MORE pairs of shoes sale going on right now when you use the code GREAT, so extra savings for you.

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? Grab a pair for $249.99 on www.heels.com.

We've been on a menswear-inspired kick during this cold harsh winter season, and we're going to continue this trend into spring, thanks to the easiness and chic effect of the overall look. Our latest menswear-inspired footwear obsession is the BED STU Chasm Loafers. The classic slip-on style boasts a hand-finished, distressed leather upper, strap detail with antique brass buckles on the vamp, a modern update thanks to its pointed toe, and a 3/4" block heel. It's easy to slip into style and step out when you're rocking in these stunning tan-colored flats. Are you loving the menswear-inspired trend? Get yourself a pair for $165.00 on www.bedstu.com.

Today we highlight another menswear-inspired women's style. This nautically inspired Sperry Top-Sider McKenna Platform Heel features a leather upper, an almond toe, a leather lace detail and oversized Kiltie tassel at the vamp, Wave-Siping™ for wet/dry traction and a 4 1/2" stacked heel with 1" platform. This slip-on platform works with just about everything from your wardrobe and is great to take you from fall to spring. Grab them HERE for under $100.00.

I've decided to feature another menswear-inspired heel but one with a bit more edge and toughness. I think the above Burberry Leather Platform Pumps definitely fit that description. Featuring a smooth, two-tone leather upper, tonal stitching, wing-tip toe, these 5" with a 1" platform pumps boasts a rubberized heel and toe trims that make this beauty a touch more all-terrain. The result is a great combination of masculinity and feminine grace.

With all the menswear -inspired silhouettes we're seeing for fall, I figure why not showcase what you'll be wearing on your feet ladies. We know Calvin Klein for classic styles and shapes and with the aforementioned trend, these Calvin Klein Briah Pumps, you get their standard level of a chic, classic silhouette. Featuring an hassle-free slip on design, tonal stitching details, a stacked 5" with 1" platform heel, these leather pumps will take you from the office to after work activities seamlessly. You can't go wrong with this pump which oozes modern sophistication and classic sensibility.
