Let's take a quick trip back in time and enjoy a little retro inspiration today. Say hello to the Dolce Vita Phantom Heel, shown in Bone Basto Lea, this statement shoe features nostalgic design elements, a light beige leather upper, metallic covered vamp and open-toe. The true star of this shoe of course is the standout 6" cut-out wooden heel with thick 2" platform. Evoke the style and vibe of grooviest years when you don this statuesque and dynamic heel.

As with everyone else, I was in awe of heelless shoes when they first arrived on the scene but I lost some of that love for the silhouette because of the ridiculously fast way it saturated the market. Yes for me, it lost a bit of what made it special. However, some brands are trying to add interesting embellishments and touches to spice up the unique silhouette.

Take for example, the above Privileged Moks Black Chain Dangling Heelless Bootie. The velvety, vegan suede heelless bootie features thin gold chains that fall in a waterfall of fringe around the back of the 6 3/4" wrapped phantom heel with 2" platform. Fringe is a hot trend this fall in footwear and while many shoes feature leather fringe, why not go against the grain and show off some metal fringe.
