It was love at first sight when we first saw these gorgeous sandals. Everything about this beautiful single sole style caught our attention, the colors, the lovely prints and textures, and of course the oh-so-perfect heel height (comfortable, yet stylish). Feast your eyes on the
Aerosoles Laminate Dress Sandals, a chic and sexy minimalist dress sandal that features a single strap across the front, a skinny ankle strap with a simple gold buckle closure, 3" covered heel with Aerosoles comfort technology, Diamond Flex soles to disperse friction away from the foot, and Memory Foam Insole.

blue/green tropical print, cork, nude leather, black leather, black sparkle, wine velvet, black velvet, silver metallic, pink metallic, black/tan python, and red suede. Get your favorite color or colors for $89.00 on

We love getting local access to international designers (some of those international shipping fees can be brutal) and when we heard we would have to chance to see, touch and play with fashion and accessories from Brazilian fashion brands, we had to check it out. We recently highlighted the adorably chic
Blue Bird Monkey Loafers as a Shoe of the Day, a very sophisticated Brazilian-based footwear brand. You may also remember we mentioned you can purchase the adorable loafers at the
Chroma NYC Pop-up shop. We're happy to say the NYC-based pop-up is now officially open and we stopped by for a visit.
From now until May 1st, 2016, Chroma NYC will be the new retail destination for emerging Brazilian fashion brands. The pop-up and online concept shop was founded by native Brazilian Fernanda Ferraz as a way to introduce NYC fashionistas to Brazilian fashion and style.
Featured designers in the pop-up shop include
Blue Bird, a Brazilian shoe brand featuring colorful and engaging embroidered loafers and slippers;
Kika Simonsen, a Brazilian artist who has transported lively patterns and colors in her artwork from canvas to printed fabric; and
Maria Dolores, a Brazilian artist creating unique and playful jewelry.
Chroma NYC is located at 120 Thompson Street off Prince Street. It is open from 10 am to 7 pm daily until May 1st.
Are you ready for an advanced sneak peak into some fabulous shoes? One of our favorite, and most coveted designer labels gave us a sneak peek into their Spring 2016 Collection. Normally we don't like to share these things so far ahead but we're just too excited about the collection. Of course we can't show you the women's shoe styles, but we promise you will love what you see today. So we ask again, are you ready for a sneak peak into the fabulous
Nanette Lepore Spring 2016 Footwear Collection? We know you are, so here they go:
The new, affordable luxury footwear collection, which made its debuted at FFANY in June, and boasts elements and details from Nanette Lepore’s whimsical, trendy design aesthetic, including leathers, synthetics and other fabrications. Styles from the collection features such details as embroidery, floral prints, eyelets, beading, braiding, etc and an adorable charm featuring the Nanette Lepore logo.
This incredible venture all came into play when the New York-based designer, sold a majority of her brand to brand management firm,
Bluestar Alliance LLC, in January, inking the deal and opportunity to create stunning women's footwear under the Nanette Lepore and Nanette Nanette Lepore labels with
Vida Shoes International. The stunning footwear collection will begin hitting store in February 2016.
