Summer Shoes That Will Work for Fall

Kori Ellis — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 04:57:08 +0000

Before you know it, the weather will start cooling down and with the change of season, we’ll start shopping for fall shoes. Out with the sandals and in with the boots!

In tough economic times, it’s silly to expect everyone to re-vamp their entire wardrobe every season. It’s just far too costly for most of us. Fortunately, several of the hot shoe trends from summertime will carry over to next season. To extend your wardrobe, check out these summer shoes that will work for fall.

Peep-toe Pumps
For the office, peep-toe pumps are a big hit. When fall rolls around, you can still show off your toes. The weather isn’t freezing in the autumn, so showing off your pedicure in a pretty pair of peep-toe pumps is still appropriate.

Cuffed Sandals
You know all those trendy sandals that are out there with the thick ankle cuff? Though I’m not a big fan, many women love these shoes. Well, you don’t have to put them away at the end of summer, cuff sandals will work well for fall. Wear them with your favorite fall dresses.

High Heel Gladiators
When the weather cools down, if you love your gladiators, you can still wear them. Instead of bare legs, wear gladiator sandals with a denim mini and tights for an edgy, hip look. Same thing holds true for studded sandals.

Anything Yellow
Did you stock up on yellow shoes this year? Yellow has definitely been the hottest color in fashion during 2009 and that will continue for fall. So don’t put away those yellow ballet flats…they are still a fabulous choice through the end of the year.

Of course, there are multitude of shoes that you can wear all year round, including open toe ankle boots, leopard print pumps, brightly colored evening sandals and kitten heeled mules. Whatever you wear, wear it with confidence!

J. Reneé Elvira Pump

Kori Ellis — Fri, 08 May 2009 08:42:48 +0000

For a shoe that’s a little unique, check out the J. Reneé ‘Elvira’ Pump. It’s not exactly a pump — more like an open-toe mule. These ruched satin shoes feature an abstract bow over the toe and an interesting silhouette.

These shoes come in four fabulous colors for spring and summer — pink, teal, bone and papaya (shown). You can order these shoes from Nordstrom for just $89.95. They would be a great complement to summer dresses or cropped pants.

If you don’t want to wear sandals all the time, but closed pumps aren’t appropriate, then the J. Reneé Elvira would definitely be a good choice.

Marciano Janique Flip Flops

Kori Ellis — Tue, 05 May 2009 03:10:49 +0000

When you head to the beach or pool this summer, leave your cheap rubber flip flops at home. No matter what you think, they were never fashionable. You should have known when you found them on the grocery store aisle somewhere between canned peas and sunscreen.

Instead, find a pair of thong sandals that are dressed up with jewels, crystals or other embellishments. These Marciano flip flops are a nice choice.

These thongs feature a purple printed footbed and clusters of jewels on the top of the translucent straps. You can get these Marciano Janique flip flops at Nordstrom for $59.95.

Slide sandals are perfect for the summer. You just slip them on and can wear them with everything from a t-shirt and shorts, to more formalwear. Here are some white slide sandals that I really adore.

Ferragamo Panga Buckled Slide

These white slides feature perforated straps and goldtone buckle detail. These sandals are perfect for a summer party. You can also get them in black, if you prefer. These Ferragamo sandals are available at Neiman Marcus for $440.

Athena Alexander Twirl Slide

For under $100, you can get this absolutely adorable Athena Alexander slide sandal, which features a beautiful flower atop the straps. This sandal also comes in pink, red and black, but I think it’s just perfect in white. Get it for $89.95 right now at Nordstrom.

Discount Deal of the Week: Matisse Sheila Slingback Wedge Sandal

Kori Ellis — Tue, 27 May 2008 21:41:49 +0000

These wedge sandals are a great deal at SmartBargains.com. The Matisse Sheila Slingback Wedge Sandal feature metallic trim and a cork like wedge heel. They come in white, black or silver.

I really like the thong style combined with the slingback. Most thong sandals are open in the back. These shoes are perfect to wear to a summer party or out on a date. Pair these wedge sandals with a colorful summer dress, capri pants or a cute mini-skirt. The best part about these sandals is the price. You can order them at Smart Bargains for just $39.99 (comparable at $110). I love the white ones, but if you are into metallics the silver option is a good choice.
