Who said Crocs have to be ugly??

Posted on March 19, 2010 by Ana Cortez

The mere utterance of the word “Crocs” often conjures looks of disgust from fashionistas everywhere with such looks often being retaliated with the justification that they are comfortable. To many women the words “stylish” and “comfortable” simply cannot co-exist. Maybe these women haven’t seen Crocs new additions to their product line.

Crocs Beige Snake Crema Shoes

Crocs with a heel? Who would’ve known! And they’re not ugly either! This 3.5 inch neutral colored shoe has a beige snake skin with genuine leather lining. The shoe also has an adjustable strap and a shock absorbent footbed for maximum comfort. These shoes look best with dark skinny jeans paired with a plaid shirt, a look that has been popularized by The City’s Lauren Conrad. To emulate this style, I’ve chosen 80s Purple’s Acrylick Flannel Shirt, along with Uniqlo’s 3D Fit Tapered Skinny Jeans. To complete the look I’ve added Esprit’s Cross-body leather bag and Esprit’s Jive Silver Watch to give the outfit a bit of pop. Great outfit choice for casual dates or hanging out with friends at a local coffee shop.

Here are a few other Crocs styles that I recommend:

Crocs Black / Black Lydia Winter Shoes

Great for the office!

Crocs Black / Black Mccall Winter Shoes

Great substitute for your basic ballet flat, you can wear the shoes during the spring or winter and can be worn with a variety of outfits.

Are You Cool Enough for Pony Shoes?

Posted on January 17, 2010 by Ana Cortez

For casual days hanging out with friends or running errands, Pony’s casual streetwear shoes are a worthy addition to your shoe wardrobe. Pony comes in a variety of hi-cut and low-cut styles in a rainbow of colours. For men, whose styles tends to sway more on the conservative side, they may want to look at Feed the Cat Wingtip in black and white. The shoes’ monotone colours make it extremely versatile. The shoe is lined with patent leather stitching with mesh holes on the toe to help your feet breathe. The logo is also inconspicuously plastered on the shoe’s heel which allows the wearer to display the shoe’s logo without being overly obnoxious. Whether the shoes are worn with dark coloured jeans or sweatpants the shoes are undoubtedly highly noticeable.

If you are more style adventurous Pony presents to you the Neff Signature in red, gray and black. The shoe also comes in gray, white and red. Adorned with upper leather and colourful suede the shoe is sure to make a bold style statement when worn out in the streets. Although less versatile than the Feed the Cat, a recommended wardrobe choice when wearing these shoes is dark denim jeans, to contrast the brightness of the shoes, along with a navy blue pull-up sweater and a newsboy cap.

Big Buddha Handbags Are Big This Holiday Season

Posted on December 10, 2009 by Nicole Smith

Big Buddha’s Rose bag is the talk of the town this hoilday season and certainly a top seller. Gossip girl Blake Lively adds instant style to her outfit with a Ruche blossom tote – the perfect companion for strutting around the city – day or night. One thing I really like about this bag is that it’s big! This roomy bag has space for all your essentials. With large double handles and a lightweight body when carrying the Rose bags you won’t have to compromise style for comfort and function.

Make a statement this season with the ultra-stylish studded Soho bag. Hip and trendy like its namesake – the Soho combines glam rock with boho –chic, mixing sexy gold studs and layered fringe tiers in a simple hobo silhouette. Even celebrity hotties like Halle Berry know that you can’t leave home without this great look.
