Who Says We Can't Wear Boots In The Summer?

With the Ksubi Black Dusty Open Boot, I say we CAN wear boots all through out the summer! I live for super feminine summer ensembles paired with a beat up black boot. These Ksubi's are breathable, check. Sick sick sick looking, check. Would look unreal with cut off shorts, check. Would funk up any little sundress, check. I mean, what is not to love about this boot? Ok, well the price... but for $389, I find these completely worth it and I will wear the daylights out of them! Also, can you imagine how completely rad a colored knee high would look peeking through these little babies? Duh! Adore! I personally love all my short boots and it's always so hard for me to switch completely over to my flats during the summer months. I don't always like looking too girly and miss my boots desperately when trying to achieve an edgier ensemble. These boots have completely solved my problem. They're like a breathable gladiator sandal boot! Haha! I live for it! Ah, what a great find! Hope you're all well. Sadly, I have a terrible cold from work. Boooo. I am off to go rest up some more. I think ordering these boots would make me feel all better. ;)

Jewls Top 20 Oxford Shoe Picks For Spring/Summer

This deliciously juvenile "Sunday School Saddle Shoe" trend is not going anywhere this season. Oxford shoes are no longer exclusively for private school girls. Lucky for all of us ladies, I have combed through all of my favorite websites to find us the cutest saddle shoes in every color, cut and price! I am in desperate need for like five new pairs! Now that I have found literally twenty pairs that I could seriously buy right this second, I am going to have the most impossible time choosing which ones to actually get! Eek! Help me decide! Hope you're all well loves!

Item of the Day: Chloe Cross Strap Ballet Flats

Well now that spring EVERYTHING is popping up on all our favorite sites, I couldn't help but scream outloud when I saw these Chloe flats the other day on Barneys.com. I instantly texted my sister and said, "Pointe shoe ballet flats on Barneys. NEED now." Yes, I never thought I would actually be wanting to wear pointe shoes as real shoes, as I have boxes and boxes full of dead and beat up ones from my ballerina years in my closet... Oh and did I mention they are horribly excruciating after dancing on your toes for hours on end? Well, these ARE different... kind of. Hahahaha. No, they are stunning and I need them on my feet now. How sweet would they look with a little sundress or a cute tee and shorts? So different from the typical Lanvin or Repetto ballet flat. Ahhh well, I guess my wish list for the upcoming season has officially begun. XO, Liza

Shoe Designer Spotlight: Rachel Antonoff X Bass

Ahhh! Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful New Years Eve... mine was great. I stayed in with Angel and my cat, ate good food, drank a ton of champagne, and passed out super early. Hahahaha! I am a nerd, but that is definitely my idea of a perfect night. Aaaanyways, what better then to start the new year off with a brand new shoe collaboration by one of my fave designers, Rachel Antonoff. Teaming up with Bass, the loafer and oxford experts, Rachel designed a whole line of shoes that honestly will make your heart melt. I am coveting at LEAST five of the pairs, as well as that white dress Tennessee Thomas is wearing in the first picture. I actually am loving wearing my furs and heavy coats this winter, but can it PLEASE be spring now so I can slip these babies on everyday? XO, Liza

I know, I know.... these are insanely cute. The kitten isn't too bad either. ;)

 Ah! The little bows kill me!

 Absolutely darling.

SO many choices!

Item of the Day: Osborn Shoes

So how chic and refreshing are these little babies? Aaron Osborn launched his shoe line in 2009 out of Guatemala after meeting an out of work cobbler while doing charitable work there. He was inspired and decided to make a collection of handcrafted shoes outside of the city in the volcanic mountains (sounds awesome... I want to go work there?!?!) The company consists of 20 shoe makers and each pair of shoes are signed by whoever made them. That makes for a pretty personal shoe! I live for it! These shoes are beyond adorable and the patterns are endlessly darling. Check out my top picks below and to see more go to OsbornDesign. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Black Velvet Booties

I love the little polka dots on these.

Electric Blue Wool Booties

I can't pick a favorite! I need them all!

Velvet Jazzies. So sweet. I love these.

Item of the Day: Balenciaga Ankle Wedges

I was in the Barney's shoe department about a week ago with my mom and when I spotted these insane Balenciaga ankle wedges, let me tell you.... I could NOT stop thinking about them alllll day. They look amazing in the picture, so you can only imagine what it's like to hold them. Hahahaha I sound like a shoe psycho, but really... these shoes are unreal. Not only do I love the wooden wedge, but the little buckle on the ankle? To die for. Before I checked the bottom of the shoe for the price, I must say I was scared... they had to be at LEAST $1200. Well, they are $995. Expensive, but not over the top like a pair of Alaias or Givenchys. So I was somewhat relieved. Ha! I do have a very hard time saving my money though, as the minute I see something I like, I buy it. On the other hand, these booties are really worth saving up every single penny. XO, Liza

Dolce and Gabbana Wedges

Ok so I saw Jane Aldridge (Seaofshoes.com) wearing these on her blog and I totally repressed them a while back because I was so in love... How ah-mazing? Some people may think they are weird and creepy, but I think they are SO cute! Ugh! Want NOW! XO, Liza

Top Picks from Spring/Summer 2010 Shoes

I felt like we were overdue for a nice big shoe post. Since the shoes for S/S 10' were out of control I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E, I wanted to make a little collection of my favorites. Ah, what I wouldn't give to have all of these perfectly organized in beautiful boxes in my closet right now. What would it take? I'm off to Nashville tomorrow for the weekend to see my Daddy and all of my closest girlfriends. I am very excited to get out of LA for a minute and enjoy the sound of some southern crickets and humidity!! ;)

Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte. The brown pumps on the left are my absolute favorite from this entire season. Ohhhhhh it hurts me.

Alexander McQueen. The pumps on the bottom left are so amazing.

Jil Sander. Raf Simons hit a home run with these. The steel heel is gorgeous and so innovative.

Gareth Pugh. I especially adore the boots on the left. They are kind of gothic, but the satin ribbon detail make them a little girlish. Love them.

Jean Paul Gaultier. John jokes that I will never go hiking with him and I always excuse it with, "Well, I don't own hiking boots?!!" Maybe these would work. Hahahaha. Seriously though... these are incredible. The lacing on these bad boys are stunning.

Junya Watanabe. I'll take both please. Classic and timeless.

Proenza Schouler. Jessica Alba was wearing a pair at the Valentines Day movie premiere and they really are unbelievable in person... and she was too for that matter! Both were stunningly gorgeous!

Rick Owens. He never fails.

Valentino created by hat designer, Philip Treacy. These are works of art. A moment of silence please.

Yohji Yamamoto. Witchy and kind of cowboyish/spurs at the same time. I'm into it.
