Tuesday Shoesday: picnic chic

I don't know about you, but springtime equals picnic time in our book. Now that the warm weather is upon us, we're just dying for any excuse to pack up some snacks & dine atop a blanket in the fresh air. These Miu Miu Slingback Pumps can't help but to make us dream of the most chic of picnics...

While there is NO WAY that a lady in her right mind would don these saucy stilettos for such an occasion {who wants to ruin Miu Miu heels in the grass?!} the pretty plaid brings back butterflies & sweet memories of warm weather picnics. Just in case you can't resist these heels, they're available at Neiman Marcus!

Happy Shoesday, everyone!

April showers

We've had some rainy days here in New England lately {hello April!} and it's caused us to yearn for bright & vibrant colors more than usual. Can summer be here already!?! In spite of the grey days, there is no reason to match our clothes with the dreary mood, right? So, to brighten things up, we figured that a round up of rainy day attire was necessary... and we're flat out loving these Jelly Reva Ballet Flats from Tory Burch to stop through puddles in!

Coral Carvan Slingbacks

Coral... it was hot last year and thankfully it's back again this year. We just love this oh-so-versatile hue that can transition from spring to summer and even wiggle into fall! While you can't abuse the color {coral must be done in moderation, right?} nothing beats a saucy pair of coral pumps. These Carvan Bow Slingbacks are just the epitome of fuzzy, suede perfection.

Not to mention the fact that our favorite fashionista from Atlantic Pacific rocked them with a colorful frock just the other day. How does she do it?! Girl has got style... and we have got shoe envy!

Have a lovely shoes day, ladies!

A Shoesday Save the Date

Today we're taking a break on crushing on shoes we want oh-so-badly, and rather wanted to share this adorable save the date idea. What an easy photo to work into your engagement shoot... and it's so stinkin' cute! We think this pic would be perfect on the front of one of a custom save the date postcard! ;)

And by the way, congrats to the couple in the photo who recently tied the knot!!!

Neon yellow shoesday picks

Happy Tuesday shoesday! We're still on the hunt for neon and in the midst of our love for neon yellow we ran across these adorable  Marni polka-dot leather ballet flats that we're kind of obsessed over. In our opinion, they have the perfect amount of pizzaz with the brown to keep things balanced and not too extreme... oh and the perfectly pointed, yet slightly rounded toe? Yes, that makes these even more beautiful in our eyes!

As if that's not enough, there are a plethora of adorable options of neon yellow + brown/ beige in all shapes, styles and heights! Which pair would be your pick?

Currently Obsessing: Repetto

If you haven't stumbled upon this gorgeous Paris-based shoe line, Repetto, it's time to catch up! We've absolutely fallen in love with these practical and perfect flats which come in every color imaginable {not to mention color-blocked ones, pretty patterns and bows} and thankfully they're sold at Saks and Bergdorf!

Pretty sure that our tootsies will be sporting a few pairs of these when the weather gets warmer! So excited!!

Happily ever after

Over the long weekend, something amazing happened. One of our dear friends found the wedding gown of her dreams... and can we just say that AMAZING doesn't even begin to describe how stunning she looks in this dress?! Yes, our blushing bride to be is beaming with joy and though the details of said gown are behind sealed lips, it's no secret that she'll be sporting TOMS on the big day. Now that the dress has been found, we're left with one more important question... will she wear white TOMS or rock that "something blue" on her feet?

{via}

The TOMS wedding line has plenty of options ranging from pale shades of grosgrain to glittery silver or blue... thankfully we're not the ones deciding because it might require a shoe change every hour just to fit all the pretty colors in. Either way, not only will the bride have some pretty awesome {and super comfortable} wedding shoes, but it's yet another reason to support the TOMS Movement. And that friends, is quite a way to start "happily ever after".

 

Happy Valentine's Day

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! Alas, the day is here and we're just beaming with love for so many things, you included. :) We hope that whether you love this day or hate it, whether you spend it with your significant other or with your dearest friends, whatever your day holds... you know that you are LOVED by many. In the event you weren't planning on it, you should probably celebrate tonight!! Even if you're celebrating your family, your friends, your strength and hope for the future... there is so much love to rejoice over and that's what today is for. So here's to you... and pretty Vivian Westwood heart shoes! *Photo courtesy of Style Unveiled

Pink peep toes

Did you realize that Valentine's Day is just one week from today?! Oh goodness, how the days are just sneaking up on us! In honor of the impending holiday, we had to share this gorgeous shot from Jessica Strickland Photography that highlights these saucy hot pink wedding shoes along with the bride and groom's wedding rings. The contrast of these vibrant, glitzy colors is just perfection.

If you're planning your wedding, will you be donning colored shoes under your gown?

Step it up, boys

To date, we've never done a Tuesday Shoesday post for mens shoes but today, that changes. While catching up on some of the latest fashion trends, we learned a shocking little secret brewing over in the U.K.. British boys are said to be sporting "wedge soles" to add 1.2 inches to their height. These wedges by J by Jasper Conran, now available at Debenhams are outselling the stores expectations by 85 percent, according to Fashion Etc. We're dying to know what you think- would you let your honey rock a pair of these?

Who wants to bet Ryan Seacrest has a pair of these?

My oh my

We've been talking a lot about Missoni inspired patterns in the Paper Moss office lately {our pattern obsession continues} and have been head over heels in love with the bright, vibrant colors in that classic chevron style. Yes, these ballet flats from Bloomingdales may just be the next wardrobe staple for spring 2012.

And if you're a bargain shopper, Target still has some of the Missoni for Target flats available too... on CLEARANCE!

Chloe + velvet bows

Our first Tuesday Shoesday of 2012 and oh goodness, do we have a pick to kick off the year! We're entirely convinced that these gorgeous Chloe heels are the perfect shoe. They also happen to embody one of the most versatile shoe trends that we've seen in Fall 2011/ Winter 2012 shoes- patent leather. Love!!

Simple & elegant... and that delicious velvet bow is just enough to leave us dreaming about them all day. Happy Shoesday, darlings!

Bare your Sole

As if fixating on our day - to - day shoe fashion choices is not overwhelming enough, picking the perfect wedding shoes can be quite a fete. Regardless if you go with traditional white or a saucy pair of bright heels, you can surely dress up the bottoms for yet another sweet little detail! I just love the adornment on the soles of this bride's wedding shoes... and her reception shoes!

Glittery + Golden

In honor of today, a personal day of celebration, I couldn't resist sharing some of the greatest party shoes that we've laid eyes on...

{via}

Absolutely breathtaking, right?! It only seems practical to sport these glittery gold shoes on one's Golden Birthday... if only I {Anna} were on the ball with hunting them down, today would be the day! Instead, I'll just dream of them, stuff my face with cake and bump these to the list of possible New Years shoes!

If you haven't had your Golden day yet, please, take note: FIND THESE!!!

Tuesday Shoesday

We have a special Fall flavored Tuesday Shoesday for you today. Alexander McQueen is never afraid to bring his insane fashion- ridden dreams to life and though we're not all too taken with his signature skull collection, these Gold Leaf T-bar stilettos are just amazing and perfectly fitting for the season!!
