Of all weeks in the year, we can't think of a more appropriate time than NOW to highlight a pair of Vivianne Westwood heels. This heart laden signature style of hers is just screaming, "HAPPY VALENTINES WEEK!!" Quite the statement piece, don't you think?

Yeah, we're being festive like that. Happy Shoesday!!
Since yesterday we highlighted a wedding gown designer who makes our jaws drop, it's only fitting to share a shoe designer on this Tuesday Shoesday, that has the same effect on us. Admittedly, we would NEVER wear these {can we even call them heels?!} but we're fully intrigued by the bold shape & sassy statement made by Giuseppe Zanotti.

And rest assured that even though they're not our style, we'll bare no judgement to those who love 'em!! :)
With so many bright and punchy colors trending lately {recap: neon last summer, jewel tones this winter and sherbets for the spring} it is imperative to have a versatile shoe to pair with all of the brightness! Emily & I can't get enough of our nude pumps {seriously, the best purchase ever} and when I saw this wedding on Wedding Chicks, featuring an adorable collection of nude peep toes, my heart leapt for joy! Truly.

And while I'm at it, can I just say how much we adore the sweetly elegant, slightly understated gowns in contrast with all of the funky colors accenting this wedding?! Check out the rest of their feature!

In all honesty, one of my least favorite parts about winter is the need to stick to practical shoes about 90% of the time. Let's be honest, winter in New England requires a very different wardrobe than it ever did growing up in the Pacific Northwest. Gahhh! So I bid farewell to the potential of rocking cute shoes such as these Kate Spade Karolina Bow pumps, but I wholeheartedly encourage those in less frigid temps to carpe diem and sport some sassy winter heels!

In the meantime, we'll just watch the snow fall... ;)
Since we're always on the lookout for a killer pair of flats, we are just ADORING this bare arch variation by Jenni Kayne. Her ready to wear collection for Spring 2013 is to die for and we absolutely have our eyes on these D'Orsay Flats as a wardrobe necessity once we bid winter farewell.
Not that we have anything against the ever classic ballet flat, but it's kind of refreshing to mix it up with these show stoppers! Agree or Disagree? Happy Shoesday!
Finding just the right shoes for your big day is not an easy task. Not only does a gal have to make sure they're comfortable, but obviously they must be the perfect color and just the right style too. Whenever you find those kicks, we LOVE the idea of adding this personal touch!

Yep, they look super cute on sling backs but could work on nearly any style. All you have to do is add some adhesive glitter letters and you're set for a little custom pop! It's all in the details!
About this time last year, I fell in love with Sorel. Not knowing where to begin for my winter boot search, I innocently stumbled upon the Joan of Arctic in a shop downtown and it's been nothing but love ever since. So this year, these are on the "must have" list...

In the winter months, we've really been trying to master the whole "getting cozy" thing. Knowing that it's inevitable that our tootsies will be cold all season, it's imperative to have some legit slippers and socks for the days spent inside. Needless to say, when we found out about the Sabrina Slipper Socks from Club Monaco, it was love at first site. With the yarn blend consisting of wool, angora and cashmere, they're destined to be heavenly.

What is your go-to winter warmer??
There is something so simple and elegant about this chic pairing. Bravo to photographer Sarah Culver for capturing these glittering wedding shoes in such a phenomenal light. We're majorly crushing on them for today's shoesday pick!!

If you've been following us for awhile, you might have seen how much we adored the trend of studded stilettos earlier this fall. Well, being more practical now that the chilly New England weather is upon us, we're digging on the more practical version: flats. We need shoes that will allow us to move a bit faster- into warm buildings. Truly, it's a little devastating when that time of year arrives. But alas, there are some adorable options out there for every budget!
And if you're on a SUPER budget, I Spy DIY has a super easy way to refresh & update an existing pair of flats. Check it out... and then proceed to get lost on that blog, because it's full of fun ideas!!!
Tory Burch is one designer that we just can't get enough of. In a perfect world, our fall wardrobe would include a pair of her Selma riding boots from last year's collection... but I suppose we'd manage to settle for the Amanda riding boots that are in stores now. Either way, these soft leather, logo laden boots are nothing short of perfection and are ideal for the chilly, autumn days in New England!

What are your ideal fall shoes?
A little partial, perhaps, but we think that some of the best things come out of France. Case and point: champagne, Coco Chanel, fluffy & delicious macarons, crepes... and now our latest obsession, Chatelles. These adorably sophisticated slippers come in bright shades of canvas, treated leather- either varnished, fish-scaled or suede. It gets better! They can be customized with a monogram {obvs our favorite option}, contrasting tassels or just kept simple & solid. The kicker however, would have to be the french poetry scripted on the inner footbeds. ADORABLE.

If you're digging these house slippers as much as we are, you'll probably adore the charming little romance tale behind the birth of the company. Perhaps these will wiggle their way to our Christmas wish-list?!?
Long long ago, back in middle school my favorite color was burgundy. I {Anna} wore it with pride... way too often and finally got to the point where I was repulsed to see it. Yes, I definitely over-loved that color and it quickly translated into repulsion. Luckily time heals, because well, QUITE a few years later it's back and trending for fall 2012! Though I'll probably be a little timid with how I display these tones and will likely be referring to it as bordeaux, brick, aborigine or dark plum... I'm psyched to have it back! What do you think about the trend???

I must admit that when I first laid eyes on these soft pink beauties, I was brought back to my visions of my wedding as a little girl. These surely would have been the dream shoes... and though being super girly isn't necessarily our thing, these might still be considered timeless. What do you think??

With all of the fuss from these voluminous tulle rosettes, we've got tulle on the mind and are so thankful that it has made a classy comeback. There are so many whimsical, romantic ideas for how to incorporate this sheer fabric into a wedding or reception... here's a wee bit of inspiration to get those wheels turning...

Today's Tuesday Shoesday is a modern spin on a classic color combo. With all of the bright & bold colors trending this fall, you can't go wrong with some printed black & white shoes to play up the pattern or add texture without being over-kill. What kicks are on your shopping list for this season?? Any black & white beauties?

After pounding the pavement in the Big Apple for the last couple of days, we're REALLY ready to embrace some comfy flats. These glittery kicks are not only the perfect way to add some spunk to a simple outfit, but they're only $20!! Insanity, I know!

Being in our late 20's, Delia*s isn't exactly the first place we'd think to shop, but in the name of Shoesday, we'll make an exception. Join us? :)
Sometimes a little sparkle goes a long way. When done right however, it can make quite the statement. While mocking up a glitter paper envelope liner just the other day, we recalled this shoe shot seen on Style Me Pretty. How phenominal are these Jimmy Choo's?!

The perfect balance of spunk & class... these would certainly be ideal dancin' shoes, don't you agree?
No matter where you get married, we think it's important to capture the personality of the city, as well as the personality of the couple. This photograph by Cory Parris is so perfectly fitting for the sleek Seattle wedding he shot. Hazy skyscrapers in the background contrast so beautifully with those deep blue peep toes... ah! We are in LOVE with this shoe shot!!

It's official: Fall is upon us!! Though initially skeptical of the loafer {slight variation of the penny loafer} we've grown to love this fall-friendly flat that has now fallen on the "must have" list for this season. I mean, how adorable is this look?!

Our hunt for the perfect pair is on... now to decide whether to go with solids or a fun print?? What do you think- are you a loafer lover yet?
There's something about vintage typewriters that taps in to our romantic side. Yes, even this tangerine beauty... and especially when paired with champagne Jimmy Choo wedding shoes!

See the whole quirky-yet-elegant wedding where these shoes were worn here. Thanks for letting us share your beautiful photo, Louisa Bailey!
