Footwear Fanatic

"I firmly believe that with the right footwear one can rule the world." - Bette Midler

Shoes can make or break an outfit and they are the finishing touch to complete an outfit. It is important to wear the right kind of shoes and feel confident in them. There are many different types of shoes; flats, heels, boots, the list goes on and on. Below are some of my favorite shoes that I have.

This is not a normal type of shoe. Some of you may have never seen it before. It is called a wedge sneaker. I think it is very different and fun. I got this pair from Kohl's, but they can be found at most shoe stores. I like to wear it with jean shorts in the summer and leggings in the fall and winter. Wearing this shoe makes an outfit more fun and adds uniqueness.

These boots are one of my all time favorite shoes I own. It is called a combat boot. I got them at Baker's, but it also can be found at many department stores and other shoe stores. I love these combat boots. They go great with leggings and an over-sized sweater and scarf in the winter. These are my go to boots in the fall and winter at all times. They are dressy, yet casual and it completes an outfit.

These shoes are called an ankle boot or bootie. I always wear these boots in the fall and winter with black jeans and a sweater. I love the accent bow on the side because it gives it a touch of personality. I got these ankle boots at Dillard's.

These heels are a fun and flirty heel. It is black with a textured heel. It is similar to cork, but a little different. It is a cute heel to wear in the spring or summer with a short, summer dress. I got these heels at ALDO.

These shoes are called a wedge. Pair these wedges with a short summer dress and you have the perfect outfit. I actually wear them with a coral high-low dress and a teal chunky necklace. If you have trouble walking in heels, the wedge shoe is made for you. A wedge shoe is much more easier to walk in and actually quite comfortable. I would recommend having a pair of these in your closet for spring and summer.

Cute And Comfortable

Victoria's Secret PINK is a great place to get cute and comfortable clothes. You can look cute without actually having to wear uncomfortable clothes. The style there is more of an athletic look. My favorite thing to wear from there is yoga pants and a tank top or a sweatshirt. They have a varitey of different clothes and even though the store is called PINK, most of their clothing is not pink.

PINK is very popular among high school and college women. It is one of my favorite stores to shop at. I wear their clothes almost everyday. It is easy to throw on yoga pants and a sweatshirt for class. Below are some of my favorite pieces of clothing from Victoria's Secret PINK. The shirt and tank top are easy to throw on during the hot summer days. Pair the top with the yoga shorts that are featured in the third picture. The yoga pants are shown in the fourth photo and they are perfect to wear in the winter with the PINK sweatshirts, like the ones in the fifth and sixth picture.

Fashion Tips

Sometimes men and women need a little help with fashion. There is nothing wrong with that, but I would like to help them understand style and fashion better. This blog is for men and women. I know there are some men out there that would like to know a little bit more about fashion and I don't want this entire blog to be just focused on women. Men need a little care too.

Hopefully you will consider some of these tips! I know I will! I want people to feel comfortable in what they are wearing and with their style. People need to be confident because you always look your best when you feel confident. Don't be afraid to show off your unique style. Everyone is different and your style should be too.

The Trends Of Summer 2014

There are many fun trends that you can wear for the summer of 2014. This summer the trends are more expressive and unique. I like that a lot because I believe that your style should show off your personality. Mixing up your wardrobe adds excitement and fun to your life. Don't be afraid to wear something that nobody else likes; wear it because you like it and proudly show it off. Be confident in what you're wearing.

I have added a YouTube video that discusses the Spring and Summer 2014 fashion trends. It is very helpful because it talks about the latest trends and it has examples in the video of different pieces of clothing.

I have also added some pictures of my personal clothing that really captures the styles and fashion trends of summer 2014. The first picture is a high-waisted short with a crop top. Both of these styles are in this year. My high-waisted shorts have a destroyed or distressed wash to them and the crop top is black. I got the shorts at Forever 21 and the crop top at Charlotte Russe. The second picture is of a floral top. In the YouTube video she discussed how floral tops are in and trending for summer 2014. I got this top from Forever 21. The third picture is a black and white dress. The video talked about how the colors black and white are in, so I decided that my dress would be the perfect fit for the trend of the summer. I got this black and white dress at Victoria's Secret PINK. The fourth picture is a romper. Rompers are a fashion statement and they are cute and comfortable to wear. I got my romper at Charlotte Russe.

The Perfect Accessory

Have a plain top that is boring? If the answer is yes, then throw on a scarf! I absolutely love scarves. They are a great accessory to dress up an outfit and really make it cute. You can wear scarves any time of the year. I wear them all the time and I even wear them in the summer. There are many different colors, prints, and styles of scarves. Infinity scarves are my favorite to wear. Infinity scarves have no beginning or end. They form a circle around your neck and represented in the last three pictures. There is also a rectangular scarf. That is represented in the first picture. There are many different ways to tie this type of scarf. The YouTube video below will show you how to tie a rectangular scarf.
