Wardrobe Essentials: The Black Shoe

At one point in my life I told my I never wanted to wear black. She always suggested that color to be because she said it was the most slimming and flattering. I always took that as an insult to my weight and so in defiance of my mother's guidance, I wore color. In hindsight, maybe I shouldn't have worn so much color, but luckily her advice is still in the front of my mind and it's now my go to color. I'm surprised my entire wardrobe isn't entirely black. When it comes to accessories, I love to have staples. Black bags, black shoes, black nail polish. It is always timeless and sophisticated and far from simple. From booties to stilettos and sandals. Here is what's on my wish list.

So my last post was a little bit of a tease, since I announced I would be back, but never posted after that.  At work I was tasted to pick a VERAMEAT for our new physical mailer at Fab, a type of "best-of" catalogue.

I decided to make a powerpoint presentation for my boss of my top 3 picks that I think were the trendiest of Vera's newest collection.

The presentation reminded me of my love for finding trends and blogging. So, I've decided to go back to what I love most. Finding the trends that are out there today.

We all know that the pump is back. Last season Miu Miu unleashed those red checkered pointy mulles while Louis Vuitton gave us the metallic pointed pump that trickled down into the stores of Stuart Weitzman, Jeffrey Campbell, and ASOS just to name a few. Well, the pump is here for another spring. And it's hotter than ever.

The pointy pump is still back  but in NYC most popular shades - black and white.
