These mens shoes by Alejandro Ingelmo are awesome! ‘Tron’ is a mens mid-top sneaker that has a great look. I’m loving the black on black version. Also check out his womens line which is pure class.

Time to do some spring cleaning and put away all those round toed platforms you have in your closet.  This spring calls for bright colored pointy toed stilettos!  I’m kind of feeling this trend right now and it’s probably because I’ve been wearing platforms for so long now.  You are sure to find a pair in any shoe store you walk into.

Zara always has an amazing collection of shoes and the best thing is they are always budget friendly.  I stumbled upon a pair of bright fuchsia peep toes while in their store the other day.  These shoes are incredibly comfy and look gorgeous on.  They are the perfect pair to offset any outfit you might have for springtime and the best news is that they are only $49!

Last night a friend asked me where he could get some cool sneakers that wouldn’t break the bank but also weren’t your average kicks found at typical mall sneaker stores. The first place that sprung to mind was Flight Club’s under $75 section.

Flight Club is primarily known as a sneaker consignment shop that caters to die hard sneaker heads but they also carry other items such as G-Shock watches, sunglasses and snap-back hats. This store carries a ton of rare, hard to find and deadstock sneaker styles where the prices can go sky high. Although they carry some very expensive sneakers, the key to finding a great deal here is to take a spin thru their Under $100 and Under $75 sections. Their selection changes frequently as new items are always being added so it’s best to check back often.

Fashionista Rachel Zoe is entering her second season of shoe designing and it definitely does not disappoint!  I am absolutely loving her spring line and can’t wait to get my hands on a pair, especially the wedges!

This season is all about rawking fierce clothing.  Whether it be leopard print, snakeskin, or animal styles jewelry, you will for sure get noticed.  I am one that needs some personal help on this.  I am stuck in my ways and am a stickler for solid colors, however I am forcing myself to break this nasty little habit.  I have recently forced myself by purchasing a pair of leopard heels and am super stoked about wearing them.  So this season I challenge you to step out of your comfort zone a bit and wear something that does NOT scream you and see if you are successful at rawking it.

Roar!

Ok, so it’s not cross colours, but I bet that brought you way back.  Bright bold colors are back with a vengeance and you will be seeing huge bursts of color popping up everywhere.  Just remember though, although bright colors are in, do not make the same mistakes as the 80′s did.  Keep it minimal, use bright colors to make an outfit pop.  Be careful not to make yourself look like rainbow brite.  Bold colors are best used as an accessory.  Try a bright colored dress with nude pumps.  Or a black outfit with a bright scarf or perhaps a neutral outfit with a coral bag.  If you keep it minimal, I guarantee you it will look amazing!
