Sexy doesn't have to be flesh-baring, at least not when the weather hasn't been very kind lately.  I actually like the subtle sexiness that comes with flesh-peekaboo, aka perforations.  If air is to NIKE, perforations are to fashion! They just make it that much better!  Cut-outs and perforations are making a comeback this spring, and they are definitely one of my favorite trends, as seen on the runway at Spring 2014 Rebecca Taylor, The Row, and Reed Krakoff. Let your skin soak-up some air in the spring time when the sun is out to play! I'll let my imagination do that for now, while I'm piled under layers.

Kick-start 2014 with slithering snakeskin boots

It's officially 2014 and I am super excited to wet your new year's  appetite with some gorgeous boots that will keep your inner fireworks flying for the rest of this winter.  I recently had a heart-ful conversation with a dear friend about life, hopes, and dreams; we are the type of dreamers who dream big but live small.  We are filled with a sense of wonder and when it comes to shoes, we share that love too. So, this post is dedicated to her, and I thought a post about gorgeous boots is a great way to kick-start 2014 with high-flying style.


1. GIVENCHY - one of my favorite luxury brands.  When I have my eyes on  new things, including shoes, I'm usually fixed on a certain detail that pops like the cool printed green and silver pattern and slightly curvy heels.

Red Hot Shoes

The hottest shoes that celebs are sporting these days, whether casual flats or pumps, are red.  Are you brave enough to sport bright red shoes? I have never tried, but I would in a heart beat  if I had a killer pair. I selected these from hundreds of Fall'12 shoes from various high-end designers. I personal would want my shoe closet filled with these 20 pairs! Oh--and the color red...it has so many meanings. When I see a pair of red shoes I think of energy, intensity, and excitement! According to .....

 Bill Blass-- "When in doubt wear red." 

 Bill Blass--"Red is the ultimate cure for sadness."


Yes, yes, these shoes would definitely cure the fleating sadness in shoe-lovers around the world. Do you concur?
