Shoes in the Nude

There are several super trendy and must-have looks in shoes for Spring. Don't worry, I will cover all the top-notchers! This week:: Nude Shoes.  

Invest in a nude shoe whether its a stiletto, wedge, pump or flat. Nudes go with virtually everything and can be easily transformed from day to night. Keep in mind nudes come in several hues, including shades with hints of pink or ivory, so pick one that compliments your complexion. Doing so can even elongate your legs. 

 Purchasing a nude patent pump would be considered a great investment in the fashion world! Being able to sport a shoe from January to December is definitely a perk, and by buying into a nude patent, you will be doing just that! This BCBG style is my pick for a multi-season splurge.

Jessica Simpson's Astor style is a stylish platform slingback that works great as a day-to-night transitional shoe. Her nude color has been named Cognac Patent and has a wonderfully warm hue to it.

I love the flirty frill of this RSVP style. A roughed up flower kisses the side of each heel for a high fashion statement. This nude has a hint of pink mixed in which is great if you have a blushy complexion.

The talk of the town is Jimmy Choo's 24:7 Collection. Featured here is JC's Private style which is perfectly patent and painted in a universal shade of nude.

If you're one to fashion flats, more specifically the gladiator trend, then J. Crew's Cyprus Vachetta sandal comes in a soft graphite nude for a trendy and versatile look.

Oceans of Blue

Turquoise is the season of the color. However, keep in mind the turquoise family also expands into the blues. The blue trend is leaking hues from bright cobalt's and southwestern turquoise's to indigo navy's and baby pastels. The different shades aren't shy so, mock the marbled blues you see in an oceans tints by mixing different hues to make bold blue statements.

BCBG did a great job incorporating a monochromatic mixture of blues with this Printed Draped Tank. The entire look reminds me of ocean waves with its gradient colors and movement in its fishtail hemline.

Stella & Dot's Cortez Turquoise & Suede Necklace is a great narration of statement! A radiant shade of turquoise from the tropical sea colors stones that dangle on an espresso waxed cord. The look is finished with wooden rings and a chocolate sueded tie closure.  

Dip your feet into cobalt blue with Steve Madden's 'Loyyall' platform pump. Use this shoe as the statement to your outfit and really make it pop by wearing it with a black cocktail dress so all the attention goes to your toes! Then, finish accessorizing with the same cobalt hue.

The dark ink navy paired with a croc-embossed design on this Gianni Bini Gretchen Satchel is contemporary and sophisticated. The deep indigo color makes this handbag versatile.

The softer, more muted side of blues are great to use as neutrals to pair with bolder blues! Forever21's Modern Slip Dress would look fabulous finished with ink navy shoes and handbag. Or, if there is a chill in the air, cover up with a dark navy cardigan. Keep in mind, just because the lace is black,  doesn't mean to accessorize with black. This is your chance to add depth of color and really play into the mismatching fun of the blue trend.
