I love odd looking, unique shoes. Yes, I have shoes that are just like any ordinary shoe but I also love shoes that look different. The type of shoe that everyone will look at and either go, “Wow, those are weird”, or “Wow, those are really cool looking”. Either way, it’s a mission accomplished in my eyes if someone ever takes notice of your shoes.

The Proenza Schouler “Basket Weave” Open Toe Pumps, are gorgeous! I absolutely adore them, which is shocked because I usually don’t like any shoes that have to be tied. Knowing my luck, I’ll always have to keep tying them, but these shoes are worth the annoyance.

I love the whole “Basket Weave” look. It gives the shoe a unique look but at the same time keeps it very high fashion. These shoes would look grand with a pencil skirt or slacks because they give off that professional look. If you have an office type job these shoes would look amazing with any professional attire. Consider it sprucing up your look in a more fashionable way.

You can purchase the Proenza Schouler “Basket Weave” Open Toe Pumps at Shop Bop for $895.

When I first saw the Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony “Mary Jo” Platform Booties, I instantly thought of Lady Gaga. Either she knows Chloe Sevigny, Sevigny was inspired by her or this is just her type of shoe style that she likes to design. I think we all can agree though, that if Lady Gaga saw these she would snatch them up in a heart beat. They definitely look like something I’ve seen her in before with all that height and platform!

I will admit, these shoes are cool to look at and maybe fun to wear sometimes. Like with a pair of leggings or skinny jeans. If I were to purchase these though, I know I wouldn’t wear them much. I’m sure they would hurt after a while, and they just have that funky look to them. I would have to be in a daring fashion mood to be able to sport around in these. Weird looking shoe, but I do think they would add some fun to any avid shoe collector!

You can purchase the “Mary Jo” Platforms at Shop Bop for $495.

I love heels, wedges and platforms. I love them so much that they have made me officially hate sneakers. After all, I’m short so why would I love anything that doesn’t give me any height?

What I like about the Steve by Steve Madden “Wyllow” Bootie is that is looks like a sneaker but it’s really not. I love the wedge, and the face you can lace it up. I’m not digging the peep toe, but I suppose you need the peep toe so one would know it’s not a sneaker with some height. Admit it though, if you love heels sneakers with some height would be kind of fun or at least stylish.

I would wear these with shorts, being that their wedges they would look perfect with them. I personally hate wearing shorts without a heel but I prefer wedges. Wedges are more comfortable and in my opinion compliment shorts much better too. They are definitely a cute pair of shoes to have in addition with some gorgeous heels.

The Steven by Steve Madden “Wyllow” can be purchased at Nordstrom for $138.95.

We maybe in Winter at the moment but it’s never too late to start thinking about Spring and Summer Fashion especially when it comes to swimsuits. I like in Florida so I see people from the coldest regions around the world come here on vacation for some warm weather.

If you love fashion, then you probably love swimsuits that are also on the stylish side. These type of swimsuits are usually costly but I consider them investment pieces. I for one hate going into the water so it’s like I’m dressing up to go to the beach in the most fashionable way possible.

I’m in love with the Thayer “Fringe” One Piece, which is actually kind of shocking. I’m not a huge fan of fringe but the fringe looks cute on this swimsuit. I could totally envision a fashionista wearing this one piece to the pool or beach with some fierce heels.

Some people laugh that fashion lovers wear heels with their swimsuits but as I always say shoes complete an outfit. You can never look in style unless you’re sporting a great pair of shoes!

You can purchase the Thayer “Fringe” One Piece at Shop Bop for $175.

In 2010, Carrera sunglasses seemed to be everywhere and it doesn’t look like they are going anywhere anytime soon. Every celebrity and fashionista had them on and they were even featured as a “product placement” in the Lady Gaga “Bad Romance” video.

They are pretty catchy looking and I would never think they were originally racing sunglasses if I hadn’t read about them. I’ve always wanted a pair and I still do till this day.

My current favorite Carrera sunglasses is the “Margot“. Since my whole wardrobe consists of mostly black and white these are perfect for me. I have a habit of making sure my clothes match from head to toe and these match my whole entire closet.

What I like about Carrera sunglasses is that I consider them a statement accessory. So many designers make sunglasses that look like every other brand out there. Carrera’s have a special look to them that make you notice them. They’re definitely sharp looking so it’s no wonder racers want to wear them!

You can purchase the Carrera “Margot” Sunglasses at Shop Bop for $140.

Herve Leger is one of the most hottest clothing designers out there. His dresses are always seen on celebrities and are a must have to fashionista’s world wide. The dresses are a bit on the expensive side but no one can deny the beauty of them that’s for sure!

My current favorite Herve Ledger dress is the “Strapless Dress with Fringe Detail.”The dress is drop dead gorgeous and is definitely a dress I would wear to an event or special occasion. Get the right pair of gorgeous black or beige shoes and you have one smoking outfit!

The fringe detail instantly catches your eye and gives it that statement look. I normally think fringe dresses are a bit much sometimes. The fringe is usually featured all over the dress but this is tastefully done. It’s obvious that a little bit of fringe can make a dress look classy and stylish all at the same time.

Definitely a beautiful dress that just maybe worth every penny!

You can purchase the Herve Leger “Strapless Dress with Fringe Detail” at Shop Bop for $1,680.

One of my all time favorite movies is the “Wizard of Oz.” If you love fashion, I think the thing that sticks out the most in that movie is Dorothy’s gorgeous red heels. You can’t help but notice them! She was wearing a not so cute outfit then she styles it up with some fierce looking heels that take her all the way back home!

They maybe a peep-toe but the Enzo Angiolini “Sully” Platform Pumps look like a modern day version of Dorthy’s infamous shoes. Now let’s pair them up with a fitted version of her dress and we may have one sexy Dorthy on our hands.

It makes you wonder if the brand got their inspiration from the over popular movie? Beats me, but I’m loving these shoes. These are what I call statement shoes, because you can’t help but look at them when you see them on someone. No matter what outfit you style these babies up with they are going to pop out at you. They definitely get an A+ in my book, and I think Dorthy would agree too!

You can purchase the Enzo Angiolini “Sully” Platform Pumps at Nordstrom for $88.95.

I love heels, to the point that someone could declare me obsessed. I’ve been wearing heels since I was about 13. Now I’m 25, and I still rock them almost everyday. I do love wedges though, especially gorgeous ones! Wedges never hurt my feet and still give me the height I want. I’ll admit after five hours in heels my feet are killing me, but I can literally wear wedges all day and never get an ounce of pain.

When my eyes found the Tory Burch “Sophie” Wedge they were smitten. I currently love Tory Burch, but these wedges were classic and gorgeous! They’re simple but yet they still catch your eye. Perhaps it’s the patent leather or the signature logo all in all it’s a beautiful shoe.

What I love most about these beauties is that you can wear them with anything. I wear wedges with skinny jeans, dresses, skirts, leggings, literally anything! Wedges are very versatile and being that these are black you have even more options! Definitely a great shoe to have in a collection.

You can purchase the Tory Burch “Sophie” Wedge at Nordstrom for $295.
