Shoes 101

August 29, 2013 by robincharmagne 2 Comments

Hi Pretties,
Hey Thursday! I had to be reminded that Monday is Labor Day, totally slipped my mind. OKAY! So, last week I posted Handbags 101 and the cool bag on my wish list. Here’s another great infographic from Pinterest, which I think has been around the web for a while but it really does cover shoes from A to Z, take a peek.

My favorite shoe style is the wedge . It’s the perfect shoe for lovelies like me who are vertically challenged, giving us some height and great style. I have my eye on this beauty from Coach.

The heel on this shoe is the truth! The beautiful dark faux horn combined with a smooth suede, really make this wedge heel a standout. It can easily be worn for day or night. Now, it’s pricey at $248 but unique fabric and details make it well worth the money!

What shoe style works best for you?

Festivals and Fashion

June 3, 2013 by robincharmagne 10 Comments

Hello pretties,
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! It’s June pretty ones! Half the year is almost gone, yet the beginning of summer break, vacations, cook outs, and festivals! Festivals are one of my favorite warm weather fun times and one of the best in The A is the Virginia-Highland Summerfest. Virginia-Highland is one of Atlanta’s most historic neighborhoods dating back to 1905.

Summerfest 2013 Virginia-Highland

The Summerfest had a juried Artist Market, 5k Race, live music, and of course good food and libations! OK, so what do you wear to a festival you ask, when it’s hot and humid outside? Here’s a pretty pick!

Dress//Necklace//Earrings//Bracelet//Watch//Bag//Wedge

A maxi dress with colorful accessories, easy cross-body and comfy wedge sandals is a good choice.

Do you have a favorite summer festival?

6 Feet Tall In My Head!

May 30, 2013 by robincharmagne 8 Comments

Hello Pretties,
Guess what? It’s Thursday, pre-weekend, yeah! My week really is going better than expected, busy but manageable. These short weeks can be a blessing and a curse, hey I’m feeling blessed.

I admit I’m not a shoe girl, but I love wedge heels. Being 5 feet tall exactly, the wedge heel gives me the height Mother Nature didn’t(she gave me beautiful brown eyes instead, I ain’t complaining). A wedge heel is also super comfy, so I can go from day to night with ease. Here are some of my faves from Macy’s!

1 – Nine West with lattice pattern
2 – Elliott Lucca with tassel
3 –Calvin Klein with animal print heel
4 –Steve Madden with snake print ankle strap
5 –Donald J Pilner with a bow
6 –Calvin Klein in red and black
7 –Jessica Simpson in color-block
8 –DV by Dolce Vita with gold accent
9 –Unlisted with linear heel
10 –American Rag like a bootie
11 –Madden Girl with double ankle strap
12 –Style Co. thong with striped heel

Are you rocking wedge heels? What’s your fave?

Wedge Sneakers – Pretty or Pitiful?

November 14, 2012 by robincharmagne 3 Comments

Hello pretties,
By now you’ve seen the newest trend in footwear, the wedge sneaker.

Some of these look exactly like a sneaker and some a bit more fashionable. I especially don’t like the styles with the white soles, looks too much like a sneaker. But, I do like the variety of styles, colors, and materials I’m seeing with this trend. The price point ranges from a low of $30 to a high of over $1000.

As a 40-something Diva, I’m not so sure about this trend. Is it for teens, young adults, or a Diva looking for a comfortable yet somewhat stylish shoe. I might style the wedge sneaker something like this.

For me the jury is still out. How would you style this trend?
