KICK IT: Your Fall '14 Shoe Report

Originally posted in The LOOK

You can always count on shoes to make the transition from warm to cold so much easier to bear. Talk to any woman about parkas, mitts and hats and her eyes instantly glaze over. But mention an amazing pair of fall boots you found and suddenly, this whole fall thing doesn't look so bad after all.

There's been a seismic sartorial shift in the shoe world this year. While we'll probably always lust after Carrie Bradshaw's infamous closetful of heels (and there are loads of pretty heels in stores for fall - see below) it's the more low-key footwear that has every editor and blogger really psyched. From flat over-the-knee boots and chunky-heeled booties to the new wear-with-everything sneakers and boy-meets-girl flats, comfort is key for fall; luckily, the new comfortable is anything but boring. This season, look for holographic finishes, cool textures, edgy zippers and playful prints to take your shoe closet (or shoe section of your closet) to the next level. And always remember this mantra when out shopping - it's never (repeat, never) about 'needs' when it comes to shoes.

Happy shoe shopping! This fall's going to be extra fun...

SHOE LOVE: InStyle x Nine West Fall Collection

A storm hit our new house last night, both literally and figuratively, so I couldn't make it into Toronto for the InStyle for Nine West fall launch party. Won't bore you with the dets. But did a storm ever stop me from shoe shopping? Nein. Niet. I spent the evening perusing the brand new collection, its largest offering yet of editor-designed shoes, handbags and jewellery.

The fall collection comprises 6 brand new shoe styles in calf hair, suede and leather in a sophisticated palette of navy, cabernet, leopard and camo, ranging from $100 - $175. I'm currently torn between the leopard ankle-strap pointy-toe and the strappy black suede stiletto. Thinking stiletto...yes, stilettooohhhh.

The small but mighty jewellery and handbag collection includes a convertible clutch and satchel featuring leopard and gold accents and silver and gold knot bangles and collars ranging from $50 - $295. 

The InStyle for Nine West capsule collection just arrived in Nine West stores and online with free shipping at ninewest.ca. It's back to school season. Think you deserve a little something...
