I believe in shopping on a budget, both for myself and my clients.  I prefer quality pieces, but can’t quite afford designer prices.  Let’s be real, not many people can.  I adore brands that offer quality at a relatively affordable price point, hence I love Vince Camuto…especially for accessories.  For those of you who don’t know, the man himself passed away last week at the age of 78.  He accomplished so much in his years as a designer and entrepreneur, including co-founding Nine West, and earning a lifetime achievement award in the footwear industry.  Here I styled a set featuring his beautiful shoes and handbags…

I chose the stylish Trumen Heel because it’s a great option for now and later.  Fringe is a huge trend for spring, and though these are technically sandals, the suede and embellishment makes them totally winter appropriate (depending on your climate).  Wear now with a pair of skinny jeans and a cropped sweater layered over a flowing tank.  (Top off with a coat or scarf for added warmth!)  I styled this particular look with the Vince Camuto Leila Shoulder Bag.  Then, when the weather warms up, you can style your Trumen heels with a printed skater dress and some fabulous cat-eye sunnies.  I love this outfit paired with the gorgeous Julia Satchel.  His pieces are truly chic and effortless!

What is your experience shopping Vince Camuto?  Do you have any favorite pieces or wishlist items?

Lots of love to Camuto’s family during this difficult time.  He will be fondly remembered by fashion people the world over ❤
