Tuesday Shoeday: Rachel Zoe

I’ve kind of loved Rachel Zoe’s line ever since it launched back in 2011.  The clothes are fab, and the shoes are even better.  They’re kind of pricey but not crazy high-end designer pricey…as in I could definitely afford a pair if I bought them on sale.  Since I’ve been MIA for a while, I thought it would be nice to offer a more in-depth Tuesday Shoeday today, and pair some of my current fave Rachel Zoe styles with on-trend spring outfits.  Without further ado….

RZ Seneca

My hands-down favorite style is the Seneca mule.  I’m a huge fan of heels, and this chunky style is more walkable than a traditional stiletto.  I love the sculptural feel and the metallic finish.  Wear with a trendy gingham print top (or dress) like this adorable peplum blouse from Zara.  This look could fly for day or night.

RZ Burke

If you’re not into heels, or you’re just looking for a more casual outfit, check out the Burke slip-on.  Equal parts chic and sporty, I love the woven leather texture.  This shoe would look great with a simple chambray shirtdress, like the one pictured (from Madewell).  Accessorize with a colorful tote and some trendy round frame sunnies and you’re good to go!

RZ SkylaFor a definite night-out ensemble, look to the sleek and sexy Skyla mule (also available in nude).  This shoe is the perfect combo of retro and modern, and would look smashing paired with an on-trend suede crop top.  The top pictured is super affordable via Oasis.  Wear with a flouncy skater skirt and a few key accessories for a hot night on the town.

The best part is, all of these styles are available via Piperlime, and right now they’re running a major sale with the discount code “chicsale”, so check it out and take advantage!!  Also, let me know if you like this more comprehensive format for Tuesday Shoeday, and I’ll be sure to do more in the future.

Shoe Love Is True Love

If there’s one fashion item I’m obsessed with most of all, it’s most definitely the shoe.  Shoe’s are sculptural, and I see every style like a work of art.  Plus I’m a shortie, so I rely on heels to make me taller 99% of the time.  I’m constantly trolling the latest styles (both designer and affordable) so I think I’m going to start doing a Tuesday Shoeday segment each week to highlight new finds and top picks.  In this case, I didn’t want to wait because Nordstrom is having their semi-annual clearance sale and one of my favorite (affordable) brands, BCBGeneration, is on clearance.  They make SUPER CUTE shoes for the price, and right now you can score all the styles below for around $60 each.  I have my eye on the red and yellow pairs, but I haven’t splurged yet.

BCBGeneration

Shop these bright spring styles at 40-50% off online at Nordstrom!   

On a side not, I adore Nordstrom because they offer free shipping, free return shipping, and they have a very lenient return policy.  Once I bought a pair of heels so uncomfortable that even I couldn’t bare it.  I brought them back to Nordstrom and received a full refund regardless of the fact that they had been worn.  Their customer service is generally very good.
