red hot-shoe of the week

You must, must, must have a great pair of reds. Any shape you want but I recommend a heel. They are remarkably versatile, they'll go with anything, given the right attitude. You will never feel as sexy as you do wearing a great red shoe.

needing nude

Nudes are a requirement. They can be worn with anything and make your bare legs look a million miles long. This is never, ever bad.

bold brights

I realize that this is a personal preference but I think it's necessary to have lots of bright colored ballet flats. They are practical and oh so delightful, all at the same time. Even better with a few special details. They are the love of my shoe life.

flat-footed

This is new to my must -have list but I stick by my decision. I think you must have a great flat boot. It's a little more casual than a heeled boot. They are more comfy and let's face it, more practical.

party on

Next on the list, a metallic party shoe. The metallic neutrality guarantees that they will match just about any fancy outfit you can find and add just a touch of sparkle at your feet. Always sexier and more interesting than basic black for a special occasion. (Carrie these are perfect for your red dress!)

booted out

We all need a great pair of tall boots. A pair with perfect lines and soft leather. We just do.

back in black

Every woman must have a great pair of black pumps (or three). These are lovely. Sleek, shiny and perfect. They make almost any outfit feel chic.

back to basics

Well girls, it's time to get back to basics. This week will feature shoes every woman should have a version of in her closet, according to me. These are the building blocks of a lovely shoe wardrobe.
