Aren’t we all just looking for cute, affordable summer sandals? I thought so! Nine West has always been a brand I thought of as what I shopped in high school (yes, I know I am dating myself!). However, in the last few years I have come to realize that they are again the best fashion shoes for the money. I believe in value. Is the style current but not so current that you’ll only be able to wear the shoe for one season? Is the shoe comfortable enough that you’ll wear it often?

Spring Trend Preview
Today I’d like to highlight some more of my favorite Spring/Summer 2012 trends. The last few seasons I’ve struggled to find newness as I’ve put together my Trend Talks.

Have you heard the old adage, if you wore it the first time around you shouldn’t wear it the second time around? I’m here to show you how to do the “NEW” Neon so no one will think you just pulled your old neon out of the closet. Still unsure? Start with an accessory, then go bigger if you dare. I started with neon yellow sunglasses and before I knew it, I was obsessing over …
A Bag For Every Whim
