Gorgeous jeweled pumps are on sale today during Nordstrom shoe sale. Whether you are looking for a pair of platform pumps – like our picks below – comfy flats, or booties, this is the time to shop.   We love Nordstrom shoe sales for their wonderful style selection, numerous sizes availability, ease of return, and great pricing.

The shoe choices are plentiful, but we especially love these statement making platform and wedge pumps.

1.BCBGeneration ‘Dante’ Pump -this open-toe pump stands tall with the ruched detailing and jeweled detailing.  This is the perfect dressy pump to make a splash when you are craving an “it” shoe.   We love finds that have the look of upscale designer footwear at a fraction of a price.

Spring Shoe Trends: Nude and Neutral

by fh on February 26, 2010 · 2 comments

Spring2010NeuteralShoeTrendDesigns from left to right: Christian Siriano, Lanvin, Donna Karan, Valentino Sandal

Nude shoes is one of the most prominent spring trends.    Earthy tones and pretty pastels filled Spring 2010 runways and are streaming into boutiques and department stores this spring.  We love the nude shoes trend for many reasons: the lighter hues are refreshing after the long months of winter filled with blacks and browns.  Neutrals shades add classy and sophisticated spin to everything you wear.   Light shaded ankle booties and pumps elongate the leg.

Our best Nude Shoes Trend Picks are:

Nude Peep Toe Booties – are a perfect way to smoothly transition from dark winter boots to light hued spring footwear while keeping the feet warm from spring breeze.  The light leather will add a sophisticated edge whether you wear them with skinny jeans or above the knee ruched dress.

Open Toe Pump: These platform beauties are incredibly versatile.  They work equally well when worn with a cocktail dress or an evening gown or  jeans paired with a going out top.

MellieBianco
This Melie Bianco W8-12 Satchelis stylish and roomy. It is available in 4 rich colors and adorned with high quality turn-lock and diagonal zipper hardware. The bag has a unique geometrical shape that gives it sophisticated edge.

The designer behind the brand believes that a right bag can make an outfit. With that notion, and an eye for detail, the designer pays special attention to quality of material, stitching, and hardware.

Melie Bianco bags are not made from animal leather, instead they are made from alternative materials that look rich and luxurious, but sport a significantly lower price tag than luxury accessories comparable in detail.  Which is a great way to reduce a carbon footprint, without forgoing quality.   This chic find costs $98 and gets superb customer reviews.

Another added bonus is that the bag easily converts to a shoulder bag with a detachable shoulder strap. It is time to get styling.
