2009 Fall Winter Footwear Trends Not To Miss

Time flies when you’re having fun – it seems like only yesterday we were writing about the hottest summer shoes available. Now it’s time to start packing them away and stock up on some of the best winter shoes to get you through the colder months.

When you think of winter shoes, you will inevitably imagine bulky generic boots of the past. But long gone are the days when winter shoes were boring, as we are graced by many designers who want to make sure we look as good as possible no matter how cold or severe the weather may get. Today, winter shoes offer more exciting options than ever before:

Square Toes are what everyone is talking about; expect to see a lot of these gracing the streets this winter. Clean cut and professional, these are among the most flexible shoes available and they belong everywhere from the office to the holiday gala.

Reptile is the material of choice in 2009 – and winter shoes will reflect this as well. From faux snakeskin to crocodile, these incredibly striking footwear will add a bit of character especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed by drab winter fashions.

Fringe details have really hit it big – adding flair to the simple yet chic boot design, like the Joie Rockefella Brown Suede. Just make sure to pair them with skinny jeans or short skirts to help the fringe embellishments make your legs look longer.

Lace ups are incredibly feminine yet also have that fierce, vamp appeal. The daniblack Pandora Black Leather boot is a fine example of this, combining high fashion with incredible craftsmanship.

Above the knee boots are a great way to add power to any winter outfit. The Stuart Weitzman HiLo in black leather is a classic, and a great complement to skinny jeans, pants and tights. If you don't own a pair yet, long boots are indeed a must-have this winter.

Short boots, also known as shoe booties are the perfect cross between boots and shoes – you will enjoy the durability of the former and the freedom of the latter. The Stuart Weitzman Cover Up short boot is great with pants or leggings, as well as socks on extra cold days.

Soft boots are the go to boot for many stylish women, and for good reason. Like the sleek UGG classic short silver boot, this style has become iconic and is incredibly easy to slip on and off. If you have to deal with rough winter weather, these warm and comfortable shoes are the best way to endure while still looking your best.

Rugged footwear is always a recommended staple of any shoe closet. If extreme weather is unavoidable, the Juicy Couture Leo Grey Nylon boot and the Tory Burch Duck Boot are great ways to stay stylish while keeping your feet protected.

But don’t put away all of your summer favorites – Stilettos are always a great addition to your winter outfits, and if you can bear the cold, there is nothing wrong with wearing your favorite open toed shoes. This winter anything goes. So be bold.

What color sandal are you?

Lovely Anjali Sandals
I was walking with my Indian friend, Anjali, to the mall last month and she had these bright colored silver sandals that I like to call 'beautifeel': Though I like shoes, I am not very quick to pick them out so can't be sure what they were exactly. Will have to ask her.

Anyway, everywhere she went I felt embarrassed; showing off her feet like she was, while mine covered in a ghastly sneaker. (And was that a gum stuck on the bottom ... yeah, very conscious) I, unfortunately, wanted to be casual that day. I'll spare you the details of my shoe .. let us assume ...oh I don't know ... some blacky looking thing.

Oh, how I wish I could turn back the clock and join her. Her fine figure ... she sure knows how to get others to look elsewhere ... down the pavement in this case. Except the guys of course, duh!. It doesn't phase her that she's an Indian lady walking with a white girl. That's what I like about her.

So, what natural color sandals would you like?

That day brought about fond memories ... and what a way to turn this back to footwear! I don't have as many colourful sandals as Anjali so I just wanted to show a rainbow of option. I use Jildor because everybody already knows Zappos, Ada.

• red sandals
• orange sandals
• yellow sandals
• green sandals
• blue sandals
• indigo sandals
• violet sandals
• silver sandals
• gold sandals
• brown sandals
• navy blue sandals
• beige sandals
• pink sandals
• white sandals
• black sandals
  
• purple sandals
• blue violet sandals
• lime green sandals
• bronze sandals
• grey sandals
• bone sandals
• pewter sandals
• camel sandals
• copper sandals
• cream sandals
• turquoise sandals

But going back to my survey? What sandal color would you be? Me ... I'm more of a indigo sandals kind of girl.

btw: have you checked these out?

ps: let me know if I missed any color, plz. I don't care about the link

Flat Shoes for Women - Ladies Shoes that Will Open Eyes

How flat shoes rose to the top for me
Gorgeous flats by designers like the Steve Madden and Juicy Couture brand made me a convert.

We all love high heels – few things feel more empowering, sexy, dramatic, and expressive than slipping on a pair of high heels for an event, dinner, or whatever. Who has time for Madden Boots? So it may come as a shock to you to hear that more and more women are discovering, and rediscovering flat shoes as an option for daily wear. Designers have started stepping up to the plate when it comes to style and comfort, and we’re starting to notice as we peruse the fashion magazines to the gossip rags, and especially while shopping.

What has really pushed flat shoes back to the forefront? There was a time when it meant that we were starting to tire from, or –gasp – becoming too old to have heels on all the time. And perhaps some of us still feel that way. But look at what designers from Tory Burch to Marc Jacobs are coming up with, and it’ll be harder to deny that flat shoes are entering a renaissance. From ballet flats to loafers, they’re no longer a more comfortable alternative, but a fashionable alternative when high heels are just not practical to wear.

Some of my favorite flat shoes for women are being designed by my favorite shoe designers overall – Steve Madden. His bold, colorful designs captured my attention since the very beginning, and I think many of my formative, life changing adult experiences have happened when I was wearing a pair of his shoes. So it was no leap for me to try out some Steve Madden flats, like the Kobraa Black Snake, which is my favorite for when I need to look good at the office, and be ready for an impromptu night out.

Steve Madden ballet flats like the P-Jack Natural Snakeskin are just irresistible when you want to catch the eye of someone – whether it’s for admiration or envy. The understated shape of the ballet flat, combined with the snakeskin printed leather creates and eye-catching balance of flamboyance and classic design, while feeling incredibly comfortable to wear. You may not be getting on your toes in these (though you can if you want), but you’ll feel a cut above everyone nevertheless.

When I want to be carded at a bar or club (just a personal ego thing), I love wearing my Juicy Couture. Always colorful, always fresh and casual, and incredibly comfortable, I rarely go through a weekend without wearing something from Juicy. I just added some Juicy Couture flats to my wardrobe, the Edith Silver Nappa with Gold Buckle – which is every bit the Juicy I want in a ballet flat. Shiny, pretty, and amazing with everything from a cocktail dress to a pair of dark blue jeans, these are some of the best flat shoes for women I have ever invested in.

If you still don’t believe that a flat shoe will do it for you, I urge you to go to your nearest online shoe store and try some on. You’ll find that they’re every bit as comfortable and easy to walk in, and you’ll be surprised by the many variations and styles being produced by your favorite designers. Take a look online too – there are plenty of great stores like my old standby Jildor that have an incredible selection for you to look through. I’m pretty sure that it won’t be long before you’re spending more time with some gorgeous flats for your day-to-day life.

What you might not know about Juicy Couture?

Juicy Couture: How Much Do You Know?

How much do you know about your favorite brands, like Juicy Couture? Here are a few things you may not have heard about until reading this.

How did the Juicy Couture begin?

Who doesn’t love Juicy Couture? But apart from its West Coast origins and longstanding popularity with Hollywood celebrities, how much do you know about this much beloved brand? Chances are you didn’t know some of these fun facts.

Juicy Couture history

Now you may know that the Juicy Couture story started in 1996, when founders Pamela Skaist Levy and Gela Taylor came together with a few hundred dollars, a pair of scissors and a bag of t-shirts. But what you may not have heard is that their first step towards becoming fashion icons was through the world of maternity denim. That’s right – they started working together on a collection of jeans for pregnant women back in 1994, called Travis Jeans. The name changed to Juicy Couture in 1996, as the collection also turned towards the trademark sexy look that makes them one of the leading designer fashion brands today.

Juicy Couture fashion - Current trends

Juicy Couture has come a long way since then. Their current collection includes clothing for men as well as children, and there is a plethora of gorgeous Juicy Couture handbags, jewelry, and even irresistible dog accessories. Something you may not know however is that the fame and fortune of this brand has even reached Barbie status. The Juicy Couture Barbie dolls that are inspired by the designs of Ms. Levy and Ms. Taylor wear adorable fashions by the brand from top to toe. The Juicy Couture Barbie phenomenon has come to include everything from faux fur, jewelry and even amazing footwear.

Speaking of amazing footwear, did you also know that this brand also makes shoes – not just for Barbie, but for the rest of us – that are every bit as sexy and feminine as the rest of their clothes? Most people think of Juicy Couture handbags, cute t-shirts and flattering pants when they think of the label. But Juicy Couture flats and wedges are just as equally fashionable and comfortable, and if you didn’t know they existed you should take a closer look. You can find them everywhere your local quality shoe stores, and also in online stores like Jildor Shoes.

Since summer is approaching, Juicy flip flops are looking particularly appealing; they come in several multi color combinations such as brown/pink, navy/red and yellow/navy, and are adorned with the cutest charm detailing. If you want something with a bit more height, these Juicy Couture shoes also come as

• juicy couture wedges
• juicy couture sandals
• juicy couture slippers

Regarding the wedjge, basically the same as the classic flip flop but with a 1.5” wedge or a 3” platform wedge. Or, for a slightly more dressed up pair of Juicy Couture flats, check out the suede upper style flip-flop. Available in a few different colors that are perfect for spring and summer, it comes with a comfy cork foot bed and adjustable vamp straps. An adorable rhinestone encrusted starfish ornament on his shoe will complete your Juicy look.

With the incredible expansion of Juicy Couture into a worldwide tour-de-force in fashion, you may have thought that the original creators Pamela Skaist Levy and Gela Tailor would have kicked back and relaxed by now. You’ll be impressed (and perhaps even comforted if you are a huge Juicy fan) to learn that they are still at the creative helm of Juicy Couture. Liz Claiborne Inc. bought the company in 2003, but the two have remained there as co-presidents.

This brand keeps on surprising and impressing us with their creative genius. Whether we are die hard fans of Juicy Couture handbags or Juicy Couture shoes doesn’t matter – we love the fact that they never grow predictable or boring. And despite their tremendous success since their humble beginnings, they still seem to keep our fashionable comfort as their top priority. That’s something we all most certainly do know and appreciate about Juicy Couture.

Five Designer Shoes You Better Know

Ever feel like you go to an online shoe store and are faced with too many choices? There are many great brands, but these five will surely get you started.

Know those ladies designer shoes?

Most women in this world agree that shoes are crucial to the successful completion of a truly stylish look. But unless you are a shoe critic or fashion editor it may be tough to keep track of the available brands and their latest styles. The classic, timeless labels as well as the emerging daredevil designers evolve with ongoing fashions and it can prove quite the challenge to know what brands to consider at any particular point in time. Right now, there are five designer shoes you should know if you take your shoes seriously.

Steve Madden brand

Steve Madden is a designer that sets trends. The influence that his shoes have on fashion is unmistakable, and if you want to make sure your wardrobe is complete you cannot avoid a pair of fashionable Steve Madden flats. Whether you need shoes for work or something for casual nights out on the town, these come in everything from stylish black leather to gold snake. Light and elegant with a defined edge, Steve Madden shoes make perfect springtime additions to any outfit.

Juicy Couture brand

Juicy Couture, the must have clothing brand from California, have launched a shoe collection that no respectable fashionista should ignore. While they at first were most recognized for their unique take on the tracksuit, this label today also has an eye for the right accessories – which is why Juicy Couture shoes are all the rage today. It doesn’t matter if you boast a casual, athletic wardrobe or have a dressier, chic fashion sense, add Juicy Couture flats to list of stylish must haves. Smart, fun and fashionable, these designer shoes are also comfortable like few.

Marc Jacob brand

Marc by Marc Jacobs womens shoes deliver the perfect designer shoes for days when we dare to be different. Known for his signature individualism, Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes are often in bright and unusual colors and materials, and feature uniquely round toes and chunky heels. They work well with classic and more subdued styles, but you can also easily wear them with the more daring pieces in your wardrobe. You will undeniably turn heads wherever you go.

Tory Burch brand

Tory Burch is one of contemporary fashion’s most prominent icons, and her designer women’s shoes define the most important trends of today. Whether you are a vintage diva, a bohemian star or come straight off the Paris runway, you can never go wrong with a pair of Tory Burch Reva shoes. Like every shoe from this versatile label, the Tory Burch Reva is a perfect example of traditional yet transitional design with on-trend accents.

Uggs brand

Ugg shoes are classics that no woman should ignore. Light and flexible to wear, they will not only keep your feet cozy and dry, but also show you know your fashion. Don’t let the comfortable look fool you, Ugg footwear is fashion runway footwear – and for springtime there are more fun, fashionable colors than ever before. Pink, pool or purple shades look as good buttoned up as slouched down. If you don’t already have a pair, get one.

Whatever brand and model you choose, none of these designer shoes should be ignored. As you set out to acquire your next pair, make it easy for yourself by shopping in one of the places that hold all of these exquisite brands. Stores like Jildor that have been around for a while know their designer shoes well – a valuable quality when you are about to invest in your most important fashion accessories.

How to wear UGGS ... like a PRO

Love Uggs shoes but not sure how to wear boots?

The popularity of these Uggs sheepskin boots
Learn about the season’s hottest boot helpful fashion tips

Ever since “Baywatch” babe Pamela Anderson sported them a few years back wearing nothing more than a red bathing suit, Ugg boots have risen – and stayed – in the fashion spotlight. From Hollywood socialites to teens across the country, Ugg footwear has made a comeback once again as cold weather’s favorite boot for the style-savvy set.

HOW TO WEAR UGG?

Despite their popularity, there often remains some dispute as to how to wear these casual, comfy kicks – while some argue that they should only be worn with jeans and in the cold weather, others confess to wearing them at the beach and pairing them with skirts, sweats and even evening wear! Although there may be no “right” way to wear these fabulous boots from down under, there are certainly many ideas as far as how to wear Uggs fashion, which includes boots, slippers and shoes.

When choosing your outfits, ask yourself this simple question: do you want your UGG shoes to be a fashion focal-point, or are you simply wearing them for comfort? Once you’ve decided that, you can decide how to coordinate your look for a casual or sleek look. Here are a few Uggs tips for inspiration:

The chic tailor-made fashion
If you’re pairing your Ugg Australia boots or shoes with denim, tuck your jeans smoothly into your Ugg boots. This look works well with skinny jeans, keeping you warm & dry in the cold winter months.

Cuff it up w/ jeans look
Another cool look to try with jeans – simply cuff your jeans over the top of your Ugg boots; perfect for casual weekend wear or hanging out at home.

Long & leggy style
When you want to create a more polished look and show off the latest Ugg footwear, pair your boots or shoes with a pair of dark-colored leggings – the color combinations are endless, allowing you to transition your ensemble effortlessly from office casual to a low-key evening on the town.

Loose-yet-comfy ensemble
For those times when casual is a state of mind, Uggs are the perfect compliment to your laid-back informal wear: team up with a fitted hoodie and matching sweats for an easy outfit that’s ideal for running errands or hanging with friends.

Winter wonderland wear
Go ahead, hit the ski lodge in your Uggs – with a light and flexible outsole along with a suede heel guard, these comfy boots provides durable wear all season long in any weather!

Weekend warrior outfit
Relax – Uggs even has a pair of casual footwear for those who want to run around town in their slippers! Check out the Ugg Fluff slippers ... perhaps the world’s comfiest slipper – featuring luxurious fleece inside and out, the Fluff Scuff feels and looks decadent on your feet, while a cork-infused rubber outsole gives this slipper traction for wearing in the home or out & about for simple errands!

As you can see, there’s really no wrong or right way to wear your Ugg shoes – from sporty and casual to sleek and chic, you can pair these versatile boots and shoes with nearly any ensemble. Available in a variety of colors, styles and materials, Ugg Australia offers a great selection of stylish shoes for women and children – with so many to choose from, there’s a perfect pair to complement your personal taste. Fashionable and functional, they’re also a great way to keep warm and comfy while still looking trendy – what’s your Ugg style?

What to Wear with Hot Pink UGGs?

For most of us, it’s the middle of yet another freezing winter, and what better way to keep warm than with a fluffy fleece-lined jacket and a cozy pair of boots? Look around, however, and you’ll notice in most suburbs and cities, the winter wardrobe can suffer from a severe case of the blahs – functional and practical in dark shades of blue, brown, and the always-reliable black…but where’s the fun in that? Why not mix it up this winter & pick up a pair of hot pink Uggs? Nothing adds more excitement to your wardrobe than a playful, dynamic dose of color – it’s easy to spice things up with the right accent, and shoes are the perfect opportunity to express your unique fashion sense. Whether it’s adding a pair of day-glo Uggs or a flirty ruffled blouse, pink is certainly one of the hippest colors this season, transforming your wardrobe from drab to fab! But, you might be asking – how do you wear bright-colored women’s shoes? Read on for some helpful hints and you’ll be thinking pink in no time.

WHAT TO WEAR WITH HOT PINK UGGS

So, you’ve dared to go bold with a pair of pink Ugg boots…but what exactly do you wear with them to show off your fashion-savvy self? Here are a few suggestions to coordinate your ensemble and make your new Ugg shoes a stylish focal point:

The Mod Look: Try pairing your pink Uggs with a long ribbed sweater in neutral tones, such as black, chocolate or ivory. Team up with a pair of skinny jeans in a dark wash and add an accessory or two, such as ethnic beads, a simple bangle or a pair of hoop earrings, and you’ve got a streamlined look that’s perfect for weekend chic. We recommend the Ugg Australia Women's - Classic Cardy Pink to complete this fresh take on classic mod-style.

The Rocker: Have fun with your new kicks and take your rockin’ attitude to another dimension: grab a pair of baby pink Ugg boots in winter or Marc by Marc Jacobs Pink Leather platform sandal in the summer, and throw on your favorite concert-tee and faded-denim stretch jeans. Next, complete the look with some 80’s-style make-up: eyeshadow in frosted blues and a hint of lipgloss in sparkly pink! Finally, add a few funky accessories, such as skinny rubber bracelets, an animal-print bandana or some leather cuff wristbands, and you’re ready to hit the backstage with this totally rad & retro look.

The Weekender: Keep it casual & comfy on the weekends – the cork-infused rubber outsole gives the Ugg Australia Women's - Fluff Scuff II Pink enough traction to make these the perfect slippers for lounging around the house or running errands! Slide into your favorite hoodie and sweats and you’ll wish you could always wear your pink Ugg slippers!

Finally, don’t keep all the fun to yourself – kids can get in on the look, too! There are plenty of adorable pink options for little fashionistas – the Ugg Australia for KIDS – Kids Classic Short Pink will add sass to her step and surely become a favorite in your little girl’s wardrobe. Featuring all of the benefits as the adult version, these boots provide extra comfort for your tot. She’ll also love the Ugg Australia for KIDS – Kids Crochet Pink/Orchid, featuring a crocheted shaft that’s stylish when slouched over jeans.

So go ahead – have some fun this season with fun, frolicky pink boots (or black boots)and shoes…functional and fashionable, Ugg boots aren’t just trendy, but an easy way to add a splash of excitement to any wardrobe!

Where to Get Your Famous Footwear and Look Fabulous?

If you truly love shoes, you’ll love Jildor – the famous footwear store. From the online store, www.JildorShoes.com, to their famous footwear locations throughout Long Island, NY, including Cedarhurst, Woodbury, Great Neck and Southampton, finding the best selection of women’s designer shoes has never been easier. As one of the nation’s leading independent retailers of women’s dress shoes, Jildor Shoes celebrates over 59 years of quality customer service and reliability, offering an exceptional selection of designer footwear in a wide range of styles and sizes, from narrow to wide widths. From famous footwear discounts to an extraordinary selection of women and girl’s designer shoes, one will appreciate shopping.

Flats are where it’s at!

As a comfortable and fashionable footwear option, flats should have a place in every woman's wardrobe. When paired with the proper attire, flat shoes can be as stylish and fun as their high-heeled counterparts, while offering the advantage of comfort that high heels simply can’t compete with. So, whether you're short, tall, or somewhere in between, give yourself a break every once in a while, and slip into a pair of flats – your feet will thank you! Check out the following guidelines to be sure that your outfit’s high on fashion – even when your heels aren't.

Miles of style…

For the past few seasons, ballerina flats have been a trendy style in women’s shoes, both on & off the runway. Comfortable, practical, and easily worn with nearly any type of outfit, flats are one of the most popular women’s shoes. Because flats aren't as visually dramatic as heels or pumps, look for ballerina flats in fashionable colors, lush materials and rich textures to help spice up your look without having to resort to a shoe or boot with more height.

Look feminine & fabulous!

When wearing flats, one fashion tip is to play off of the simple styling of this ultra-comfy footwear. Choose soft, demure looks such as knit wrap-style tops, sweater sets or tailored blouses in off-white or pastel shades with floaty, mid-calf length skirts in a darker solid for a flirty yet classic feminine look this spring.

However, you should proceed with some fashion precaution when wearing flats. Here are a few helpful style tips to keep in mind:

Flats & Skirts: When pairing ballerina flats with skirts, choose hemlines that fall above the knee in order to give a leggier appearance; avoid wearing flats with longer skirts, as this can appear frumpy.

Flats & Pants: While Capri pants and flats are a perfect fashion duo, you want to avoid wearing slacks or trousers that are overly long, as it gives a sloppy appearance (and can also ruin the hem of your pants).

So, now that you’ve got a better idea as to how to wear ballerina flats, you might be wondering where to find the best selection of designer flats this season. Visit Jildor Shoes online and check in often on our “Just Arrived” section to see the hottest styles, as we’re constantly receiving new and exciting collections. Whether you choose to visit us in person at one of our famous footwear outlet locations or shop from the convenience of home, you’re sure to find the designer names and styles you’re looking for, including Marc by Marc Jacobs, the Tory Burch Reva collection, Steve Madden flats, Juicy Couture flats, Ugg Australia (including Ugg boots, shoes, and slippers for women and children), and much, much more!

Where Can I Buy UGGs Shoes ... Without Getting Arrested?

Made famous since the mid-nineties by a variety of Hollywood celebrities, Ugg shoes have been a mainstay in the realm of fashionable women’s footwear for over a decade. Take one look at the Ugg footwear philosophy and it’s easy to see why these cozy boots never go out of style: luxury and comfort.
