Trend: Lace

What is more romantic and sexy than lace? I sure can't think of anything. Lately, many designers have been adding the delicate textile to their shoes. It makes sense, when you think about it: what part of your body needs the most help being romantic and sexy more than your feet. I kid, I kid, but these really are lovely shoes.

Trend: Polka Dots

I'm not sure if this will a trend I will catch onto, but I have been surprised by how many designers are incorporating polka dots into their shoes. Here are just a few:

Shoe of the Day

The news said that we would get .5" to 1" of snow over night. We got 6" and it's still snowing. So while I am stuck inside for the 4th day in a row, I will dream of being on a beach somewhere digging my toes into the sand.

Valentino Bow Thong Sandal

Actually, scratch that. I wouldn't bring these sandals within 100 feet of sand. I just wish it was warm enough to wear these outside, anywhere.

Love Shoes

It's almost Valentine's Day, and who wouldn't like some shoes that spread the love?
