Posted by Silke

This blog is mostly about high-heeled shoes, but I realize not every woman likes to wear high heels or simply can’t due to various reasons. So, to even things out a little and to encourage long time high heel wearers to spend a little bit of time in flats, here is a selection of popular flat dress sandals.

Most of these flat sandals wouldn’t look the greatest for formal occasions, yet they are still way dressier than your standard plastic flip-flops.

The Jada leather dress sandal with metallic studs by Matisse is stunning and will dazzle your foot. Trend setting design and meticulous craftsmanship makes this flat dress sandal a must have. Priced at only $55.98 for the Gold and $100.95 for the Pewter.
The Jada flat sandal is ideal for pairing with shorts, capris, jeans, as well as casual skirts and flirty summer dresses.

Giuseppe Zanotti Designer Flat Sandal

Giuseppe Zanotti Flats

Casual in a very polished way, these flat leather sandals from designer Giuseppe Zanotti have a very metropolitan feel. The zipper-accessed ankle strap along with the thong toe offers a secure fit to this Italian-crafted masterpiece.  The leather sole promises a sleek strut in your designer sandals.

Priced at a steep $650 and available only in Geranio, this pair of flat dress sandals is a real show-stopper.

As you can see, flat sandals don’t have to be unattractive and boring. With all the fun and chick styles of flat sandals to choose from this year it’s alright to leave your sexy high heels at home every now and again.

Dress flat sandals are a great footwear option for women who can’t wear heels or simply need a little break
from their high-heeled shoes.

Posted by Silke

I bought this pair of open-toe wedge sandals just in time for our recent trip to Boston, MA. The Kinskey wedge sandals from Report bloom with elegance, made from rich leather plus they have a pretty floral accent on the vamp. Report shoes are perfect for girls of any age – for dressing up or keeping it casual.

On the second day of our stay in Boston, we were able to go sight-seeing. What better way to review a pair of new wedges than while walking around downtown Boston all day, right?

The Kinskey sandals by Report are made from a very soft leather and a cushioned foot bed. With the strappy vamp and adjustable ankle strap they are very easy to pull and off.

High Heel Wedge Sandals

Kinskey Report Sandals

The 3 3/4 inch cork heels look very intimidating at first, but the 1 1/4 inch platform definitively helped even things out a bit and made for a very comfortable fit. Walking on even surfaces wasn’t a problem at all.

It did get a little tricky while walking on the cobble stones at Market Square and down by the harbor. I ended up holding Nick’s arm some of the way, but hey, neither one of us minded. :)

By the end of the day my feet felt pretty good and I only had one little hurt spot on the side of my left little toe. Not bad at all, considering I was wearing walking shoes the day before and my feet were literally killing me.

title pic Sexy Shoes to wear with Skinny Jeans

Posted by Silke

A pair of skinny jeans is one of the least forgiving styles of jeans to wear and the pair of shoes you’ll choose will make a difference.

Skinny jeans can be difficult for a lot of women, it’s somewhat of a balancing act. To pull this look off you need to give your figure and the time of year some consideration.Choose the right pair of sexy shoes and wear shoes you want to show off since the whole shoe will be on display.

To make the most of the skinny jeans trend I have gathered a few pointers.

  • Booties with a chunky heel – very flattering on shapely legs
  • Tall boots with flat heels – make your legs looks slimmer
  • Pumps with pointed toes – a classic combination
  • Stiletto and platform pumps – wear a longer top to balance it out
  • Wedges or Espadrilles - perfect for summer just not too chunky
  • Ballerina flats – looks great if you’re long and lean
  • Canvas Sneakers – avoid shoes that are bulky or puffy

Sexy Shoes to wear with Skinny Jeans

Try out different combinations, dark wash jeans are more slimming, and see which pair of sexy shoes you’re most comfortable with and works best for your body type.

There is a shoe style out there that is just right for you. Have fun rocking your skinny jeans and sexy shoes!

Which pair of shoes looks best with your skinny jeans?
