Wedges For All

Wedges are the prefect way to dress up your outfit this Spring! They are stylish and way more comfortable than just your regular pair of heels. Not to mention that wearing any type of heel elongates you and your body, in turn making you look slimmer (and who wouldn't want that)!

This season there are so many different heights, styles, colors and prices of wedges out there, so you're bound to find something that suits your own personal style. Additionally, there are so many different outfits to wear your wedges with this spring, you're going to find multiple options with even just one pair in your closet.

First, I think that wedges with cork bottoms are great to match with simple sundresses or matchstick white jeans. The cork bottom, makes them casual and great for everyday wear. However, whatever color you choose on top can still accent your outfit perfectly. I recommend these from Nine West ($79) or these from Mia ($75).

Another big look for wedges this spring, are the adorned wedges. Remember how in my article "Spring Hardware" I said that metal grommets, buckles, etc. were in? Well the same trend applies to your wedge. From jeweled wedges like these from Banana Republic ($98) to these grommeted wedges from Tory Burch ($325), the more "hardware" the better.

Looking for something a little bit bolder and brighter? Well try these two amazing aqua colored wedges. One is from Moschino Cheap and Chic ($395) and they other are from Frye ($178). They are two eye popping wedges perfect for the adventurous fashionista.

Lastly, it is important to remember that not all wedges have to be three inches tall. There are plenty of lower heeled options out there, like these chic but simple wedges also from Nine West ($69) and these gladiator style wedges from Steve Madden ($89.95).

No matter what your color preferences, price range or personal taste there is a wedge for you this spring! Like the title said: wedges for all!

This “jelly” flat, is a perfect beach rendition of the classic Tory Burch flat. Its waterproof material makes it perfect for your flaunt down the boardwalk!

Banana Republic Goddess Headband ($19.50)

For a great way to accent those sun induced highlights you’ll receive while splashing around, try this headband from Banana Republic. It is the ideal way to keep those pesky fly-a-ways from your eyes, while the gold in the band complements your locks.

If headbands aren’t your head accessory of choice, try this fedora-style hat from J.Crew, for a laid-back look. Another perk? It blocks those damaging rays from the sensitive skin on your face.

5 Essentials

Recently, I watched a "web-i-sode" of Isaac Mizrahi's. The webisode featured Isaac's five essential pieces for girls in their twenties. Since I am in my twenties, it couldn't have been more applicable. So I thought I'd give some great examples of these five essential pieces.

1.) a watch: Isaac recommended getting a watch with a removable leather band, so that you can change it up when you feel like it. An alligator band one day, or a super bright band the next. Buying a watch with an exchangeable band allows for a lot of versatility. But if you are like me, (always forgetting to take your watch off before getting in the shower) a waterproof metal watch may be more up your alley. I am a huge fan of the Michael Kors watches.  These are very classic looking watches, but you can also find some with edge. From traditional gold and silver watches, to heavy black and white watches, Michael Kors offers something for everyone at amazing prices. These watches range from $195 to $495 and everywhere in between. With a reliable sturdy watch for only $200 your set! Especially since you're going to need to spend some cash for these next essential items.

2.) a stiletto black boot: Choosing the right boot, is like choosing the right man. They need to be stylish, attractive, not cost you an arm and a leg and be comfortable. These from Report Signature ($237) meet these qualifications. Now, if you really want to splurge try these fold-over high black pump boots from Alexander McQueen ($1,286). If polished leather isn't your favorite and suede boots are more your style try these from Barbara Bui ($447). Lastly, as a helpful hint- if you're planning on wearing your boots all night, or if you do a lot of walking to and from work try these Dr. Scholls, For Her Comfort Insoles available at most drugstores (trust me these are lifesavers)!

3.) a tote bag: When Mizrahi describes this piece on his webisode, he began sketching Louis Vuitton symbols all over the tote. Now I know everyone wants a Louis, but realistically girls in their twenties are not shelling out thousands of dollars on designer bags. Nevertheless, there are plenty of totes out there to satisfy this essential. From black to brown, leather or pleather, this is an item that comes down to personal  preference. But if I may... I love this Tory Burch Clayton Classic Tote ($450) and this Mulberry Mitzy Tote ($750). Finally, this soft leather Kate Spade "Darien-Stevie" Shopper Tote is incredible ($365).

4.) diamond earrings: Duh! Earrings are definitely not just an essential item for twenty-year-olds. Every woman wants diamonds, and Mizrahi points that out. In fact, his recommendation is to start with studs in twenties, get bigger pair in your thirties, forties, fifties...etc., so that by the time you're an old lady your diamonds are HUGE! Men everywhere are cursing Isaac Mizrahi for even suggesting this, but with Valentines day right around the corner, you may need to send this post along to your significant other!

5.) a pashmina/shawl: I am not talking about just your regular pashmina off the street, but a quality pashima- one that is wool, cashmere, or silk. Remember these are nice "essential" pieces that you will be able to keep not only through your twenties, but for the rest of your life, so choose them correctly. This is a great item to purchase now, since most places are marking down their pashminas and shawls for spring. Bluefly, has marked down these Magaschoni cashmere shawls 50%!
