8 Shoes Every Woman Should Own

14 Thursday Apr 2016

Tags

As anyone who reads the blog regularly has noticed, we have been doing a series on what you should have in your closet.  This week, finally, my true love…shoes!
If my closet is anything but minimalistic, my shoe collection is where I really hit one of the ballpark.  I have no willpower when it comes to a new pair of stilettos.  That said, I do know what shoes are important to have in any woman’s wardrobe, and which ones are for my own happiness.  Here is my list of shoes every girl should have handy to make any outfit work.

The Classic Black Pump
This is what I consider the biggest splurge piece.  Spend your money well, and these shoes can last you a lifetime.  They go with almost everything.  The make jeans look chic and can round out any cocktail dress.  Go for a classic style, and a reasonable heel height, because these are your go to pump.
The Nude Pump
Cute makes your leg look longer, and these shoes will pick up where your black pumps seem a little to aggressive.  They work with a sundress, or at a wedding, or with that great skirt when you want to make your legs look like they go on forever.  Personally I vote for an open to, and a closed, but really know yourself and your wardrobe and get a pair that matches your style.
The Statement Heel
Just like I think ever wardrobe needs a going out dress, and a trendy top, every wardrobe needs the shoes that grab everyone’s attention.  For me, they are hot pink cage sandals.  I have owned them forever, and they are still my favorites.  Wear with a little black dress when you don’t feel like being anything but boring, when you go out with the girls, have a hot date, or just need a pick me up.  These are the shoes that make you smile.
The Everyday Sandal
These flay sandals you find yourself slipping on the moment the weather turns warm enough, and never want to take off.  Perfect for the beach, a day full of errands, or a lazy brunch. 
The Go to Flat
Ballet flats if they are your thing, pointed toe flats if that’s what you prefer.  These are the perfect shoe when you just don’t have it in you to wear heels.  Dressy enough for look professional, or pair with a cocktail dress, but fabulous enough to pair with your daily outfits and make everyone a little jealous of how effortlessly easy your style looks.
The Sneaker
So, maybe its functional because you actually go to that gym place people keep referring to, or maybe its just because sneakers can be a great way to add that casual but still cool look to any wardrobe.  Sportswear continues to have its hay-day in fashion, and with good reason.  While stiletto’s are a work of art, these days we are often just too busy for them to be functional in our lives.  Choose a great sneaker that really speaks to your personal style, and goes with the overall color scheme of your wardrobe.
The Ankle Boot
Every girl needs an ankle boot.  The ways to style them are endless, and they can help you transition between the seasons.  They are also a huge trend this season, as they look great with cropped pants!
 
The Riding Boot
This is the classic knee high boot.  With its half-inch heel and structured look, it will be your go to boot when the weather turns colder.  These boots can help you transition your dresses further into fall, and look great over a pair of tights or skinny jeans.  Plus, the low heel means you can easily walk in them all day.
Bonus Shoe: The Wedge!
I love a good wedge.  While I wouldn’t consider it “essential” it would be the first non-essential shoe I would buy.  Why?  Because they are slightly easier to walk in than a heel, and perfect for anything outside.  Think about all those summer weddings, or street side strolls while window shopping with friends.

How to Care for Your Leather

10 Thursday Mar 2016

Tags

bags, clean, clean leater, fashion, how to, leather care, purse, shoes

If you follow StylishTwo on Instagram, you may have noticed that fashion isn’t my (S) first love.  It’s horses.  I grew up in a barn, far from the world of Chanel, Gucci, and Coach.  One thing that I learned during my hours in the saddle that has served me well, how to care for my leather.

I learned long, long, ago that if you care well for you leather, it will last you a lifetime.  Literally.  I have a saddle from the 70’s that is still beautiful.  So how can you care for your leather bags and shoes so that they can last as long as my beloved saddle?

  1. Clean with the right products.
    Use a mild soap that will not strip the leather.  Skip all those fancy high priced ones, most of extra ingredients that strip or seal the leather.  What I use? Castile soap.  I like Kirk’s, because its mild, has minimal ingredients, and its so inexpensive.  You can often times buy it at your local store.
    Use a damp washcloth on the soap, and then gently scrub the leather.
  2. Condition.
    This stage you have to be careful with.  Leather will easily stain and turn dark.  Conditioning your leather will keep it soft and strong.  You can use something as simple as olive oil, or buy a leather conditioner, which maybe less likely to stain.  Always test a small area, to see if it stains and wait 24hrs before conditioning the rest.
  3. Protect
    The long forgotten step, and often times not necessary.  Glycerin seals the leather, protecting it from the elements.  It also gives it a nice shine!  Its a good idea for shoes to help protect them from all the wear and tear from use.  It should always be used as a last step.  Placing conditioner on over it will make a mess and not actually do your leather any good!

Please note that this is for leather, not suede!  Suede is a different thing and needs to be treated much more delicately.

Popular this season is the dress over turtle neck look, monochromatic themes and velvet.  Today we are showing S in a velvet dress, with velvet shoes and turtleneck under her dress.  This is a great way to take your sleeveless dresses into the winter months.  Chose dresses with deep “V” neck, wide shoulders, and heavier fabric. We loved the idea of monochromatic so we choses shoes and a turtle neck that were in the same color palette as the velvet dress!

Happy Monday! ~ xoxo Em

If you wanted to implement the window pane print, and weren’t quite sure how, well here is a cost effective way to add a popular style to your wardrobe! We previously showed you the window pane print in a wrap dress, check out our archives for that look. Here we paired the window pane print with the car wash pleat and a great pair of go to black booties! In this style, S is ready for the office, or she can throw off the jacket and pair it with a silky shirt for a night out on the town!

Sadly it’s getting cold! And who says you can’t wear white after labor day! We think white screams winter, so we paired white pants, with white pumps, and a white beret! It’s cold, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look great! To bump up the wow factor, we added a faux fur purse. The fuzzy purse is in this season, it’s something you can pick up cheap, and adds a lot of sass to your winter wardrobe!

Work Appropriate Footwear

Em is an Architect, which means that professional footwear is a must.  When going to meet a client, it’s critical to dress the part.  However, there is no reason to be boring and straight laced.  Here are a few favorite choices to throw into your wardrobe to jazz up that power suit or just look professional.

Although, on occasion, I will throw in a peep toe shoe – the rule of thumb is closed toe in the business world.

The rounded front chunky heel! Chunky heels are back ladies! Although a great stiletto will never go out of style, we can plan to be more stable on those sky high heels this fall!IMG_1217

Sparkly flats! Sometimes you have to visit a client and your concerned about your heel. Throw on a great pair of sparkly, pointed toe flats.  Honestly, flat doesn’t have to be boring!blog outfit 1 shoes

Multi tones! We’ve been seeing a lot of multi-tone shoes. Something with a neutral and a pop of color! I just had to stop myself from buying an incredible pair of white pumps with red trim details! They even matched the red pants I was wearing. Alas, I was good – holding out for the next fabulous pair of shoes I can’t resist!

Navy! If you’ve been following our blog you have heard me harp about Navy. Navy is the new power color. People are more likely to buy from you wearing navy over black or brown! So go out and get a pair of navy shoes already!Emily4

Nude, Chunky, And Fabulous! Like I mentioned above, chunky is in this year.  But let’s talk about another trend – nude! All over neutral is in and having a great pair of nude heels will never steer you wrong.

3-16c

The Staple! Every woman simply must own a great pair of patent leather black pumps! End. Of. Story.DSC_1389

Whimsey! As seen in our previous blog post (a must read!) “how to make your high heels more comfortable” This pair of whimsical floral heels adds a touch of feminine to the powerful world of business women. Let’s not just march on in our heels, let’s remind them we are women!StylishTwo - Comfortable Heels

And Bold Patterns! Find a bold pattern you love and go for it. Wear it with a neutral and let the shoes bet the statement. Animal prints, done in this way, make a classy outfit just a little bit fun! Everything has it’s place, and zebra print shoes should always be in the mix! StylishTwoPostADayInMay-2182

 

Thanks for checking in again this week! As you can see, S & Em are shoe obsessed!

And so we leave you with this quote below! xoxo ~ Em

“Fashion is about dressing according to what’s fashionable. Style is more about being yourself.”
