The fact is, sometimes it’s hard to walk in a single woman’s shoes. That’s why we need really special ones now and then – to make the walk a little more fun” – Carrie Bradshaw

When I think of fabulous shoes, the one and only Carrie Bradshaw comes to mind. For the woman who introduced the world to Manolo Blahnik, it would only make sense that her first shoe collection would be in collaboration with Manolo – Yes ladies, you heard that correctly, Sarah Jessica Parker is launching her very own shoe collection! The line, SJP, in collaboration with George Malkemus (of Manolo Blahnik) and Nordstrom is set to launch exclusively in selected Nordstrom stores on February 28. SJP strives to reinvent colors as neutrals, giving your look an energetic yet sophisticated update. Gayle King and Adam Glassman of O, The Oprah Magazine, got an inside scoop of the new collection, and let’s just say I cannot wait to get my hands on a pair! Take a peek at the video:

Calling Carrie Bradshaw: MULES ARE BACK! Yes, you heard that correctly – those backless, slide-on heels you graciously gave away early in the millennium have made a comeback this season. Though they may resemble a shoe your grandmother would wear to Christmas dinner, don’t be surprised if you are yearning for the new Fendi mules to pair with a pair of cropped cigarette pants for your next happy hour. Check out some of designers newest mules for this season. I have to say 3.1 Phillip Lim nails it with his bold take on the classic shoe. What do you think?

Goodbye Emerald! It’s official, Pantone has officially announced its 2014 Color of the Year: Dazzling Blue. Being a fun twist on the classic cobalt, Dazzling Blue is a hot hue that will look fab on almost every skin tone. Whether it be a bold structured tote, fierce stacked ankle booties, or a flouncy flared mini, Dazzling Blue will be making a loud statement in the upcoming year. With only one more day until Fashion Week, we will see if designers channeled the Pantone predictions in their newest runway collections!

When sky-high heels swept the runway, I jumped with joy. The higher the better! This is precisely why I am not 100% thrilled with the newest trend: heels lower than 3 inches. This could mean a return of the awkward kitten heel – SHIELD YOUR EYES! Yes, I understand they are probably more comfortable, but they just seem way too practical to me. Take a peek at some of designer’s newest heels:

Miu Miu

Valentino
Chloe
Manolo Blahnik

Tory Burch
Now these are some low-heeled sandals I wouldn’t mind in my closet to wear with a pair jean shorts and a flowy white tank for casual summer days:

Will you be adding low heels to your wardrobe this season?
