A new take on nude heels

As spring rounds the corner (yes, it's true - just ignore those pesky snowquesters!), it is once again time to pull those classic nude pumps out from the back of the closet. Ahh, how boring. Tis time for a fresh nude pump overhall - in the form of sexy lace! Perfect for classing up a casual outfit, sprucing up a staid work outfit or preparing for a night out with the girls, the Dolce Vita Vixen pumps take nude pumps to an inspirational new level.

A follow-up on jumpsuits

I recently tried on an all black jumpsuit from White House Black Market for the first time - and fell in love. With a pair of hot red high heels (of course!), I felt tall, slim and chic. However, I realized that it was really the heels that "made" the jumpsuit.

While walking around this weekend, my mother-in-law and I spotted a woman wearing a zebra-patterned jumpsuit. Wow! I was impressed by her bold move of wearing such a flamboyant outfit. But...she was wearing moccasins.  As a result, the whole look came off as rather "short", for lack of a better word. 

I searched online for zebra and bright floral jumpsuits and decided that these jumpsuits are truly fabulous, but only when worn with a truly fabulous shoe. Check out some fantastic jumpsuit/heel combinations!
