Booties For Summer

Summer may be hot and many will be sweating because of the temperature and humidity. Clothes are lighter and the same goes to what shoes to wear for summer.

Summer will be the right time to wear those strappy sandals, flip flops and peep toes. However, did you know that even your booties can be worn during the hot summer months? And why not? There are some booties that have openings on the side, perforations that allow air to circulate, and even peep toe style to let your feet breath. Those types of booties will be a perfect hit even on the hottest summer months!

So, take out those cute booties you have in the closet and wear them. Make them ready to transition to the coming fall!

Below booties are just few of the styles you can wear even on summer. So, don't limit your booties during winter and fall and wear them well with your favourite casual get up, and even those summery dresses. You look fab!

Fall and Winter Essentials: Style Guide

Summer days are finally behind us, which means that you will have to clean up your wardrobe and make room for your favourite sweaters, scarves and coats. Fall and winter are indeed very inspirational, simply because you are doing your best to make those gloomy days at least slightly bearable. Here are five fashion trends that will cheer you up in these cold months, so check them out.

1.     Cool Culottes





Culottes are definitely this season’s IT pants, perfect for unpredictable fall weather. Their flattering hemline and versatile shape offer you infinite possibilities for combining. Even though many people think that these are awkward and hard to combine, culottes are actually pretty chic and glamorous – which is why they are a must-have for this season. Balance the wide-leg silhouette with a pair of fabulous stilettos, and your outfit will be a true representative of high-street fashion.


2.     Oversized Sweaters





Sweater weather has finally arrived, which means that it is a perfect time for snuggling your head onto your favourite piece of clothing. Oversized sweaters are perfect for fall as well for winter, and there are many reasons for this claim. Especially those with turtleneck will make you feel warm and cosy, even though you are not a fan of this particular shape. If you think that you will look too bulky – don’t worry – just choose the one with a slightly thinner knit.


3.     Statement Jewellery





Bling is back this season, and that’s really great news. Signature rings and chunky stones look perfect when combined with aforementioned oversized sweaters. Feminine and sparkly jewellery in Marsala color is absolutely your go-to choice for any outfit. Brooches and big earrings were introduced as must-have pieces for this fall by haute couture brands such as Prada, Balenciaga and Chanel. A pair of boho earrings that come fringed or tasseled will add a touch of glamour to your everyday look. These earrings are definitely a proof that glitz has made a huge comeback.


4.     Ethnic Influence





This ultimate fashion trend for fall and winter is an extraordinary mixture of complex patterns and vibrant colours, combined together with leather, fringes and marvelous embroidery. Numerous designers are drawing their inspiration from the exotic cultures of Asia and Africa, which results in amazing collections that can be considered as masterpieces. These amazing items can be combined in a wide range of ways, and you could wear them to a business meeting as well as to a lunch with friends. Depending on the occasion, combine them with basics such as jeans or classical trousers and a simple shirt. Fashion trends inspired by India are particularly eye-catching, because they represent the unique tradition of this Asian country, adjusting it to the world of fashion.


5.     Fur Meets Leather Shoes





Leather footwear with fur detail is a major hit this season, since many designers have gone crazy about this latest trend. From fur lined slippers and pointed toe pumps, to ankle booties completely covered in fur - there is no fashionista in this world who would not wear them. They provide a perfect amount of texture to every look, and add a touch of extravaganza to it. These will absolutely make you the center of attention wherever you show up. However, be careful. Just make sure that you are not combining them with another furry piece. Only one fur accent per look is more than enough. After all, you surely don’t want to look ridiculous. Also, it does not matter if you're wearing faux-fur. There's certainly nothing wrong with that. 


As you can see, there are various go-to fashion trends that are popular this season. The choice is totally up to you – choose whatever you feel comfortable in, depending on your personal style and preferences. What is certainly sure is that fashion is all about playing and having fun, which is why you have to enjoy and take it to the next level. That’s a key to success.

Sofft Barbourne Leather Boots Review

** This post was taken from my beauty blog which I have closed few months ago. Reposting...


sofftboots

I featured my warm boots few weeks ago before I did a "road test" in NYC's winter scene last Feb. 7-10. I think I also said in that post that I would give a feedback about the Sofft Barbourne leather boots once I try the boots in the real winter scene.

I can happily say that it lived up to my expectation. Below are my findings:
  • It kept my legs warm (up to where the boots were).
  • It may look very imposing and bulky but it's light to wear.
  • It is very comfortable and I am amazed how soft the interior leather lining is.
  • It looks so nice!
I can say that my purchase is really worth it. It really can stand the harsh cold.

OOFOS OOCloog for Women Review + Discount Code





Happy and comfortable feet. Those are what I want my feet to feel when I am walking great distance especially during our travels.  You can't blame me for being fussy with footwear because I am flat-footed and I seriously need an arch support in all my shoes and also flip flops! Now, even choosing for the right footwear can be a bit daunting because sometimes, I will find the one that I like but it's too heavy on my feet. And there are times, I will try something that gives me that arch support but it comes with a hefty price tag. Finding the right one just don't come easy for my choosy feet.

Good thing there are still good brands of footwear out there to fulfill my ever-discerning feet. OOFOS is the answer to my flat-foot condition.  What is OOFOS, you might ask. Here's what it's all about and its plus factors.





What I like:
  • OOFOS is a brand of footwear using the OOfoam technology combined with footbed design.
  • It is not just a clogs. It is a recovery footwear which has 37% shock absorption capacity than other foam material.
  • The OOFoam disperses the body's weight to the sides of the clogs rather than coming back to your body.
  • It is a great footwear to use after recovery from rigorous athletic activities.
  • It has a well-designed massaging footbed.
  • It is a durable footwear. It can withstand even heavyweights and has a long-lasting cushioning and support.
  • The soles have anti-slip pattern so you can use it even on wet surface or during rainy season.
  • The OOcloog have ventilation on the side allowing air to circulate inside.
  • It has arch-support for all foot-types.
  • Lightweight and super flexible. I feel like walking using marshmallow clogs!
  • It is also machine washable.
  • Made in Korea





What I don't like:
I only have few suggestions to the manufacturer - make more styles using their OOfoam technology and I hope there are more colors to choose from in the OOCloog line. I did not fancy the limited choice of colors for this model (black and plum). I just hope there were more colors to choose from.


Price: $49.95


Here's short (amateur) video of how wonderful this OOFOS OOCloog is! Watch it...



(Video edited by my daughter)


And because this very "oosome" clogs are perfect for my day-to-day activities, even to my long walks and travels, I highly recommend this footwear. It's like walking with a marshmallow-covered footwear. They are just so soft and "oowesomely" flexible. Your feet will surely be happy!


The generous people behind this ultra-comfy OOcloog are happy to give you this discount in your shipping cost when you purchase any of their durable footwear. Just type the code below during checkout at the OOFOS online store:



CREWnorth


(Discount is valid for use in US only)



I can certainly #feeltheOO in this "oowesome" OOcloogs! You'll say "oo" with every step! 



My recommendation:
A big yes! I finally found a footwear that can give my flat feet a much needed comfort wth the help of the arch support and the soft, cushiony feature this OOFOS OOCloog have. !



I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
