Spring is just around the corner, and fashion followers everywhere will be searching for that perfect pair of shoes to wear with all their warm weather pieces.
From killer clogs to feminine flats and 70's style wedges, there is an amazing array of choices. One of the true stand-outs and a personal favorite of the girls at the Hive happens to be the ankle boot!
The bootie has gained major popularity and is truly becoming a season-less shoe. One of our very favorites is the Ferris We Who See Suede Ankle Bootie. This Victorian inspired bootie features a ruffled ankle band, lace-up front and slight 1.5 inch wooden wedge. This pretty pair will look fantastic with the flowing floral skirts and dress seen floating down spring's runways, as well as 70's flared denim and billowy blouses.
Where to Buy - Need Supply
Price - $27.99 (They were $105.00!)
Who - Melimeli was the first to add the 'Ferris We Who See Suede Ankle Bootie' to the Hive
New York Fashion Week F/W 2010: Richard Chai

While vibrant colors and saturated shades are having their moment, Richard Chai brought it back to industrial chic for Fall/ Winter 2010. Think edgy grunge meets uptown chic with contrasting layers and varying fabrics swathed in a nonchalantly stylish way. A color palette of soft and deep greys and blacks were subtly interjected with muted olive greens and dusky dark blues while sheer, fluid ruffles and drapes were layered over unique basics. Styles featured anything from wool jackets and blazers to flowing dresses and tops, all over sized. Monochromatic layered basics that may well have been stolen from the boyfriend's closet were worn in a conservative manner, and fitted corset designs were paired with looser fitting, sleeved garments. A juxtaposition of styles, with knit arm warmers complimenting thick, luxe cropped furs all done in grey and dark tones, summed up this relaxed but structured hobo-chic collection.
