    8 Bandage Booties And Pumps That'll Have Your Feet Under Wraps!

    image
    Alex Gambardella on Nov 3, 2009 4:22 PM PST
    Sure, it's always sad to see a once-hot trend overstay its welcome, but the good news is that some of our favorite styles don't necessarily leave the racks forever -- they just migrate to another department! What the Herve Leger bandage dress (or its more affordable counterparts) did for the body, the bandage bootie does for the feet (well, sort of). We won't go as far as describing the footwear trend as "feet-con" in the spirit of "body-con," but the thick-strapped look is similarly sexy in its banded, wrapped-up appearance. Put a sexy spin on the classic Mary Jane with this banded suede pump by Acne, or go strappy (and save!) with a multi-textured gladiator-style heel from Forever 21. Take a look at the slideshow for 8 varied takes on the bandage heel!

    Modern Footwear Meets Urban Romance With 80%20 Shoes At ...

    The new 80%20 Shoes fall collection has just landed at Karmaloop.com! Designer and owner CeCe Chin first conceived the New York-based label in 2004, when she came up with the concept that 80% of the time we tend to wear our favorite 20% of our wardrobe. The smallest percent has the greatest impact. 80% life, 20% shoes = 100% LOVE! Genius, right? The new collection yields nothing short of stylish and chic footwear. Chin found inspiration in the urban romance and creative vision prevalent in the early 80s, particularly in NYC. Strength and femininity are pervading themes throughout the collection, as she updates her signature hidden wedges with cut outs, buckles and chains. Classic references are also drawn with bridle leather, buffalo check patterns and neutral color palettes. The complete collection presents itself as the footwear for a modern city warrior, arming herself with creativity, functional style and optimism for possibilities to come! My favorite picks are the Ruby Gathered Hidden Wedge Boot, the Zoey Geisha Gladiator Wooden Wedge and the Bobbie Gathered Hidden Wedge Boot. Click "See Video" to watch women's buyer Jessica Perez's rundown of the collection, then check the slideshow for some of the styles available at Karmaloop!

    Levi's is our go-to source for the best fitting jeans. They have recently launched the "Swank" style ($150.00) which is a great versatile boot cut in a medium blue wash. The Swank jean by Levi's will take you from Friday at work to dinner to a party. We here at Haute Mimi chose a few pieces to compliment these fabulous jeans with an exotic twist, our specialty here at HM. Oh and recessionistas rest assured, this whole outfit is under $300.00.


    Top: tunic via TopShop, $55.00 We love this tunic because of the detailing at the neck and the flowy cut, which will sit well against any figure.

    Bag: clutch via TopShop, $50.00 Add a dash of glamour with this amazing snakeskin clutch. Wear it with this outfit and practically any other.

    Shoes: wedges via Chinese Laundry, $50.00 Not only will these gorgeous wedges give you mile long legs (a must have with jeans), tey'll will also be comfortable all day long.

    The Shoe Of The Summer (And Beyond)

    We're all about getting the most out of our money these days. Why carry around an iPod and a phone when you can get an iPhone? And I've also gotten in the habit choosing handbags that are suitable for work and the weekend. So it comes to no surprise that we should be able to wear your shoes all year 'round too! A strappy wedge is the perfect shoe to take you from spring to summer and on to fall. The sturdy wedge makes them comfortable for everyday wear, and the strappy details can work for day or night. We just bought the Aldo pair (they're on sale!) and they're perfection. And if you're up for a splurge, don't forget this similar style by Chloe! Wear the shoes with your summer dresses and just add tights and other layers when the weather gets cooler. For more shopping ideas and steals, check out our friends at Shop Therapy!

    What to Wear: After Work Cocktails!

    Your co-workers make a plan to go out for drinks after work later in the week to celebrate finishing the most recent big project. Fun! There are a couple key rules for these events: 1) don't drink like a frat boy and 2) don't show too much skin! It's important to maintain a professional demeanor, but still, looking cute and fun for your night out is a must! You'll need an outfit that can transition with just a few quick accessory changes. For instance, if you start with the BR Monogram Collection tulip dress with a sweater for day, then you can easily do a shoe change for heels and make it a classy evening look. Ditch your day purse for a cute and shiny clutch like this Nordstrom square stone silk clutch. If all else fails, just switch your work-appropriate shoes for some sassy wedges like these wave pattern wedges from Anthropologie! Check out my slideshow for other after-work cocktail looks!

    I'm kinda, sorta really addicted to shoes. I base my outfits around what shoes I want to wear that day. I'll skip lunch for a week to justify those awesome pumps that I have recently added to my collection. Discovering Marais USA can be likened to finding a new type of the same drug, upping the shoe addiction ante. It's a sickness and I love it! Marais USA is based out of New York and designed and run by 2 ambitious young women in their early 20's. Marais USA sells anything from flats to sandals to wedges. When the designers couldn't find a variety of cute, versatile and chic daytime shoes, they made some themselves! The flats are elegant, the sandals are feminine and the heels are cute and practical. These simple and classic designs come in a whole spectrum of colors from basic black to eye-popping red and many in between. To top it all off, Marais USA is practical on the wallet too! All the shoes are made of either suede or patent leather, making them comfortable and luxurious and they start out at only $52 and all under $80! So for stylish, versatile shoes that boast comfort and long wear, check out Marais USA online and find your favorite style and color today!


    Price: $52 - $72
    Who Found It: idabone was first to add Cute Shoes from Marais USA to the Hive.
