MULES, MULES, MULES!

The gigantic shoe craze at the moment is the (either fabulous or...NOT so fabulous) MULE! I've mentioned before that I was never a huge mule fan, but I've learned and grown to embrace the MULE (caps needed). I've seen fabulous mules that basically converted my way of thinking, and I've seen ones that made me want to grab the nearest trash bin. Maybe that's a tad harsh, but there's no time to be shy here.

With the topic of mules (visually EVERYWHERE), I've came to the conclusion that mules are fabulous. I actually have two pairs of Gucci mules that were purchased about 8 or 9 years ago (circa Tom Ford for Gucci) and granted I was a early teen and I've only worn them less than a handful of times. Believe it or not, but my first designer shoe happen to be these fabulous Gucci suede buckle mules. I can sense the eyebrow reaction from you, and yes I'll say it again. SUEDE BUCKLE MULES, and may I add WOOD shoes. My parents got these for me when we were in Las Vegas when I was 15 and these were not only my first designer shoes EVER, but they were my first pair of heels EVER. So a lot of "EVER" happening on that day, and I'm going to be honest I haven't been in love with them until this day. It's odd that a pair of shoes that were purchased almost a decade ago was under appreciated until now. Since these shoes are still alive and kicking, I decided to give a debut in a fabulous way.

THE MULES



I'm going to be honest, growing up I wasn't a huge mule fan. My mom, time after time would rack up her shoe bills with mules on top of mules and on top of MORE mules. It was her go to shoe and don't get me wrong, she looked absolutely fabulous in them. Me on the other hand, not so much. 

Some how my outlook on mules suddenly changed and they're growing on me. I actually want to buy them! Granted I do have two pairs of fabulous Gucci mules when I was in high school and I still have them, but there's nothing like a fresh pointed toe mule to kick in my new craze. These mule babes are written down on the wishlist books and I think they're absolutely delightful!

MENS FOOTWEAR ON THE LADIES


I do love me a great pair of shoes, and I love it even MORE if it's comfortable with an intense level of chicness! It's a complete win-win situation. These photos are presented to inspire us for the upcoming season, even though the photo of Nicole Richie was in St. Tropez last month she rocked those Saint Laurent shoes like it was winter! I think these bad boys are going to be my go-to shoes this fall. Rolled up skinnies and comfortable footwear is something to bow down to and thank the fashion gods (that's right, you heard me!) . Like I said, it's a definite win-win! 



Here are some great shoes to shop for the chilly season:

Duccio Venturi Double monk strap leather brogues
Rupert Sanderson Zohra leather loafers
Alexander Wang Ingrid Oxford (ON SALE!)
Paul Smith loafer
Saint Laurent Bi-colour perforated brogues (on Nicole Richie)

When in doubt, suit it! I created this suit pick so you could create your own buzz. This is what you call a power suit (for the ladies). Power color, power accessories & power confidence when you wear an outfit like this. It's classic with a twist of fun colors and edgy accessories to make it more assessable and fun. You could wear this outfit practically anywhere and at anytime. It's practical for work, day shopping, grabbing lunch with the girls, or even at night getting cocktails & dinner. It's versatile, just like how everything in your closet should be.
