10 essential shoes for every belle…a shoe fetish friend-1-1

all-weather boot, amazon, animal print, Aquatalia, ballet flat, basic pump, booties, ChristianLouboutin, espadrilles, evening shoe, Gucci, Hunter, indispensible shoes, ivanka Trump, j.crew, Jimmy Choo, Muse Shoe Studio, must-have, nordstrom, pelle Moda, Rag and Bone, rain boot, Sam Edelman, sandal, shoe, Tory Burch, Vanelli, wellie

We’ve been helping a dear belle-friend get her closet in order after three moves and three years of being “unsettled” (poor dear). In the process, we realized that every belle could be reminded of what we deem to be the shoe collection top ten. In other words…the ten pairs of shoes that we couldn’t live without.

If you have ’em all, you’re a savvy belle (or a shoe hoarder…takes one to know one…just sayin’). If you don’t have ’em, we’ve given you some options so that you can fill those holes, pronto!

We started at our favorite local shoe haunt, Muse Shoe Studio, with some picks to fill every belle’s needs…and we’ve added some online options for our far-flung friends…


1. A simple black pump 

Above is an Ivanka Trump design…classic and affordable…available at Muse and Amazon.


And this Christian Louboutin “simple pump” is a high-end no-brainier (its price-per-wear will make it a bargain!)  Find it HERE.

 2. A nude heel

A nude shoe goes with virtually everything…this Corso Como (above) from Muse fits the bill. Also available here.

And the Louboutin “simple pump” also comes in nude…just sayin’ ( at Nordstrom)

 3. An evening heel

Above…this metallic, strappy Pelle Moda from Muse adds a bit of bling to your festivities.

And the Jimmy Choo “Lang” (find it HERE) is another great (albeit more pricey) choice

4. A fun print

From Muse, this Sam Edelman combines two trends that are on-point now…and won’t be “out” anytime soon…animal print and the pointy-toe flat. You can also order it from Amazon.

and we have been long-time fans of the calf-hair, animal-print “Elsie” pump from J Crew. Pretty indispensable in our book!
 5. A ballet flat 

The quintessential staple for any stylish belle, this Vanelli (above) from Muse combines a bit of brown with the basic black for extra versatility .
 We are quite partial to this little  beauty as well….may even have to get it in all three colors!! Order here now for 20%off!!


6. A sneaker/espadrille.

This fashionable flat  from Sam Edelman will keep you chic and comfortable. Stop in for a pair at Muse… Or you can order here.


7. Booties/boots

Muse has an incredible selection in this category!  Wish we could include them all!  This basic bootie combines that of-the-moment shape with a comfortable heel-height and classic black. You can also find it here.

And we’ve touted the comfort and style of Rag and Bone booties before…but we are always willing to get preachy…the “Margot” at Nordstrom won’t let you down.

8. A sleek, all-weather street boot

We’ve sung the praises of Aquatalia boots before, belles…and we will do it again and again!  This “Gael” all-weather riding boot will be a staple till the cows come home! (We’ve been known to wear ours every…single…day while on trips to NYC, Paris, Chicago…). Absolute perfection!


9. A pair of Wellies/rain boots 

For walking the pups in style…or just surviving in this rain-soaked home we used to call the “sunny (hot, muggy) South”, this Sam Edelman bootie from Muse will keep you dry and happy.  You can also order it here.

And the “Original Tall” Hunter boot ( find it here) is a classic…and perfect for entertaining yourself by jumping in puddles (we have experience 😉

10. A neutral sandal

Tory Burch offers great options each year. The Kieran is a favorite of the belles.


And this Gucci “Marmont” stunner…of a sandal will ring belles for years to come

Inventory time, belles!!  Let us know if you have any additions. Wouldn’t want to miss out!

animal print, Dee Keller, Manolo Blahnik, Monkees of the Westend, shoes

Well, ladies, super-belle, Dee Keller, has done it again!! One of our favorite shoes of the summer was one of her brilliant creations…and another one is about to be just as awe-inspiring.

We introduce the “Sheffy” in all it’s gloriousness…

Also available in a beautiful matte gold…you might just need both! For you local belles, one of our fave retail haunts, Monkees can set you up. Our more far-flung belles can check Dee’s site for shops near them or the latest online options. (Hint…Dee says they are available on her website on Monday).

…and if you don’t believe it will be an instant classic…check out this Manolo Blahnik classic from seasons past…

You just can’t go wrong with a classic heel, black, and a pop of wild (as in animal print). Hurry, belles…these sweet babies won’t last long!!
