Shoe Paparazzi

Liv Tyler was out and about with her son Milo in New York City. Even though Liv is extremely casual here, she still looks a little trendy with her trench coat and leopard print shoulder bag.

Just because you aren’t going to work or a special event doesn’t mean you should just throw on any old pair of shoes. An adorable casual shoe can pull together a look. Busy moms on the go are always looking for comfortable shoes that are also styish.

Liv wears a cute pair of simple blue sneakers. She also could have chosen a colorful canvas skimmer to finish off her look.
Now that the cold weather is starting to fade (in most places), women have a lot more options in casual shoes. Embellished thongs and flat gladiator sandals will be popular throughout the spring and summer this year.

These types of shoes can be worn with just about anything - from jeans to shorts to a summery dress. Choose metallics, floral prints and fun patent leather sandals for a comfortable yet chic style.

Lindsay Lohan was dressed casually for her pricey lunch at La Scala in Beverly Hills earlier this week. Even dressed casually, she looks pretty cute with her jeans and scarf. Though the combination is a little odd.

Does she really need a big scarf and a sweater, if she’s just going to strut around in a sleeveless top? The weather in L.A. doesn’t change that drastically.

Anyway, let’s talk more about her look. The scarf is cute but it’s really big and long. The highlight of her outfit is her shoes.

Leopard print flats add a little flavor to the rest of her outfit. Through the spring, we are going to continue to see lots of leopard shoes, including flats, pumps and sandals.

Lindsay Lohan seems to be almost falling down from the weight of her bags while shopping in Los Angeles. If she’s not on her way to the airport, she really shouldn’t be carrying this many bags. (And even then, maybe she should just pay someone to carry them for her.)

Lindsay looks casual yet cute with her long sweater over leggings. What really makes her outfit standout is her leopard print shoes.

Leopard flats are extremely popular right now as animal prints are everywhere from hats to handbags (and of course shoes). Wearing print shoes and accessories is a great way to get a little wild without the prints being overwhelming like they might be in a dress or top.

In addition to leopard ballet flats, also consider leopard pumps and other animal print heels. They can be worn with the most casual outfit or even with glamorous evening wear.

Tired of always wearing black?

Jewel-tone colors from emerald green to ruby red are extremely fashionable this season. Whether you are attending an A-list event like Beyonce (who is pictured here in this fabulous mermaid cut number) or heading to your company Christmas party, jewel-tones are the way to go.

Unfortunately, all of us don’t have the confidence (or the body) to pull off some of the designer fashions that we see on the runway and red carpet. Many women fall into the rut of sticking with neutrals, particularly black.

If you want to wear radiant jewel-tone colors this season but can’t quite do it, start out small with shoes and accessories.

Begin by adding a pair of green patent flats to your wardrobe. Green flats would look great with a black pantsuit, grey mini-dress with tights, or even with a chocolate brown sweater dress.

Next pick up a fabulous handbag. A green satchel or ruby red clutch are perfect around the holidays.

Once you start getting used to having a little color in your wardrobe, you’ll actually find your like it.

Next thing you know, you’ll be asking Beyonce to borrow her mermaid dress!
