Perfect Party Dress Sandal: Nina Elga

Posted by kim on February 15, 2010

I believe that the most important party dress accessories are your shoes. Some may argue that it’s your jewelry, but I think most stylists will agree with the shoes.  And I found the perfect pair of party pumps!

The Nina Elga combines simplicity with a trendy touch. It’s a sleek satin pump with an open toe and a strap around the ankle that adjusts with a buckle. A t-shape is created with the addition of a matching ruffle, stretching from the ankle to the toe. A great addition to this classic shoe.

The Nina Elga Satin Pumps have a 4 1/4″ inch heel height and come in a variety of colors including Black Luster Satin (shown), Chocolate Luster Satin, Ivory Luster Satin, New Navy Luster Satin, Powder Sand Luster Satin, Red Rouge Luster Satin, Steel Luster Satin, White Luster Satin. With that many colors to choose from, you’re bound to match almost any party dress perfectly!

You can purchase your own Nina Elga Satin Pumps directly from ShoeBuy.com for $82.95 with Free Shipping.  According to the site, this particular style tends to run narrow. If you have a wide foot, for an accurate fit, they recommend ordering a half  size larger than what you would typically order. If by chance, they don’t fit ShoeBuy also offers Free Return Shipping, so you have nothing to lose!

Party on!

Red Hot Shoes for Fall

Posted by kim on August 25, 2009

Today marks the 70th anniversary of “The Wizard of Oz”* where Judy Garland as Dorothy wore the infamous ruby red slippers. The New York Post wrote an article on how to follow Dorothy’s lead in a pair of “Red-Hot Shoes for Fall” (thanks for the link, Wayne).

Crimson is the perfect accent to autumn’s peacock-hued palette, but if black-and-white is more your thing, these red treads are a great pop of color against fall’s perennially stylish neutrals. ~ Rebecca Daly
