trend report spring 2013: match your pedi

Anyone else spend WAY too much time deciding what color to paint your nails? Anyone, anyone? I might be alone in this but I decided to make my life a lot easier: just match my toes to my wedges!

All of the above polishes are by Essie, one of my favorite polish brands. 

Aruba Blue is paired with Juicy wedges

Nothing Else Metals is paired with  Charlotte Russe wedges

Peach Daiquiri is paired with Alice + Olivia wedges

Fear of Desire is paired with Dolce Vita Tremor wedges

Bahama Mama is paired with Chloe wedges

Would You.... Wedge Sneakers?

Wedge sneakers have been seen every where lately. I know they might seem intimidating. How do I style them? Can I pull them off? But, think of it this way: it could be the best of both words! You get the comfort and causality of a sneaker but you also get the height of a heel. What do you think? Is it a spring trend you can rock?

** Please forgive me for the quality of this photo. Naturally, I would spend an hour making this collage on my iPad only to upload it and have it be illegible. Oh, well. Ya win some, ya lose some.

Will I rock the wedge sneaker? Possibly. I'll get back to you.  

Flat Line

I've been having a major flats obsession lately. They're versatile and comfortable. They give your outfit a chic casual vibe. I love them best with a pair of rolled up boyfriend jeans or dark skinnys. 

Rachel Bilson for Shoemint

Two things I absolutely adore: shoes & Rachel Bilson! I was so happy when I saw that she was collaborating with Nicole Chavez and Shoemint to design some amazing footwear. Rachel has such a fun style and I'm smitten with the shoes that I've seen already. Check out the behind the scenes video below (& try and tell me it doesn't make you want to become a shoe designer) & then head over to Shoemint before 2/29 and get 20% off your first pair by using discount code: BEAUTY20*
