6 Black Shoes You NEED

Sure, to your boyfriend these are all "black shoes" and could most likely be used interchangeably. We all know that's the furthest thing from the truth. These are just six basic black shoes we all need in our closet just merely to survive. Sounds dramatic but it's totally rational (to me). Don't worry, I've found the absolute musts of the basic black babies.

Happy Houndstooth and New Year

I recall, and might I add...very clearly...disliked houndstooth when I was a little girl. But, as my mother always told me, things are cyclical. And just like that...houndstooth is back and cuter than ever. This dress (from Target...get out, right?) is thick enough for a true northern winter outfit or worn alone for a southern "winter" day of 75 degrees. I paired this fab find with black tights, black pumps, a crisp white button up top and a tassel necklace. And of course, I topped off this outfit with red lips (NYX matte lip color). I'd suggest snagging this dress while it's available!

Fuchsia Fresh

Typically when I'm out and about shopping, I'm wearing whatever is comfortable and for the most part, presentable. However, sometimes you need to just have a little fun with your outfit, even if going to cause you world's worst blisters...
These suede fuchsia pumps, from Zara, are my everything. Sure, they are undeniably impractical. But...most importantly...they are princessy and perfect.

Daily Fashion Find

These Messeca Sasha haircalf pumps are phenomenal. I love the dimension they have with the two different fabrics but the gold section is what I really fell in love with. Per-fection.

Leather Legs

At the Sara Evan's concert last night with my girlfriends, we all couldn't stop talking about one thing: how amazing Sara's legs looked in her leather pants. So...of course, now all I can think about is how I need a pair of leather pants. Maybe then, my legs will look as phenomenal as Sara's. For this outfit: ACNE 'Best' Skinny Leather Trousers, T by Alexander Wang Silk Georgette Blouse, Sasha Suede Pump by J.Crew, Moran Porat Jewelry - The Royal Necklace, Z Spoke Zac Posen Americana Mini - Purse, TARTE Liquid Emphaseyes Liquid Eyeliner 

Bad to the Bone

It's Gwen Stefani meets the new Miley. It's Rihanna meets Fergie. It's bad girl meets fashionista. It's not a coincidence that these pants look like a prison jumpsuit. I want this outfit. Actually, I need this outfit. Bad to the bone.
