D.S Pick of the Day: Christian Louboutin “Alta Iowa” Peep-Toe Mary Jane



The shape is pretty much classic Louboutin, but the yummy purple suede is so perfect for fall. If you don’t love the purple, they are also available in a sweet light pink suede and a basic black suede.

Handbag ~ Pick of the Day: Valentino Blossom Rose Bag



The Valentino Blossom Rose Bag is the perfect example of subtle touches of a floral design on a light leather looking classic and sophisticated. My only real qualm with this handbag is the gold snake skin trim on the handles. It looks a little cheap and really kills this bag being a 100% divine hit for me. I would have preferred tonal leather handles. The eye catcher, the front pleated into a rosette, really is alluring. While this bag is available in black, it does not showcase the rosette as well, so I would definitely opt for pink. Buy both the black and pink version at Saks for $1895.

Handbag ~ Pick of the Day: Jimmy Choo Mona Large Tote: Fab or Drab?



I have chosen not to pass judgment on this bag, rather let you all make the decision. We all know the Jimmy Choo Ramona, Mahala, and Clutch have garnered a following. But what about this Mona? The Jimmy Choo Mona Large Tote features a black leather and suede body with gold hardware. The tote sports a zip fastening around the middle, which makes this bag act as an accordion, being able to lengthen or compact at the middle. By undoing the central zip, the bag becomes larger and will expose the logo plaque. The inside is lined in suede and has lilac ribbon trim. Buy through Net A Porter for $1,995.

D.S Pick of the Day: Sergio Rossi Leather Over-the-Knee Boot




Sergio Rossi boot is so beautiful and luxurious, and I love the thin 4-inch heel. I also like the cut-away detail on the top of this boot. I would think it would make walking a little bit easier, since your knee will have a little bit more room to move.

I am so ready for fall, so that I can wear boots again! I would pair these boots over skinny jeans or wear them with dresses or skirts. They will look especially beautiful with creams and browns. If you’re worried about a bulky jean under these boots, try these amazing Current-Elliott legging jeans!

D.S Pick of the Day: Chloe Tied Leather Over-the-Knee Boot



The sweltering heat and humidity where I live continues to make me desperate for cool fall weather, and it’s only the beginning of June!! I have no idea how I’m going to stand it for several more months. But, today I’m going to dream of cooler weather, and we’re going to talk about boots! Even if the weather wasn’t so horrendous, I would be ready for fall with all of the gorgeous boots I’ve seen lately. First up is this amazing Chloe over-the-knee boot.

Besides the gorgeous, luxurious calf leather, the stand-out feature on this boot is the leather crisscross tie detail. It really does look amazing running up the boot and finishing in an imperfect bow. I like that these boots are flat because it makes them a little more wearable and versatile. And really it will depend on how you pair them whether they are dressy or not, but unlike some boots with high heels, you can dress these down. They will look fabulous over skinny jeans with a simple shirt or a sweater when it gets colder for a casual look or put them on with a top or jacket with a little more structure and you can wear them to work (if you work somewhere where jeans are allowed). I’d also pair them with skirts or dresses and tights. Basically you can’t go wrong with these boots, and they will instantly transform even the most boring outfit making it effortlessly chic!

Kim K's Blog: My Friday Night in Fresno



Last night I went to Fresno! My cousins Krista and Kara live there and I was so excited to see them. I brought Jonathan along for a good laugh! He literally can make me laugh no matter what we are doing! Bob Shapiro and Brian Lee along with the whole Shoe Dazzle team chartered an amazing plane and we headed out to Fresno! We went to a new club opening called Edge and it was beautiful! So many people came out to support! Shoe Dazzle sponsored the party and so did the Brent Shapiro Foundation, for drug and alcohol abuse. The proceeds for the night went to the foundation, which made the night even more that special. If you guys haven't checked out ShoeDazzle.com, you've got to see all of the new styles!

After my fitness DVD's Fit In Your Jeans by Friday, I am so into health and fitness and trying to learn everything I can about how to look and feel my best! I will give u guys more info as the product is ready to launch!


Handbag ~ Pick of the Day: Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Bellevue PM



The Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Bellevue PM sports triangular sides on the new Violette color. The vernis is monogram embossed patent leather and is accented with natural cowhide trim.

The nameplate on the front of the bag spotlights the Old English Louis Vuitton signature. Having a zip top closure, this handbag becomes perfect to carry an array of things without worrying about anything falling out. Dimensions are 14.8″x 8.9″x 7″. Buy through eLuxury for $760.

Handbag ~ Pick of the Day: Louis Vuitton Damier Berkeley



To friends of the Speedy, there is now a slightly flashier sibling called the Louis Vuitton Damier Berkeley. Its name is derived from a chic London neighborhood, the Berkeley Square. The materials are common to other Damier canvas bags, smooth leather trim, a red micro suede lining and a golden “Louis Vuitton Inventeur” plaque on the front complete the picture. Its handles are adjustable in length, two side outside pockets offer additional storage room for cellphone or keys. With 12.4″ in width, it is only .4 inches wider than the Speedy and .7 inches taller. Granted, at $1,420 it is twice as expensive as the Damier Speedy, I still think that this bag will capture a large following among LV enthusiasts. Available in Damier or Damier Azure.

D.S Pick of the Day: Stuart Weitzman Over-the-Knee Tubular Suede Boot



These boots are incredibly sexy. I love the yummy black suede and the 5-inch heel. These are the boots you wear to add some va va voom to an outfit. They’ll look equally amazing over dark denim with a hot top or skirts and dresses over tights. And the best part is you can wear these amazing boots for less than $600, which is much less than most of the boots we’ll see this season!

D.S Pick of the Day: Christian Louboutin Button-Up Over-the-Knee Boot



I will admit that while these boots are fabulous, they are not for me. The button-up detail is what makes these boots so amazing and definitely a throw-back to the Victorian era, but can you imagine how long it would take to get these on? You’d still get the amazing Victorian look, with a little less effort! If you do love the over-the-knee version, though, go for it! These boots are definitely statement making, and all eyes will be on you and your fabulous style! I’d pair them over dark denim or with a fabulous black dress and tights.
