Tread Brightly in a Pair of Color-Blocked Heels (thefind Guest Post)
From our friends at thefind.com:
If you’re as avid a shopper as I am, chances are you’ve already rounded out your collection of must-have spring footwear, from platform wedge espadrilles to woven flats. You likely also already have your trusty troupe of platform pumps in all the typical neutrals, plus the occasional pop of color like cobalt or coral… to just spice things up. What you probably don’t already have, however, is a pair of color-blocked heels! Color blocking has been ridiculously popular over the past handful of seasons, in the form of springy sundresses, slim banded skirts, and even accessories like scarves and bangles, but they’ve yet to really hit it off in the realm of footwear, despite previous attempts to kick-start the trend.
But realistically, what’s not to love? In a style season where mixed prints and patterns are encouraged, not to mention our obsession with pops of color and unexpected shade combos, color-blocked shoes are just another way to add dimension and stand out among the taupe pumps and nude wedges! If rainbow brights aren’t your thing, avoid these fierce Prada sandals and opt for color-blocked neutrals courtesy of these strappy Chie Maharas. These patent leather Pour la Victoire sandals are the perfect mix of wearable yet bold, while these silver and lime strappy wedges by Jil Sander are a standout take on this season’s platform sandals!

A Birthday Tribute to Fashion Pulse Mom
Fashion Pulse Mom-with Mario Cantone!
Gallivanting around New York Fashion Week, attending movies premieres, fashion events, reviewing products, confiscating freebies, and running a ton of errands for her daughter — it’s not a typical day for a Mom, but could be for Fashion Pulse Mom when she is in New York City visiting me! I have luckily inherited her innate sense of style and penchant for a great bargain, but wouldn’t be who I am today with my Mom. As it is her birthday, and she has made me, and hence Fashion Pulse Daily, what it is, I hope you don’t mind if I give her a little shout out on her special day. There are plenty of gifts I could lavish upon her, and will definitely do a bit of that, however no gift, from a daughter to a mother, is more valuable than one of respect, recognition, and admiration. Thanks Fashion Pulse Mom, for instilling many things in me, more than just a fashion sense, and I am glad to be celebrating your special day with you, as you have always been there for me!
