This past week I was able to check out the latest styles from Aerosoles for the upcoming spring collection at the lovely Blow Bar Meat Packing District location, which meant three things: blow outs, manicures, and new shoes — what’s not to love? Already in stores and online, you can begin to think about days where the temperatures breaches above 60 degrees, which may just be right around the corner, or get yourself a pair of new sandals and book a tropical getaway to stave off the warm-weather cravings. As an Aerosoles brand ambassador, I am so fortunate to try out some of these styles first-hand and share with you my edits on the most comfortable, stylish, and affordable shoes around. See above for my top picks, including the Plush Money Wedge, Wide Awake Peep-Toe Pump, and the Solitaire Canvas Espadrille!

Rodney Cutler for THE SALON at ULTA, alongside ULTA Beauty stylists, went with a younger aesthetic for Tadashi‘s fall 2013 gorgeous evening wear, working with dry textures as well as some hair braiding away to the side underneath to keep the look a little less ‘put together’ and recalling a concept of ‘distressed glamour.’ He used one of my favorite products, the Redken Power Grip 03 to tease the roots and get great volume.
