Add a Pop of Color With a Bright Skinny Belt! (thefind Guest Post)
From our friends at thefind.com:
Are you feeling a little ‘meh’ towards your wardrobe lately? Don’t fret – an entire new wardrobe isn’t the only answer, and your wallet doesn’t necessarily have to suffer in order to instill a little excitement into a seasonal style that’s going downhill. You’d be surprised at how much a simple accessory like a bright belt can add all-new structure, color, and style to an otherwise ‘blah’ old outfit! A skinny belt helps provide flattering shape in a way that doesn’t overpower your entire ensemble, but instead breathes new life into it – adding a fun dash of color that you can use to tie in coordinating accessories like shoes, bags, and even matching nail polish. From shiny neon patent to studs, bows, and textured calf-hair or braided rope styles, the possibilities are nearly endless, depending on the look you’re going for! Either way, you’ll be pleased at how much a belt can change your look – it’s a cinch!

Miu Miu’s Glitter Loafers Have Arrived…Whip Out Your Plastic!
[Miu Miu Glitter Loafers,available in Blue or Pyrite, $495]
Summer’s wedges and sandals have been rather kind to our feet, but there’s nothing like the boy-meets-girl loafer, come fall 2012. Need a little more glitz? Look no further than Miu Miu‘s glittered footwear options, which will certainly spice up the boy meets girl aesthetic of the traditional loafer style! Complete with a trendy tassel, these shoes are the modern (but no less magical) version of Dorothy’s red heels. Below are some additional favorites from Prada’s little sister brand, Miu Miu:
[Glitter and Suede Peep Toe Ankle Boots, were $890, now $623, via Net-A-Porter.com]
[Glitter Sneaker, $495, via NeimanMarcus.com]
Miu Miu is not a rookie in the glitter scene. The brand has been known to deck out sandals, heels, boots, and even sneakers. Each pair, pictured above, has its own avant-garde imagination fit for a shoe queen. The loafers, I believe, are a bit more toned down, if sparkle can ever be described as toned down, that is.

Not a glitter girl? Why not try the divine patent or python printed skin iterations? It’s nearly impossible not to have these on your wish list, lust list, can’t-breathe-until-these-are-in-my-closet list, and whatever other list you have. Available now at Miu Miu!
