Don’t ask me why my mother had me wearing clogs when I was in 3rd grade, but if you had asked my far-less-stylish self back then (or maybe just extremely fashion-forward self) if I thought the shoes I was rockin’ would become cool again within the next 2 decades, I would have thought you were crazy. Leave it to the unpredictability of fashion trends to prove me wrong, because modernized clogs have been having quite the moment for the past year or so. And despite their clunky, chunky stereotype, they’ve proven to be surprisingly versatile to suit the passing seasons. Aside from the classic silhouette, clog booties tore it up during the fall and winter, and now clog-inspired sandals are coming on the scene to sweep up the espadrille competition. Slightly dressier than straw wedges but still undeniably summery and casual-cool, clog sandals are on-trend without being ostentatious or wardrobe-limiting — they go with almost anything!

Nude pumps have been a hot-ticket item for awhile now, and still don’t seem to be letting up anytime soon. Not only do they go with nearly any outfit, but their ability to elongate the look of your legs is pretty priceless — it’s no wonder the neutral-hued shoe hasn’t become just a passing fad. However, like any popular trend that sticks around, it’s bound to endure its share of seasonal updates in order to keep it fresh and appropriate, and I have to say I’m in love with this season’s nude platform wedges. Think of it as the spring and summer update to both the platform wedge bootie and the nude pump — these sky-high instant gam-boosters are destined to become your new favorite footwear staple! Go for a sort of pump-sandal hybrid with these Jimmy Choo patent peeptoe espadrilles, or look forward to summer with some pretty wedge sandals with metallic details like this Jil Sander pair. Thick strappy sandals are super-hot for the warmer weather ahead, so take these Dolce Vita Pela Wedges or B. Makowsky Doogie Sandals for a test run. But if you’re not ready to say ‘bye’ to the bootie, go for a springy suede pair like these Seychelles ‘Eye to Eye’ Wedges which sport cut-outs for a little extra breathability!

When it comes to planning your perfect party outfit for the holiday season, making a statement is key. You may think you have the head-turning impact down pretty well with that trendy cocktail dress or sleek pencil skirt and sequined top, but let’s face it — no special occasion ensemble is complete without a pair of seriously chic shoes. In fact, I’m all for planning your outfit around some stellar heels as long as they don’t fail to bring the “wow” factor — and this season is no time to be shy when it comes to statement-making shoes!

Go for something slinky and snaky like these shimmery-detailed strappy Jimmy Choo “Feline” sandals (black and blue never looked so sultry!), or walk on the really wild side with a pair of leopard print bandage sandals by Emilio Pucci, which can make even the most understated LBD look ridiculously fierce! To add some much-needed glitz to an otherwise matte outfit, a pair of glittery platform sandals like these by Diane von Furstenberg are fun and festive without overpowering your cocktail dress of choice. However, if you prefer to stick to your tried-and-true platform pump, put a spin on the classic look with an unexpected pop of color like bright fuchsia, courtesy of YSL!

As a tribute to the new fall season which is flowing into stores as we speak, the leopard print accessory is on the prowl again. Love ‘em or hate ‘em leopard print is the trend that seems to return with out fail. If used sparingly leopard print handbags add some graphic interest to your favorite LBD or all black ensemble. The Jimmy Choo Mandah hobo bag is patched with solid leather which diffuses the leopard print to prevent leopard print overload. Look for graphic batik or faded leopard prints which pair rather nicely with denim such as the Lauren Merkin ‘Eve’ clutch.

Shown here are some picks for leopard print handbags (from top to bottom):

Christian Louboutin Leopard-Print Pony Fur Clutch – Leopard, $940.00 at Saks.com
Yves Saint Laurent Palma Leopard Print Canvas Tote, $599.99, at Overstock.com
Jimmy Choo Mandah hobo bag, $3,495 at Net-a-Porter
Lauren Merkin Eve Leopard Print Fabric Clutch, $165 at Bloomingdales.com
Anya Hindmarch Leopard Print Clutch by, $172.00 at Vivre
Yves Saint Laurent Muse Two bag, $2,295 at Net-a-Porter
