H.H. Brown Shoe Co’s Upcoming Offerings

[FPD’s favorite selections for the upcoming spring 2012 season from from Born, Born Crown, Isola, and Walkover Shoes]

There’s nothing like building your desire for shoes almost a year before they hit stores! I went to the H.H. Brown Shoe Co. FFANY Festival (Fashion Footwear Association of New York, a trade shoe expo), which concluded with an awesome party, a serenade by the original cast of Jersey Boys, and of course, amazing shoes! Stay tuned for super-fresh colorways, new interesting silhouettes, and of course, great fit and quality. Here’s a peek of some of my absolute favorites, and I’m super excited about the launch of the Walkover Shoes women’s collection.

The Isola Oasis Wedge In South Beach

You may recall the “Pick My Isola South Beach Shoes” giveaway, about three weeks ago, with the winning style being the Oasis Wedge. Thanks to all of you who weighed in, as this wedge was absolutely PERFECT for walking around South Beach! I literally walked miles in them, and loved the textured pattern in ivory, as it was just made for the constantly warm South Florida weather. I had to ditch the previously worn fishnet tights, as I really didn’t need them in 90 degree weather. If you are digging these sandals, check out what else Isola has to offer for the spring/summer season.

Pick My South Beach Shoes, & Win a Pair for Yourself Courtesy of Isola!

by Julia DiNardo

Fashion Pulse Daily readers, I need your help (and there’s something in it for you too)! Here’s the deal: I’m heading to South Beach in April, for the very first time with my best friend for a girl’s getaway. The dilemma: I’ve never been there before and I hear that it can be very dressy. Since it is snowing in New York today, just as “spring” officially starts and I can’t even remember the last time I put on a pair of cute sandals, I need your help to pick the perfect style for me.

Whichever style gets the most votes I will wear to South Beach, AND one lucky entrant will also get the same pair! Below are two of the dresses I am packing, and three footwear styles from Isolá, one of my new favorite brands that emphasize both style and comfort. See below for the official RULES OF ENTRY, but all you do is just look at my dresses, pick one of the three Isolá styles for me, write which one in the comment section, and EITHER “Like” Isola on Facebook or follow @IsolaFootwear on Twitter, letting me know which one of those you did as well. That’s it! Just pick a style (1,2,or 3) and if you are so inclined to also decide what color within that specific style I should wear, go for it (but not necessary). Thanks for your help, and good luck!
