Marissa Webb sent her spring/summer 2016 collection down the MADE Fashion Week runway during New York Fashion Week on Thursday September 10, 2015 in Milk Studios. The collection featured a mix of neutrals, military inspiration, and the most fabulous shoe collection imaginable. Oh yes, these are the shoes to watch for next spring!

Marissa Webb’s created a fabulous collection of high heel sandals and booties with playful fringe tassels flying in the wind as the models moved down the runway. The black sandals and beige booties must make their way into my closet for spring 2016!

The overall collection was playful, and offered texture, layers, and versatility between pieces. Many of the tops and bottoms on the Marissa Webb spring 2016 runway were interchangeable; making it a great collection for wardrobe building. Love that!

I am looking forward to getting my hands on her shoes, and several clothing pieces for spring 2016! To shop Marissa Webb’s current collection, please click here.


Mary Janes for fall 2015

fall 2015 shoe trends

Pictured: Red Mary Janes (I own these and love them! Almost sold out) / Black Mary Janes ( IT shoe for fall. Almost sold out) / Burgundy Mary Janes / Patent Leather Mary Janes (I own these, very comfortable and fabulous!) / Color Blocked Mary Janes / Low Heel Mary Janes

Mary Janes are a hot trend in shoes for the fall 2015 season. This school-girl shoe style was spotted on the runways in New York, Milan, Paris, and London for autumn 2015, and it has taken over store shelves for fall!

The Mary Jane is a classic shoe style. Chances are you owned a pair as a child, and perhaps a pair or two as an adult. You may recall when Sarah Jessica Parker once referenced a popular pair of Mary Janes as her character “Carrie” on famed television show “Sex and the City;” “Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes! I thought these were an urban legend!” This was in reference to then IT shoe, the Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes; now considered a classic closet staple.

If you own a pair of Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes, you have a head start on the fall 2015 season! If not, and you are seeking the IT shoe du jour, look no further than this one by Prada. It has been flying off store shelves; especially in black!

Mary Janes for fall 2015 are being shown in various styles. There are block heels, stiletto heels, skinny heels, low heels, high heels; even no heels! You are sure to find the heel you love on a pair of fall 2015 Mary Jane shoes.

The color palette for Mary Janes this season includes classic black, silver, shades of pink, shades of red, and color blocking. Fabrications include suede, patent leather, faux leather, and regular leather.

The Mary Jane is being worn with flare jeans (high heeled of course), midi skirts, and a-line mini skirts. The block heeled version of the Mary Jane compliments the current 70’s trend we are seeing in fall fashion.

I have invested in two pairs of Mary Janes for the fall season. I will be packing them in my suitcase for my upcoming trip to New York for fashion week. This red pair, and this black pair.

The Mary Jane is a comfortable shoe style for walking and standing. I have found the ankle strap holds the shoe in place, and the block heels offer sturdiness, which lends itself well to walking, and standing, for long periods of time. They are a great alternative to traditional pumps!

I found a few fabulous Mary Janes for the fall 2015 season around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
