One of my favorite shoe styles on casual days is a pair of flip flops. They  are easy to slip on and off and seem to match almost any casual outfit. Another way I use flip flops is as a comfort shoe. If I have been wearing high heels all day or doing a lot of walking or standing, a pair of flip flops is an easy, nonrestrictive shoe to wear and let my feet take a breather. So, when I was introduced to this hot new flopZ brand, I was thrilled!

flopZ is a new collection of upscale, luminescent flip flops. Although they look chic and cool on the outside, there is something that makes them special on the inside. There is an unique gel insole which treats feet to a soothing massage while walking. Love that!

I tried flopZ flip flops after a long day on my feet and they were amazing. The flip flops made my feet feel so good and it instantly relaxed me as I walked around. I am also in love with the colors. They are vibrant and downright happy! Definitely a fun way to relax my feet after a long day. Of course, a girl can never have just one pair of flip flops, so I have my eye on a couple more colors from the collection. They will also make great holiday gifts for my loved ones this Christmas season!

Each pair of flopZ comes with its’ own shoe bag; making them easy to pack into a tote bag or suitcase. Love that! To shop the flopZ collection, please visit flopz.com.

Fall 2014 is underway, and winter 2015 is fast approaching. One of the biggest trends in shoes for the fall/winter 2014/2015 season is menswear inspired footwear. Menswear inspired footwear includes oxfords, loafers, and even penny loafers! The majority of loafers, oxfords, and flats for the fall 2014, and winter 2015 seasons, are being shown in neutral tones with just enough height on the heel to offer extra arch support. Extra arch support = extra comfort. Love that!

Menswear inspiration has been a strong trend over the past few seasons. Despite the trends’ strength, it has not been the number one trend on the street. Consumers have been taking parts of the menswear inspired trend and incorporating it into their own personal style; rather than wearing the trend head-to-toe. One of the most popular aspects of the menswear inspired trend has been the footwear.

Menswear inspired footwear has become incredibly popular on the street for many reasons. Oxfords, flats, and loafers can easily be worn with trousers at the office, with jeans on the weekend, or paired with a skirt for a fashion-forward, funky look. In addition to being versatile, menswear inspired footwear is also comfortable. Oxfords, flats, and loafers are easy to wear all day and they are perfect for standing or walking for extended periods of time. This makes flats, loafers, and oxfords both versatile and practical. Love that! After all, how often can we say something is both on-trend and incredibly comfortable! Not very often. . .

Flats, loafers, and oxfords are also showing no sign of slowing down as we head into the resort 2015 season and the spring 2015 season. Designers are showing dark colors and neutrals on menswear inspired footwear for the fall/winter seasons. While for resort and spring, designers have opted for pastels, light hues, and perforated leather. This shows the menswear inspired trend is going strong, and will make a good investment as move into 2015.

When shopping for flats, oxfords, and loafers this fall 2014 and winter 2015 seasons, look for neutral colors which will transition easily into the new year, as well as for lug soles. Lug soles are staying strong as we move into 2015 and are also fabulous on rain slicked sidewalks or icy pathways.

I found a few amazing oxfords, flats and loafers online which are perfect for now, and into early 2015. You can find them in the shopping widget below! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
