Naya Shoes is is a fabulous and eco-chic footwear brand which is well-loved here at Bay Area Fashionista. Not only are the shoes incredibly comfortable, fashionable and moderately priced, the entire line is made with eco-conscious materials in an eco-friendly factory. Love that!

Starting today, and running through April 10, 2012, Naya Shoes chose five bloggers to style their “Eternal” wedge for the chance to win a pair of shoes! I was extremely grateful when Naya Shoes asked me to style the “Eternal” wedge in yellow for the contest. I photographed two outfits, one with cobalt skinnies and one with a tangerine striped dress. The dress made the cut!

Cap toed shoes will spring into fall

The cap toed shoe has been spotted sparingly this spring 2012 season, but for fall 2012, the style will be moving into the forefront of foot fashion. Designers such as Christian Louboutin, Stuart Weisman and Roberto Cavalli (Just Cavalli line) have already shown the cap toe shoe for spring 2012 and fall 2012. This retro style, which is reminiscent of the early to mid-1900’s, is adding a fresh take to the pump and the flat this year.

Cap toed shoes are being shown in colors, neutrals and metallic’s for the spring and fall seasons; showing the style is offering shoe fans many options for 2012. 

We found a few fabulous styles of cap toed pumps from the current spring collections which also reflect fall 2012’s color palette and assembled them into the Polyvore set below. Happy shopping and stay fabulous

Prada’s kitschy spring shoes offer to take your feet for a ride

 in General Fashion / Shoes  tagged prada / spring 2012 by

Prada caught the attention of the fashion world last fall when they sent kitschy, 1950’s car inspired shoes down the spring 2012 runway. The shoes were interesting and started many conversations, but no-one could comprehend how many styles of car-like shoes would actually arrive on store shelves during the spring shopping season. Prada has designed not one, not two, but well over twelve styles of kitschy car shoes for the spring 2012 season; and they are priced well over $1000!

As the fall 2012 runways give us a glimpse into the new trends for the upcoming cool weather season, the fashion world is seeing kitschy fashion pop up on the catwalk in the form of both handbags and shoes. Could Prada have started a new trend? It should be interesting to see Prada’s car shoes on the street this spring and summer. What do you think of the collection, will you wear them?
