"Designed in New York. Made in Italy" - J. Crew's March Style Guide Brings Some Lovelies!

I love J. Crew's March Style Guide for so many reasons, but mostly for the shoes!  The Italian Shoe Collection (designed in NY ;)) boasts some beauties worth talking about.  You know I am a girl who loves a little sparkle so here it goes!  The Collection Janey Jeweled Bow Snakeskin Flat (above) has a very bedazzled bow.  I think these would compliment a pretty neutral dress or suit.  They have just the right amount of "lustrini"!

The Collection Etta Sequin Pumps are the real deal with sparkle which J. Crew says all 8,612 sequins (for the pair) are hand-sewn.  Now that is a lot of sparkle!  I love these pumps because they can break all the rules with conservative office wear.  These babies could show off your sassy-side with a beautiful sheath dress or pencil skirt and white blouse.  They say, "I am a confident and sparkly woman! And the bonus on these pumps is that they are made with a cushioned foot bed which helps you take the day into night without changing shoes.  Now, you can click your heels three times and feel amazing in these pumps!

The colors and prints in the Collection are just beautiful.  From "dazzling sun", "neon pink", "admiral blue" to prints in "yellow multi floral print" and "hummingbird floral" which are already sold out :(  These colors can take us from Spring right into Summer.

 And for the girl who prefers the more neutral palette, the Collection will be sure to please.  In addition to the Collection Janey Jeweled Bow Snakeskin Flat I love both the Collection Daisy Chain Ballet flats and the Collection Etta Crystal & Stud Pumps.  The  Collection Etta Crystal & Stud Pumps are in "Pewter" with an amazing array of gold, silver and crystal sparkles.  These pumps too have a cushioned foot bed so that you don't have aching feet after a long day!

The flat that I adore from this Collection is the Janey Metallic Flat. I just love how the upper is smooth allover silver with a gold-toned heel.  I think this is great giving flexibility to what you wear both in your other accessories, clothing an/or jewelry.  The combination metallic finish is also unique in that one typically sees an all-over silver or just gold shoe.  It is a very modern ballet flat for sure.  The Janey flat also comes in patent, snakeskin, calf-hair, prints, jewels and crystals!

So that's a wrap on the newest Collection of J. Crew shoe-wear.  It gives me a positive pop of Spring that so many of us are craving would come all too soon!

Cheers.
