Lanvin Snakeskin Puzzle Wedge Sandal $1,590.00 Barneys


For the past 10 years Alber Elbaz has been the driving force behind French fashion house, Lanvin. His collection gets better season after season and have gained a global following. Barneys is celebrating Elbaz's 10 years with Lanvin by featuring an interview with the designer and handpicked a few pieces from the collection.

These statement-worthy wedge sandals are just in time for the season. Love the snakeskin and wood puzzle wedge. It gives it a modern look with the right amount of edge. I love that these sandals are quite versatile you can pair them with jeans, skirts and dresses.

Smart EcoStyle of the Week:
TOMS 'Corbel' Vegan Classics


Spring officially starts in two weeks (March 20th) and surely I'm not the only one excited about this. But so far it has been a very forgiving winter for us in Michigan. As the new season unfolds, closets and wardrobes change as well. We tuck our winter ensemble to the back, spring front and center.

Herald in the new season with these eco-chic vegan shoes by TOMS. Made with no animal products and pesticide free cotton. The watercolor floral print gives them a fresh and light feel. As always, TOMS would match every pair sold with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need.

Crimes of Fashion:
Gienchi Studded Leopard Print Sneakers

Gienchi Silk Studded Leopard Print Sneakers $400.00 luisaviaroma.com


Seeing these sneakers was a 'WTH' moment for me. Personally, leopard print on itself is fine, but to embellish can just be to much! Don't get me wrong, I love me some metal in my fashion, in this case though to garish. And yes, the above photos shows brand new sneakers, the worn or should I say dirtied look comes with the $400 price tag. Overall, these sneakers are not a smart investment.

Timberland Earthkeepers 'Rudston' Pull-On Boots $119.00 Sale zappos.com


I have to be honest, women's shoes is the last thing that comes to mind when I hear Timberland. Men's Timberland boots are actually nicely made and it is not surprising to apply the workmanship on their women's line. Taking the eco-conscious initiative, Timberland has a collection of footwear that contains durable, high-quality footwear made in an environmentally-friendly way aptly named Earthkeepers.

The 'Rudston' boot has waterproof construction with waterproof leather upper made from a tannery rated Silver for improved energy and waste management and features recycled PET mesh lining offers breathability to keep your legs and feet fresh. Consider this eco-stylish boot on your next shoe shopping. Not only it will serve it's purpose during the cold season but you are also helping our precious environment.

The collection also offers a couple of handbags and accessories to compliment any look. I personally love 'The Ghost' wedge (shown above) it's simple yet stylish. Just in time for fall. I love the mood of Elson's collection, there's a certain warmth and decadence in each piece.
