Make the Candyman jealous.

Twister was fun. Scrabble was challenging. Sorry was annoying. Candyland, however, was epic. The rules were simple, pick up a card and move to that color. Keep going until you kick the other toddler’s ass. You always wished to hit the Rainbow Trail or the Gumdrop Pass (the two shortcuts that make your opponent cry) and seriously try to avoid those damn Gooey Gumdrops, Lollipop Woods, and Molasses Swamps that make you lose a turn. The basic rules paired with the delightfully cheery and yummy color palette make this game a must-have for all. That’s how I feel about the Betsey Johnson Campbell Heel:

Any lady brave enough to step out in this whimsical heel, probably kicked tail in Candyland as a kid – and if she’ll admit it, she probably plays now with her nieces and nephews. With a beautiful white patent leather foundation and peep-toe, the multi-colored accents really pop and catch the eye. I adore the flower detail with the matching pair of leaves subtley place under it. The string of colors that lines the shoe coordinate nicely with the rest of the accents. At a decent height of 4.5”, the heel is covered which carries the white patent leather to the very end.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. What the hell are you going to ever wear this with? Where are you ever going to wear it to? Really ladies? REALLY? Come on. Be adventurous. Be unique! Pair it with whatever GOES, not matches. Go simple with a classic oxford and skinny jean. Or throw on a few colorful camis with your fave denim. Whatever you do, make sure to wear them when you’re reaching “Home Sweet Home” on the board – and tell Queen Frostine and Lord Licorice hi for me.

Your feet are the new Carrie Bradshaw

One of the things every woman remembers most about the beloved Sex and the City series is the flower. Carrie’s flower. That show has given rise to many fashion statements and trends - fabulous Manolos, sex talk, Sunday brunches, and the renowned flower. The fashion-forward stylista, Carrie, adorned her apparel all of the time with a signature flower. Women around the world shortly followed suit. And now you can Carrie Bradshaw your feet with the Pura Lopez Women's P259 Slingback Sandal:

Coming in both purple and taupe satin, this gem of a pair will definitely channel your inner Carrie. The beautifully bloomed flower is perfectly positioned at an off-kilter angle to contrast with the conservative lines and satin material. Although the heel height is a bit more demure at 4.25 inches, (I know, it’s pretty high, but for me it’s the higher the better) it creates a nice silhouette that compliments your legs, especially your calves, nicely. So, go out grab yourself a pair and go to brunch with your besties, chat it up about your love lives, and flaunt your awesome new footwear!

Sex? Yes, please.

Want to scream sex, or at least whisper it? Of course you do. What woman doesn’t? Don’t lie to yourself. Seriously, don’t. I’m not saying to scream sex every day like a prostitute, but there are those choice occasions when a subtle hint of “I’m the hottest thing to walk this planet” is in tremendous order. How do I propose you do this? Well, wearing sexy lingerie under your outfit at work is one way, or wearing sexy lingerie on your feet (yes, your feet) is another way. Intrigued? I’m sure you are… if this tickles your fancy then the Christian Louboutin Ambro Lace Peep Toe Pump is your next best friend:

Subtlety sexy. Empowering. Just plain fabulous, well not plain, but most definitely fabulous. Black leather and lace… how can you go wrong? Impossible. All that paired with a peep toe and an uber high heel makes a good girl go bad. You have to love them. I’m mandating it.

It's a bird! It's a plane!

It’s a pump! It’s a cutout! It’s the new Christian Louboutin Moira Cutout Patent Pump:

How phenomenal are these shoes? I went to Neiman’s to go try them on and they are absolutely stunning! The teardrop cutouts with nude mesh are unexpectedly flattering to the feet. They are available in two different colors – a rich cranberry or beautiful black calf leather. Personally I’m loving the cranberry color, especially with a fresh French pedicure.

These shoes will pair perfectly with a cute, fitted pencil skirt. They’d be especially adorable poking out from under a great pair of slacks. The heel is almost 5 inches, just how I like them – towering and powerful.

It’s imperative that you go out now and try these on. They are flirty and fun, but still decidedly perfect for the office, too. Make sure to try both colors on to see which fits you best. Or, make the salesman really, really happy and get both!

Arresting Red

Here’s a pop quiz for you - which car is most likely to get pulled over? The old, dull, gray, four- door sedan or the hot new bright red convertible with the top down? They’re both going 10 over the speed limit, which is more likely to get noticed? Take your time, think of your answer, mull it over… ready? Obviously the hot, red convertible. Not just red, but ARRESTING red. That’s the first thought I had when I saw the new Sergio Rossi Cut Out Zip Pump:

This pair is so dangerously delectable I can barely stand it. What is there not to love about them? I don’t even know where to begin. The fantastically trendy zipper? So wonderful, I love zippers when they are placed unexpectedly. The open toe that shows off an awesome pedicure? So great, especially when you have a fun color on your little piggy’s. The asymmetrical cut out that lends to the beauty of this shoe? Wonderful, just absolutely wonderful. But, I have to admit, the best feature of this pair is the color. The eye-catching, stunning, can’t-believe-they-are-so-gorgeous red. Arresting Red. Careful, when you step out in these exquisite beauties, you just might get pulled over – and the officer may very well ask for your number.
