Aerosoles Fall 2010 Preview




Earlier this week, I had a chance to preview the Aerosoles Fall Winter 2010 collection at Spa Chakra in New York City, a tranquil setting befitting the soothing styles that are the hallmark of the Aerosoles brand. Easy on the eyes, easy on the feet! The fall collection aims to give Aerosoles customers more of what they love: Classic styles with a fashion-forward twist, like ankle boots with stud detailing, or their classic ballet flat done in menswear-inspired tweed. Many of the styles are available in genuine leather, and range in price from $79 to $150 which makes them an amazing value. Each style also features the hallmark diamond-pattern tread for comfort and traction, as well as a cushioned footbed. I own a couple pairs of Aerosoles, including leather riding boots and peep-toe mary jane heels, and they are some of the comfiest shoes I own—use a discerning eye and you will find some serious gems! Look for these fall styles to hit Aerosoles stores and aerosoles.com in August.

The Look for Less: DAY Birger et Mikkelsen Striped Layer T-shirt


A striped shirt is a wardrobe essential. Don't worry about the horizontal lines making you look wider, it's a myth! Well, except in photos. But in person, stripes looks flattering and chic. Pair this DAY Birger et Mikkelsen Striped Layer T-shirt ($89, net-a-porter.com) with skinnies and flats or wear with wide leg jeans and platform sandals for a casual spring look.
