Trendspotting: The Penny Loafer Pump

Today, OnSugar blogger The Artful Shopper shares her love for one of Fall's hottest shoe trends — the loafer pump.

Today, OnSugar blogger The Artful Shopper shares her love for one of Fall's hottest shoe trends — the loafer pump. Listen up to what she has to say, then shop her favorite picks!

“In fashion, either you’re in, or you’re out.” In the 6th grade, I wanted “in” and that meant joining the so-called “Preps” so, I assembled a wardrobe of V-necks, cableknits and Palazzo pants. And one of my most coveted items of them all? Wait for it . . . penny loafers.

Who can forget the novelty of buying their first must-have pair of shoes that all the other kids are wearing? Maybe yours were some pretty heels, or a cushy pair of UGG's, or a stylin’ set of Nike Airs, but penny loafers? Sure, there was the novelty of having big sis help me make them look all shiny, and adding the little charm of a penny, but who can forget the thick, awkward block heel, the unflattering height and the typically dowdy association with straight-laced school marms and perhaps, those least interested in fashion, “Gulp,” nuns?

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Aspen Food & Wine Classic

YumSugar's heading to a three-day extravaganza at the Aspen Food & Wine Classic this week and needed our fashion expertise.

YumSugar's heading to a three-day extravaganza at the Aspen Food & Wine Classic this week and needed our fashion expertise. She'll be attending oodles of foodie soirees, so I asked you to come up with something beautiful and unique. She had two rules: nothing tight and nothing white — what happens if something spills? Smart. Dresses are nice, but I wanted you to feel free to play around with skirts and cute tops. The weatherman also predicted a chance of rain, so a cool jacket was required.

I started you off with this Calvin Klein Sarika Platform Pump ($98); the simple style gave you room to play with color and creativity. Let's see YumSugar's favorite outfits!


Look #1, created by Zivanod, is perfect for Yum. I adore the color combination and fun tights!

Spharrell looks like a sassy lady in her sophisticated attire. I like how she paired her new denim skirt with a printed top. Her accessorizing skills are also a force to be reckoned with. The layered chains, opaque tights, and burnt sienna platform pumps pull her whole look together.

Here's what she has on:

  • Top: TJMaxx

Back to Cool: Clueless

In high school, it's all about boys, popularity, and clothes.

In high school, it's all about boys, popularity, and clothes. Yep, sounds about right. No movie portrayed that better than Clueless. In her most outstanding role, Alicia Silverstone played Cher, and along with her BF Dione, took newbie Tai under their wings and transformed her into one of the most coveted girls in school. All it took was a couple knee-high socks, short plaid skirts, platform pumps, and a Beverly Hills attitude. See, it's so easy to go from clueless to coolness. As if!

Marni Satin Platform: Love It or Hate It?

I'm all for platforms, but these babies are some platforms and a half.

I'm all for platforms, but these babies are some platforms and a half. The front is getting so chunky on these Marni Satin Platforms, $610, it's starting to look more like a yummy chunky chocolate bar rather than the fabulous Marni shoe that it is. Moderation is key, for most things at least, and I'm thinking this might be a little much for me. What about you?

Fab Body Guide: Slenderize Thick Ankles

We all have some body parts we love to show off, and some we can't help but cover up.

We all have some body parts we love to show off, and some we can't help but cover up. The good news is there are solutions to most fashion problems! I have had a few girls vent to me about having thick ankles and wondering what shoes they should wear to help slenderize the situation. Here are three styles that are all different and help thin out thick ankles. Hope this helps and please let me know if you have any more suggestions!


T-Strap Heels

This shape draws the eye in and down, so ankles appear leaner. The opposite of a t-strap would be a slingback, which make ankles seem rounder.
