Spring satin isn't just for weddings anymore. With the right cut and color, satin shoes can make major impact for both day and night looks. Personally, I go for brighter hues and fun prints, but blacks and tans also look amazing with funky LBDs. I can totally picture Carrie Bradshaw taking an afternoon stroll in these lusty Christian Louboutin Greissimo Pumps ($633) in Sex and the City 2 — swoon.
Look of the Day: When Leather Met Satin
One day leather met satin. They came from two separate worlds, but had some serious chemistry. Leather toughened up satin, while satin softened up leather. Missfox brought out the best in each one and they all lived happily ever after. The end.
Here's what she has on:
- Dress: Richard Chai for Target
- Jacket: Gap
- Necklace: Rapt in Maille
- Boots: Zara
- Bag: Zara
Congrats to missfox!

Trend Alert: Satin Handbags
Lay down your leather and give satin handbags a whirl. The silky sheen and jewel-toned palettes give off instant swank — day or night. Clutches are always a classic choice but I dare you to try a larger shape. Or maybe a bejeweled one like this Devi Kroell Satin Frame Clutch? Swoon.
What Fabric Do You Wear Most Frequently?
The Look For Less: Marni Patent Runway Wedge

Oh, Marni. Why do you have to go and make a collection of incredibly desirable footwear that's out of my reach? This Marni Patent Runway Wedge ($685) is something I can ideally splurge on, but is it really worth paying that much for something I can't possibly wear every day? I think not.
