Loeffler Randall Recalls Edward Scissorhands For Spring

There's no question Edward Scissorhands had style, but who would expect the character to inspire a sprightly Spring line?
by


There's no question Edward Scissorhands had style, but who would expect the character to inspire a sprightly Spring line? Loeffler Randall's Spring 2013 shoe and handbag collections have arrived, and designer Jessie Randall cites the cult classic film, along with the concept of suburban perfection, as her inspiration. Have no fear: there are no sharp edges in this array. Instead, we're seeing graphic black and white mixed with bright hues, feminine details, and romantic motifs. In a floral-print linen-silk blend fabric, the Dahlia platform heel is an instant icon that we'd pair with silk pants for the day or high-waisted shorts with a little Nancy Sinatra style for the evening. We're also pleased to see the brand's popular Rider bag softened for Spring in a delicious creamsicle-esque orange. Shop the rest of the just-in pieces below.

New York Fashion Week just kicked off and we're already blown away by the amazing street style.

To help fight the Winter blues, we spotted a street styler donning these stunning silver pumps. Bold, with a simple silhouette, these modern heels inject instant shine to any ensemble. Whether it's paired with simple trousers seen here, or with black tights and a sweater dress, we're inspired to add a little dazzle to our look ASAP. Inspired? Shop our editors' picks below.

When a Sandal and a Boot Fall In Love . . . You Get Spring's Most Daring Shoe

What do you get when you mix two of the biggest seasonal footwear staples?
by

What do you get when you mix two of the biggest seasonal footwear staples? Answer: the sandal boot. It's a style that we saw a lot on Spring's runways, from Oscar de la Renta's laser-cut leather booties to the knee-high gladiator styles at Altuzarra and Proenza Schouler — and we have to admit that as risky as they are, we're loving this new shoe hybrid. Fusing the style and ease of a classic sandal with the height of a boot, the sexy silhouette is not for the faint of heart; it's the ultimate statement shoe and will undoubtedly garner tons of attention (not to mention a few double-takes). Ready to dive into the daring Spring trend? Click through to shop some of the most wearable pairs now.

Kick Starter: The Award-Winning Nicholas Kirkwood Shoes You Can Buy Right Now

There's likely more than one British designer wishing they could step into Nicholas Kirkwood's shoes right now.
by

There's likely more than one British designer wishing they could step into Nicholas Kirkwood's shoes right now. On Tuesday, Kirkwood became the first accessory designer to win the British Fashion Council/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund.

"Nicholas has created a real business in an impressively short amount of time and has become one of the world's most influential shoe designers," said British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman, who's on the fund's judging panel. "I very much look forward to seeing what he does next."

What's next for Kirkwood is a plan for major growth. The prize includes £200,000 (just under $315,000 at current exchange) and an 18-month mentoring program for Kirkwood and his partner Christopher Suarez designed to help them turn their company into a global fashion brand.

Kirkwood, who recently designed all the shoes for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, beat a field of other young talents that included Roksanda Ilincic, Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto, and Emilia Wickstead for the prize. In the past, the award has gone to Erdem Moralioglu, Jonathan Saunders, and Christopher Kane, the latest talent to join luxury conglomerate PPR.

Only time will tell if a big deal with one of the world's foremost fashion companies is in the cards for Kirkwood, too. In the meantime, a look at some of our favorite Kirkwood originals available right now.

How to Choose the Right Gym Shoe

A new gym membership is cause for a new pair of shoes, and not just ones that match your workout outfit.
by

A new gym membership is cause for a new pair of shoes, and not just ones that match your workout outfit. Here are a few things to remember when you are shopping for shoes to sport at the gym.

Weight lifting: When lifting weights, it's important that you have a firm, flat grip on the ground. This ensures proper form and that your stance offers you a safe grip — especially important if you are lifting heavy. Don't wear your high-tech, thick-soled running shoes in the weight room; stick with flat-soled shoes or barefoot-running styles to keep your weight-lifting routine safe and effective.

Gym class: A cardio or strength-training class habit means you need some supportive shoes. The constant jumping and side-to-side shuffling you do in class means you should invest in a pair of shoes that provide ample cushioning and support as well as grip. You may also appreciate shoes with a wide toe box for optimal movement in class. Look for minimalist cross-trainers that offer arch and ankle support without the bulk; they are light enough to keep your feet from feeling heavy or overheated.

Treadmill time: If you clock in miles on the treadmill every time you go to the gym, you should invest in running shoes. Choose shoes that give you the support you need based on how you run; overpronators, for example, need shoes that keep their feet from rolling inward while they run. For more tips on how to pick the right running shoe, read our advice here, and find out more about pronation and running styles here.

Who says Spring is the only time to bring out your brights?
by


Who says Spring is the only time to bring out your brights? If we're being honest, the cold-weather months are the best time to experiment with a bold hue — especially when it's a shoe. J.Crew women's designer Tom Mora recently told us that "it's really fun to walk into a party in a more muted black or gray outfit and then have people look down and see a bright shoe" — and we couldn't agree more. The same style rule works well outside the party scene as well: you can jazz up an otherwise humdrum office look with a bright pair of pumps, and wow your coworkers with your unexpected sense of style. Click through the widget below to shop 33 bold shoes now.
