My brand ambassador family Ann Taylor revealed some big news last week – they have partnered with Vince Camuto, who also co-founded the women’s footwear brand Nine West, in their first ever footwear design collaboration. After the I got wind of this news, I didn’t pass go, or collect $200 and proceeded directly to the closest store to check them out soon as they hit the floor. Finding shoes that combine both fashion and function these days is almost impossible – although when it comes to looking good, I’ve been known to put fashion before comfort, but I know I’m not the only one. The Fall footwear collection has a little something for everyone from Sloane Ranger style riding boots, suede smoking slippers, quilted Chanel-esque flats, classic metallic cap toe pumps and a variety of booties.

I literally tried on every single shoe in the store and wore these cap toe pumps running errands all over the city and they are now the most comfortable shoes in my closet. I am not sure how they did it, but it’s almost as if they design team put clouds in the insoles of each and every shoe. They are so unbelievably comfy, it’s unreal.

Not to be out-staged by the new shoe line, the latest jewelry and accessories are definitely holding their own. So classic, timeless and sophisticated and you can’t beat the price point…such great value. I almost never leave home without wearing these two gold bangles which I stack on the same wrist and this bag is super versatile; it comes with a long strap, that’s detachable, so it can be worn as a cross-body bag during the day or as a simple clutch in the evening. So, it’s pretty much like having two bags in one!
