zackloshoes2As the heat sizzles and the humidity swelters, I dream of fall.

Not just because I received a call today from my shoe guy for the fall shoe preview sale coming up, but simply because it's my favorite season of the year. Fall just makes me happy. I love the clothes, the shoes and the handbags more than any other season.

Zack Lo, fabulous shoe designer, knows how women like to express their style. Thank goodness for that. Give me attitude, give me sexy, give me versatility! Oh, and at a great price. Done.

As I make a list of my season's must haves for fall 2010, you can bet shoes will appear more than once! They always do. And just wait until you see what fall '10 has in store for you. I will be posting my Fall 2010 Fashion Forecast soon, with the season's must haves to follow. 

Please don't throw rocks at me for wanting to switch over to fall. I promise to wait until August before I make the move. Well, I hope I can wait that long.

miumiubirdprintshoesI am not the matchy matchy type. Never have been. However, I am crushing on Miu Miu's sparrow print this season. The shoes, so retro. The wallet, so fun! 

Technically, your wallet will be in your handbag, so no one will even know you are being matchy matchy. What a lovely surprise to whip out this satin print billfold while shopping. Really, it just makes me smile.

The shoes are just cool. What a fun little vibe you'll stir up while wearing these with some white straight leg clam diggers and a geranium-red frilly top! Yum!

About a month ago, I received a pair of the popular FitFlop footwear, in the Classic Walkstar style. I was excited to try them out. After all, who isn't seduced by the legs seen walking in these!

Said to increase leg, calf and gluteal muscle activity, improve posture, mimic the gait of barefoot walking (but with more muscle load), and improve muscle tone, there was nothing to lose. Well, except a little fashion sense, being that I'm a personal stylist helping clients understand how to best express their style.

Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled that the latest versions are not only narrower in width, but also donned in sequins. That makes me happy. But a 'sexy on the foot' flip-flop it is not.

FitFlop footwear is biomechanically engineered to help tone and tighten leg muscles while walking. They feature a patent-pending, muscle-loading Microwobbleboard™ technology to increase the time that your muscles are engaged every single time you take a step. Quite possibly, they are the most comfortable pair of sandals I have ever stepped foot into. There is absolutely no break-in period. At all. And, it doesn't feel like I am 'working out' in them. I find myself slipping them on at the end of the day ... everyday. Have I seen a difference in my tushy? Not yet. However, I hope to over time.

So, what to wear with them? Keep them to workout attire and you're fine. Or, if you plan to be on your feet for an extended period of time, say, like, walking the streets of NYC, then this sandal would be a wise choice paired with jeans, shorts or a cute mini dress!

Jellies may be back, however, do we really want them to be? I, for sure, do not. Eighth grade was the first and last time my feet slipped into jelly shoes. While the styles from designers such as Tory Burch, Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, Stuart Weitzman, etc. have improved, I can't find a reason to wear them, other than to a swim meet. For children, they are cute. For adults, plain silly.
