Shoe Pick of the Week

Although a women's closet should have an abundance of heels, flats are a definite must for your shoe collection.  They are perfect for all occasions (travel, work, a casual night out, etc) and provide a level of comfort that your 5 inch stilettos won't.  The negative connotation that came with flats is no longer due to the plethora of trendy designs (such as the Diane von Furstenberg Madison zebra flat featured above) that suits all women.  Here are a few options to flirt with for your closet.

Look of the Week

The look of the week goes to Kim Kardashian who looked fabulous in her color blocking ensemble while at the Atlantis Aquarium in Dubai. Her look is classy, conservative, and sexy and accentuates her curves. She donned a teal high waisted pencil skirt with a yellow bow blouse.  Her look is from L'Wren Scott's Fall 2009 collection. She finished her look with a pair of Christian Louboutin's platform nude Mary Janes and a gold clutch.
