Newest Fashion Trend – Natural Shoes

When I say ‘natural’ I’m really talking about the color. The newest trend in shoes lately has been the natural browns and golds, which compliment a person’s skin tone, especially during the summer months when we all are getting our tan on. The best part about it? You can wear them with just about any outfit. Here are a few that I’ve recently picked up, all at three different price points:


High heels, Aldo, $79 - These are very comfortable (for heels) and are pure soft leather so they don’t cut into your skin like a lot of the more cheap heels do. Also, as you wear them, they get even softer. Score!

Mix No. 6 Gold and brown gladiator sandals, DSW, $34.95 – Super comfy and super cute. These are perfect for the summer, especially for an outdoor concert event, an evening walking along the pier, or even a day at Disneyland.

Brown and Teal sandals, Payless Shoes, $14.99 – Ok, so they’re not as soft as the leather heels or as comfy as the gladiator sandals, but that’s because I’m a sandal snob and I’m all about comfort. Honestly, it’s more about the fact that it has the long divider between the toes, but that’s a personal preference. You get what you pay for and these are more about aesthetics than anything.

Cindy Crawford Wants Body Acceptance in Three Years

A few weeks ago, I saw this story on Good Morning America about Cindy Crawford not liking her body, even after all these years. I thought to myself “Umm, THE Cindy Crawford? As in the supermodel/supermogul with the perfect body and perfect hair and who hasn’t aged since I was a kid Cindy Crawford?” This sounds crazy, right? I guess it’s easy to think that others have it all together especially when people only show you what they want to show you. But as I also know all too well from living in LA and being in the fashion and beauty industries, every woman, regardless of age, income, weight, ethnicity, etc., has some sort of insecurity about her body. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you and I share some of the same since we have been plagued with the same societal bullshit ideas of beauty. 

Either way, I just wanted to post this because I want you to know you’re not alone; I feel this way and apparently so do supermodels. Don’t fear beautiful girl, you are perfect just as you are. Now all you need to do is start believing it.  Oh, and by the way, the two photos below are of her in the 80's and the other in 2013...tell me if you can really see a difference (because I can't). 

Here’s the link to the story for your own eyes to see:
