Trend - New York Fashion Week A/W2013 SHOES

I've been intending to do this post for a long time now... SHOES! I've loved shoes for the longest time, and whenever I can choose between an awesome pair of shoes and a great jacket, I will go for the shoes 9 out of 10 times. For me, the choice of shoes are one of the easiest way to dress an outfit up or down. As a student, I usually wear a simple pair of jeans and knit top. However, if I feel that today is a special day, I will wear a pair of fancier shoes instead of a pair of sneakers, or wear a type of shoes to impress people. So it may not be a huge surprise that I want to talk about the shoes trends this season. 

there are six general forms of shoes presented for the Fall 2013 collection: heels, ankle booties, mid/lower-calves boots, knee-high boots, strappy heels, and alteration looks of traditional shoes (I'll explain in a bit). I've gathered photos from the runway shows and hopefully provided an easier view of this season's beautiful shoe collection! I had There are a few designs that are my ultimate favorites, but my favorite designer throughout the season would be Prabal Gurung. His designs and I looks chic and empowering, and I would do anything to get a pair (especially one of these boots!)

Now, let's start analyzing the season!

Ankle Bootie

Lace-Up and Leather. These boots are generally ankle high, and some has platform, some doesn't. Platforms are slowly beginning to phase out and we may be able to see that in more pictures below.

Vera Wang - Featured Designer of New York Fashion Week A/W 2013 02/12

Vera Wang

Vera Wang has always been the master of sophistication, elegance, and femininity, I mean, she is probably the best wedding dress designer out there (or at least the most renown). This collection has its high and lows, but mostly highs. There are just so many gorgeous pieces here that I am able to ignore the bad ones.

There's a progression with her collection here, starting with the more solid color ones, and then to a more black and white flower prints, lastly is the black, purple, silver, and bronze prints. The first 3 looks are the most simple and wearable of all. They are also personally my favorites. Take a look at the collection and maybe consider one of them to be what you wear to an interview or a cocktail party! Definitely will become the most eye-catching person.
