Is your shoe wardrobe suffering from the winter blues? Adding a pair of fabulous new shows breathes life into old outfits. The hot trends this season include chunky heels, ankle straps, and cutout details. Here are the seven fabulous pairs of shoes that caught my eye, all under-$100
Franco Sarto L Dress Pumps ($57)
Naturalizer Whitney Pumps ($99)
J Renee Samina Ornament Pumps ($99)
A girlfriend texted me Saturday with a question that was uniquely D.C. Her office is no longer suits and sheath dresses, but it’s not jeans and athleisure either. “Can an office be ‘semi-formal’?,” she pondered. “What do I wear for that?!” Enter the shirtdress, the solution for summer.
Welcome to the warm weather months. Outside, you will roast. Inside, you will freeze. The air conditioning will be your constant nemesis, as it “conditions” the air to a temperature that is primarily suitable for men. Luckily, this cardigan can keep you warm even when your fiery resentment wanes.
Nora Ephron was right: I feel bad about my neck. As I move through my forties, the creases have turned into chasms. The skin sags like a pair of sweatpants with aging elastic. It’s not great. But it’s just a natural part of getting older. Over the past year, it feels like I’ve tried every […]

This week has been an absolute bear, so let’s reach into the reader mail bag and answer some questions. And let’s start with a post about affordable summer bags.
I still can’t do the low block heel. It reminds me of my dressy shoes when I was a kid, and I don’t think they’d be very flattering with my muscular calves.
Same here! I can’t wear high heels so the low blocks seems like a good idea in theory, but I fear they would just be clunky on me. Kitten heels forever, I guess!
If you keep everything else sleek it could work; so I would go without the ankle strap so you get full leg length, and I would do a pointed toe.
I love the low block heel for when I hit the Hill. They remind me of Audrey Hepburn’s character in How to Steal a Million.
belle (or anyone) — got a suggestion for the first shoe you featured (Mango low block heel w/ black tips) in a flats version? not “designer” tho — I’m find with spending a bit, but not like $500.

aren’t the mango shoes only $99?
G is looking for a flat version of that shoe.
I love love love the light pink pumps with the bow. The only thing that’s stopping me is knowing how quickly I would ruin light pink suede.
That is a real concern.
I really like these, especially the second one (love ankle straps). Any suggestions on similar ones that come in narrow sizes? Regular width shoes never fit me
