Hey lovas, its been a while since the last post, but trust the crew at FTBUP {AKA MOI} is working on few things to keep you shoetained! Continue to stay tuned and check out the site. But enough of that, lets get to the point because its PAHTY time.

As the year draws to a close and the holiday season quickly approaches, soireés and fetes will be in abundance. From office parties to happy hours to intimate gatherings with friends, your social calendar should be full of joy.

And to keep you in tip toe shape, here's my hit list of the funnest - I make up words - shoes of that should keep you dancing {or tipping} all night long.

The Jimmy Choo's are simply divine. For the woman that wants to make a statement, here's your answer dolls. And you can have them for a whopping $1,500 from Bergdorf Goodman. Consider it an investment and wear them at EH-VERY party! #CostPerWears gyals.

Be the star in the room in these studded Charlotte Olympia platform pumps. Pair it with some leather culottes and a chic blouse et voila belle of the happy hour! Own 'em for $895 and throw 'em in your shopping bag

Be mistaken for Santa's little helper in these of the moment and not even on purpose, on trend Miu Miu slingbacks - whew! Considering the heel is stacked AND short, I highly doubt you'll need to shoe swap at the end of the night. Treat yourself to an early Christmas present {and maybe you're only present} for $790 at NETAPORTER.

Here's a little shimmy shimmy yum yum for your feet. These delicious fringe happy sandals from Topshop will keep the party going all night long. For $90 bucks, they simply can't be beat!

Go from day to night in these crushed velvet bow flats from Nine West. At $79, I'd probably buy two pairs {they come in grey and black patent leather - yippee}.

ASOS never lets me down. Get into the spirit with a little faux fur action by Australian super brand Senso. Spice these up with a body hugging sweater dress or rock 'em with a pair of cute jeans and a blazer. Either way you do it, you're winning. Damage: $285.

Understated glam is always the right choice. Dorothy don't know nothing about the click of the rose gold heel hunty. Personally I'd get dressed in all black like the omen and then POP turnaround, kick my heels and turn the mutha out! Proenza Schouler on FarFetch $745.

Be prepared for the bitter nights with these knee-high Jeffrey Campbell boots. The lucite heel adds a some pizazz and take these from being plain to be plain ol' fun. Damage: $180

ASOS for the win one more time with these festive flats for a mere $63. They're called the Merry flats, I mean does it get any better than that? I don't think, lets just end it right there.

I saved the best for last because a girl loves to dream. This Gucci bow-up, round-toe, stacked heel is LIFE. I have nothing else to say. Catch me somewhere in New York on the corner getting my coin so I can have these in my closet. #dontjudge ;). Bergdorf Goodman I'll see you soon. Oh and they're approx. $2,400.

Happy Holiday Shoe Shopping dolls.

Happy Friday lovas and more importantly HAPPY SUMMER! It's almost been a full week since the summer solstice arrived and if you haven't already started revamping your wardrobe then let me help you. Start with your footwear! Its the simplest, easiest and dare I say most chicest way to update your look. I've gathered the top summer shoe trends for you, both high and low, so half the work is done!

Here's the list. Get ta shopping...

THE GLADIATOR

It never gets old. Year after year we embrace the gladiator and year after year designers reinvent the look. These Stuart Weitzman's are a great option to consider for this style. Clean lines, classic look and feel, with the grommets and buckles adding a bit of edge - it doesn't get any better than this. Price: $425

If that price point isn't in your wheel house, check out these Brother Vellies gladiator style sandals in linen. I love the unique spin this up and coming brand added to an otherwise repetitive style. They get it! Price: $285

EMBELLISHED

For all my plain jane dames out there looking for a little action, spruce up any outfit with an embellished flat. These intricately designed chaussures eliminate the need for you to think too much about your look. Throw on a white t-shirt, a denim skirt, shorts or jeans, slide your feet in these, grab a bag et voila! Fini! Jeffrey Campbell. Price: $135

I love the variety provided in the embellished arena. The jewel embellishment trend has been seen all over the runways and the streets. On everything from heels to boots to flats and slides like the Loeffler Randall's above, I promise you just can't go wrong. Price: $112 (pssstt they're having a sale!)

STACKED HEEL

The stacked heel has been making a come back since last fall and it has fully infiltrated the hottest summer shoe trend list. If you're like me, in the summer I generally don't wear heels. Quite frankly, its too damn hot to be sauntering down the street in 5 inch stilettos. Therefore, I have fully embraced the plateau moment summer shoes are having. These luscious Acne Studio heels available at Saks Fifth Avenue are on my list and should be on yours too! Price: $217 - hurry these babies are flying off the shelf.

I have yet to snag a pair of Schutz Shoes. These honestly may be my first. Love 'em. Period. Price: $240

ESPADRILLES

Every designer made it a point to show the beachy side of things this season by updating the ever familiar espadrille. I'm not sure how in the world I missed this version of Valentino's rainbow collection, but I found it for you guys! Available at Net-A-Porter ON SALE! Price: $382 - only a few sizes left!

You gotta love brands that are committed to the entire espadrille/flat/comfy movement. You absolutely cannot loose with a pair of Soludos. The color and style options alone are beyond limitless. I mean I had to do inny minny minni moe just to choose which pair I would showcase for the post. They come in lace-ups, slides, mesh, lace, leather, linen, denim, with buckles. Choices, choices ,choices. Price: $43

FRINGE BENEFITS

Fringey, fringey, fringey. Another expression of embellishment, fringe can add spice to any look. Dress your casual look up or even stay ressed up, without heels. Here's another great pair I missed somehow, but found for the post. SMH. You guys get all the goods from me! Rochas available at Net-A-Porter. Price: $425 BTW, I'll take fringe however they come - the opening image for this post is of Aquazurra's coveted Wild Thing sandals which I am still on the hunt for in my size!

So I've been told to you can never go wrong at Zara when it comes to their shoe collection. Though I haven't given them a fair shot (check my post with Kéla Walker in Shoe Stories where I admit to this), I'm constantly impressed with their shoe scene. Price: $49.99 - SALE!

SNEAKERS

K. So anyone who knows me knows that sneakers were my first love, which I was I saved them for last. I'm a self-professed Tom Boy. On average, on any day of the week, you can catch me in my sneaks! And I have a collection to rival some of these fellas out here who think they're really doing something. But I disgress. Stomp through the city or the burbs in these totally chic Sophia Webster high-tops. All the designers are getting hip to how many woman really love sneakers and more importantly sometimes just want to be comfortable! I support the movement. Price: $330

While you're out there buying up all the designer sneakers, be sure to add some classics to the mix. You can't go wrong with a multi-colored pair of New Balance. They add versatility to the wardrobe and can be worn with a dress just as easy as they can be donned with a pair of jeans! These bad boys can be found at Bergdorf Goodman and when Bergdorf's starts selling mainstream kicks you know this is a serious matter in fashion! Price: $195

Now you should be ready to conquer the shoeniverse and prepare your summer looks. Just say thanks.

Ciao bellas.
