Louboutin's new masterpiece
"I grabbed a bottle of red nail polish from my assistant and painted it onto the bottom of a shoe. That was the start of my trademark red sole." Christian Louboutin.
The famous footwear designer finally launches his initial inspiration, including of course the iconic Rouge Louboutin. The nail polish is studied in details, especially the sensational bottle that reminds a lot the famous high heels. The designer made sure to facilitate the process for women with a (kind of) calligraphy pen, gracefully used to write on nails. The collection is available in 31 shades, including as I already mentioned the amazing Rouge Louboutin la crème de la crème, which is definitely crucial for the designer. This specific color is the result of a really hard work and many experiences, it represents Louboutin's red sole. The collection reflects powerful women; like the iconic heels, the success is already huge. Hurry up ladies before it's out of stock ($50 a bottle).

This collaboration comes at the perfect time, Puma needed a little stylish makeover to face sportswear giants like Nike and Adidas.

Classic must-have shoes
Despite the fancy shoes that we all love to wear; like the "winter black coat" or the "classic jeans", there are some must-have shoes that all women should own in their closet. I'm not saying to get rid of the crazy Charlotte Olympia high heels, or the fancy Prada numbers, but some models are important for the style and the practical touch too.
Pointus c'est chic:
Incredibly trendy this season, the pointed court shoe are forever chic and super classy. In my opinion, it's definitely a must-have feminine item that you can wear at work, for casual dinners and even for big events. These high heels guarantee the feminine elegance. The material and color aren't very important, you can pick them depending on you personality and taste. The pointed court heels can be found in any shoe store.
Casual Converse:
You probably think that converses are very common and not very feminine, but to me, it is an absolute must-have. For a casual day, those shoes are super practical and, believe it or not, stylish at the same time; you can match them with anything (boyfriend jeans, dress, shorts...). It's true that converses aren't unique and different, but I think the variety of colors and textures today is quiet interesting, and the multitude of things that you can do to style your converses (paint, studs,,,) is awesome. I think everyone should own a pair of Converse that we can style and decorate depending on our personality.
Masculine vibes:
We all need that masculine vibe sometimes to remind or express a certain character. Brogues are the best to guarantee a classy look, yet very sophisticated. You can have fun matching them with long socks, skirts, dresses, straight pants or even a feminine suit to complete a serious look. I think it's a classic must-have because you can wear them on casual occasions, or even for formal events. Brogues are very stylish in all seasons.
Summer sandals:
Sandals is a very vast word, but I can't specify a particular brand or a particular model. What I mean here, is simple flat sandals that you can wear with anything in summer. If it was for this summer, I would pick the Tropezienne as a must-have, but we all know that they wont be forever trendy; so I suggest simple sandals (gold, silver, bronze or beige) with maybe discrete details (strass, studs...). Classic chic sandals is perfect for casual and dressy events; you just have to pick the perfect color (already mentioned), and the perfect material like leather.
Winter must-have:
For winter, the perfect shoes in my opinion, are black leather ankle boots. Very simple, but super class, these boots are also very practical with dresses and pants. I think they are amazing for winter, whether it's under the rain or on a sunny day. They give a very sophisticated look; you can choose them with a bit of heels, or with a zipper on the side for example depending on your taste, but without a lot of details, keep it simple and chic. You can even wear them in spring or summer with stylish outfits (mentioned in an older post "Stylish Summer").
Signé s'il vous plait:
What would our closets be without signé heels? Yes ladies, signé shoes are a must-have. I think all women at a certain point, should own at least a pair of "big brand" heels, a personal treat, preciously preserved in its box. As we all know, high heels are a strong feminine symbol, and I think from time to time, for certain occasions, it's important to wear signé numbers. I know the prices are incredible, but fashion speaking, a pair of classic Louboutin, or even fancy Dolce and Gabbana high heels, are required in a woman's closet.

What to pack for a beach trip
Beach trips are all about sexiness, style and elegance. Besides the fashionable swimsuits, there are so many perfect trendy accessories for your séjours! Ladies, in those kind of trips, the most important items are the useless ones, only for style; headbands, large kimonos, summer boots, giant necklaces, huge hats, should be on top of the list! Unlike winter trips, or simply city trips where there are some fashion rules to respect, the beach is one of the rare place when you can go crazy with your outfits and explode cutouts! During my trip to Greek islands, I enjoyed choosing my outfits everyday, because I didn't have to think if it was too short, or too daring... People who live near the beach build their unique style based on accessories mainly (sunglasses, colorful earrings...), most of the guys go out shirtless, and as I said, they concentrate on the hairstyle and accessories. It's natural somehow, they don't think too much, because there are no rules when you can just go out with a cute swimsuit and a huge flower necklace. You are not in Paris or New York where you have to be fabulously chic otherwise you are judged, that's why I said in the beginning, beach trips equal sexiness, style and of course ,a minimum of elegance. Although, if you have fancy dinners during your trip, or for example, a day in a city far from the beach, you absolutely have to show your classy side! Here's some items I personally took with me on my beach trip (excuse the non-professional pictures).
