When it comes to shoes, sometimes it’s hard to find a pair that is sleek and minimalist without being just a little boring. Often, shoes want to either be the center of attention, or just a sad afterthought to your outfit. Not the Matiko Nicki Peep-Toe Wedge from Urban Outfitters. This shoe isn’t trying to steal all your outfit glory, but it isn’t content with being a wallflower either. Chic and fashion-forward, these wedges have a completely leather upper with no seaming at the wedge, this unbroken line will make your legs look miles high… and the 4.5″ height of the wedge certainly helps that cause as well. They may be uber chic and modern, but the cute peep toe detail gives the Nicki just enough retro styling to save it from being too futuristic, and gives you a chance to show off your pedicure. The sleek style will complement a wide range of outfits, and earn you more than a few double-takes and compliments- and these compliments will no doubt be about how great your legs look… like I said, these shoes aren’t looking for all the attention. Available in both nude and black, this wedge is a perfect addition to your wardrobe right this moment, as it will look great with a tan and your summer dresses, but transition perfectly into fall with skinny jeans and sweaters.Where to Buy: Urban OutfittersPrice: $148Who: Zuzubean was the first to add ‘Matiko Nicki Peep-Toe Wedge’ to the Hive.

Back in May, I spent a long weekend in NYC and after hours of running around town trying to keep up with my New Yorker friends, my Los Angeles sandals just weren’t cutting it. I popped into Madewell in Soho, looking for an affordable pair of shoes that would save my feet. I was in luck. Madewell had just started carrying the affordable French it-girl favorite, Bensimon shoes. They were stocked in a few styles (lace-up, pull-on and high-top) and several faded nautical colors, I spent a good 30 minutes trying them all on to see which matched my outfit better. I finally settled on a faded black pull-on pair and wasn’t disappointed, I was able to run and catch up with my friends (who had ditched me during my shopping indecision), continue to trek around the city and didn’t bat an eye when the heels came on for dancing the night away. This summer, these shoes have been my go-to. They look great with jeans, shorts, and are the perfect accessory to dress down a floral mini dress. For the perfect très chic Parisian look, I pair them with a boatneck striped marinière shirt and skinny jeans. Summer is coming to a slow, over-heated close, and if you don’t have a pair of Bensimon shoes in your closet, ready and waiting to transition to your fall wardrobe, you must buy them now. I’ll be adding a pair of the high-tops to my wardrobe to switch off with my faded black pull-ons and counting the days until it’s cold enough for me to pair them with skinny cords, oversized sweaters and scarves… let’s be honest, I’ll be counting the days until it’s cool enough to go outside again, period.

Think you’ve done all you can to spice up your wardrobe? We all go through it. You wake up one day and everything in your closet just seems so…blah. But don’t throw away those old shoes just yet! Give your shoes a new life with fun socks! A little goes a long way, so adding a small new item to your wardrobe creates a completely new look. Before we know it, it’ll be cold outside and that’s when you need to break out some fun new socks! My favorite look by far has got to be some cute heels paired with knee high socks – there’s more than just argyle now! Target has got a great selection of knee high and thigh high socks for totally affordable prices (most under 15 bucks). With so many different styles to choose from, you’ll definitely be spicing up your look without draining your bank account.

Nothing should come between a girl and her shoes. There’s always room for a new pair and what’s better than a pair of shoes that will get you through the remainder of summer with a bit of class? I love intricate designs and sometimes it’s hard to come by a shoe that does it well. I admit it, I can be picky with what goes on my feet, but there’s nothing not to love about this shoe! My latest obsession comes in the form of these Elizabeth and James Maryl heels. Not only is the platform on this shoe killer, but the cutout design is eye-catching and sexy! It’s nice to take a break from all the peep toe shoes out there, and this pair does close-toe’d in a way that’s still airy enough for warmer weather. Shoes are like people: each have their own unique qualities, and some just shine brighter than others… blindingly bright.
