…were MADE to be worn during Magic City Classic festivities. You can’t go wrong this season with Jessica Simpson’s ‘Essas’ booties ($149), featuring leopard print and a fashionable black leather cap toe; these shoes will take you from the game to afterhours activities on the town whether you’re rocking black and old gold or maroon and white. If animal print is too much of a statement for you, rock the more subtle black or burgundy versions. Be careful though; these 5″ heels are not for novices. Please don’t break them out without sufficient practice.

…somewhere (Magic City Classic weekend, perhaps?). When I’m bored, I love dreaming up outfits to wear. This one combines several of my current favorite things: the leather peplum trend, white pants after Labor Day, fierce kitty leopard flats and arm candy. The top could easily be worn with a pencil skirt or colored denim instead. You likey? Or do I need to go back to the drawing board (er, closet)?
Q: Dear SCDD, Help!!! Where can I get some super awesome nude shoes: Flats, pumps, stilettos, etc? Also, “nude” means nude for YOUR skin type…right?? -Sincerely, Desperately Seeking Nudeness
A: No need to be desperate, diva! As the above photo shows, there are plenty of options for nude, tan, or beige footwear. From Steve Madden, Jessica Simpson, Nine West and Aldo to Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin and Brian Atwood it’s pretty easy to find a neutral shoe that flatters your skintone. Check out all the options available at Heels.com!
The hue doesn’t have to be an exact match to your complexion; one or two shades lighter is perfectly fine. And don’t limit them to your beige, tan or brown ensembles. A nude pump, flat, bootie, peeptoe or platform can be worn with (just about) anything!
Do you have a fashion dilemma? Wondering what to wear on a first date, job interview or to a social event? Ask Alexis!
*Top, clockwise: Tory Burch “Reva” leather flat, Christian Louboutin “Very Prive” open-toe pump, Rebecca Minkoff “Solange” wedge booties, and Christian Louboutin “Bianca” closed-toe platform pump
There are 10 items every fashionable woman needs in her closet. Here’s one I wore this week: candy apple-red flats (plus a peek at the hem of my matching skirt).

Yes, you need them – whether they came from Forever 21, a yard sale, Mikimoto or courtesy of your mother’s jewelry box (sorry Mom; you aren’t getting yours back!). Faux or fabulously real, in a triple strand or opera-length, a beautiful set of pearls will take you anywhere.
