Time to start thinking about early Spring shoes – and these Valentino Bow Detailed Patent Leather d’Orsay Pumps make me wish it was late March (as does the freezing temperatures). I like the sweet bow, it kind of reminds me of a pair of ruby red shoes I had as a little girl, only grown up (4 1/2 inch heels and a little platform tend to make any shoe grown up). You can preorder them now at Nordstrom to have in time for Spring!

They are also available in black at Nordstrom for $745.00.

You can also find them currently in stock at Saks.com in Black, Aqua, and Gunmetal for $695.00.

OK, I love high heels, but when it is as icy as it is here, you gotta have a pair of flat boots. I like these Diba Julip Boots for their low heel and slim shaft – you can fit them under pants without messing up the line of your leg, and they would be adorable with a skirt (hard to do with a flat boot, in my experience). I also like that it follows the line of the foot, so the whole profile of the boot is slender.

Find them at Amazon.com for only $26.69.
