I Have a Thing for INEZ

April 30, 2024

When it comes to being a shoe gal, I’m always on the hunt for not just aesthetic and design, but most importantly, lasting comfort. Who wants to walk around in pain all day long?! The elevated designs, combined with technical expertise and a sensitivity to fit, give Inez a distinct point of view. The most comfortable barely-there sandal is what they’re known for, so you know I had to share my love for this shoe brand! Here are five of my favorite staple shoes in my closet that can be worn in everyday life and also at night. 15% OFF with code Suzanne15

naomi black suede

This platform shoe featuring a softly squared toe shape and flared block heel was inspired by 90s silhouettes. I love the sophisticated look and held-on feel of generous strap coverage. The custom designed insole cradles the foot and provides support for hours of wear. The Naomi in black suede is so beautiful, works great for any look, casual or non-casual.

ALTA DEEP RED SUEDE

The clean lines and classic silhouette of a pointy toe pump are further refined by a plush proprietary insole. The deep red shade and suede texture make the heel timeless yet contemporary. The Alta heel brings a great pop of color into an outfit, whether the occasion be date night, a day at the office, or even a family gathering, the comfort of these shoes will get you through. If red is not your color, these heels are also available in different colors.

SASHA SILVER METALLIC

Thin, parallel straps on this high heel sandal are proportionately placed to secure the foot while providing a nearly-nude look on top of a custom-designed insole. The Sasha in silver metallic brings the fun to an outfit, whether it is a holiday look, a night out dancing with the girls or everyday wear, these heels are completely painless and stable!

MILA BLACK CALF

A vintage inspired tube shaft boot that sits below the calf. Features a pointed toe and an elegant mid-heel for a uniquely sophisticated look. I love pairing the Alta boot with a maxi skirt or jeans, they look lovely with wide leg trousers too! The mid heel height of 2.8 inches is perfect for my level of comfort. Great for dressy or casual looks.

SOFIA BLACK PATENT

Asymmetrical straps and a slim ankle wrap give an airy look to this elegant mid-heel sandal. A custom-designed insole cradles your foot and provides unexpected agility. The Sofia in black patent is probably my most worn high-heeled sandal, especially in the warmer seasons. These heels go with everything, even a winter look with tights. And yes, I have literally run through traffic in these and no problem!

4 Favorite Trending Black Heels in 2020

August 19, 2020

BLACK HEELS: STRAPPY KITTEN HEELS | FISHNET STILETTO HEELS | FEATHER STILETTO HEELS | HEELED MULES

THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY PUBLIC DESIRE BUT ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN.

In this particular year, I bet many are not very interested in wearing any kind of heels at the moment. We’re all stuck at home, and while many of us are piling on the comfies - fuzzy slippers, flats, just some socks, perhaps sans shoes and just going barefoot but why not mix things up from time to time? Like makeup, I use it as a tool to feel good and to do better. When I’m dressed like a slob, I don’t feel as productive when I do have a look put together. Nothing extreme, but yes, a little goes a long way. So the next time you’re loading up the dishwasher or having a zoom call, throw caution to the wind and wear your favorite heels! In today’s post I’m sharing 4 of my favorite trending black heels in 2020. Lots of square toes :) Continue reading to see more!

STRAPPY KITTEN HEELS

The Mika kitten heel features strappy front detail with a mid height heel at 2.5 inches. The perfect day to night heel you need! I love wearing them with jeans, skirts, dresses, pretty much everything! They’re very comfortable and definitely spruce up any outfit! I also really love the square toe fitting - really makes the shoe.

FISHNET STILETTO HEELS

The Anabela features a fishnet material, stiletto heel, gold chain detail and statement square toe. With a 3.5 inch heel, these baddies are most certainly edgy and chic. As Carrie Bradshaw once said, “I’m very, very comfortable in heels. The higher the better.” I definitely think our shoe gal would have approved of these.

FEATHER LACE UP STILETTO HEELS

The Fifi features a high stiletto heel with a lace up ankle strap and heel feather detailing. These are super cute and the perfect pair for any weekend look. I like to dress them up or down, but they look great with a cocktail dress! Definitely would wear them on a date night!

HEELED MULES

The Harlow features a PU mule upper, square toe and statement stiletto heel. The height of the heel is 3.5 inches, but this heeled mule is super comfy! Super great to run errands and work in. I definitely love to slip these cuties on before a conference call. They make me feel empowered and stylish at the same time!

How to Update the Back to Front Shirt Trend

October 3, 2016

WEARING: STEVEN LAND WHITE MEN'S TUX SHIRT | EXPRESS BLACK FLARE EDITOR PANT | 
DRESS LILY FRESH BLUE CROSSBODY BAG | BCBG PARIS BROWN SUEDE HEELED SANDALS | 
VAJZE ARTA RING | WEARVERONIKA NOEL CHOKER | UO BROWN WESTERN BELT

Happy Monday! How was everyone's weekend? We had a low key and cozy one for a change. For once I was able to unwind and just relax! And catch up on some much-needed sleep. And have brunch with an old gal pal. And editing, of course. ;) MaQ turned 4 on Saturday and because of the rain, we postponed his birthday plans until hopefully sometime next weekend. YES. My dog has birthday plans every year! I don't care what anyone thinks. He's only going to have so many birthdays, and I'm determined to making each one count! I was kind of bummed not being able to do what we initially had planned, but to be quite honest, I needed to recover from working non-stop since NYFW. After going weeks without a break, it's important to breathe and reboot. As much as I love going out, meeting new people and socializing, I also enjoy my alone time. It's where I gather my thoughts and inspirations, and try to creatively put together different points of view, whether from fashion or travel, or food, I want you to see my world from own personal style & taste.

An ongoing trend that started during Milan Fashion Week same time last year is the back to front shirt, where all types of buttoned down shirts are worn in reverse. The back in the front and the front in the back. Even during the latest interview I did on the blog, I helped style my goddaughter, Océane, in one of her boyfriend's white shirts, where I created an off-the-shoulder look and tied the sides of the shirt around her waist. Take a look here. I love how versatile and casually chic this look brings to the ordinary mundane white blouse. And in fashion, I love playing and mixing up with trends. In this case, one of my favorite trends happening on the runway right now, especially in Paris, is oversize everything. The extra layers and volume put a great twist on already trendsetting looks, such as the back to front shirt! Which is why I picked out my husband's white tux shirt with French cuffs. The sleeves are exaggerated to my petite frame, bringing attention to the shirt. I tied a small doubt-knot in the back leaving the front of the shirt unbuttoned to show a little skin.

What I also love about this style is you can pair the shirt with jeans or a nice flared pant, which I did here in this outfit. I love that you can wear this day to night, or work it with a skirt or even a maxi dress. There's so many ways to style the plain white shirt! Let's not forget to mention my favorite pieces of jewelry at the moment, the Arta ring from Vajzë and the Noel choker from Veronika. I'm obsessed with both; the gold dagger ring dazzled with clear crystals and the emerald gorgeousness from the choker. Talk about bead work too! Brown suede heeled sandals are BCBG Paris and the fresh blue-colored crossbody bag is from Dress Lily. Western-styled belt is from Urban Outfitters. To accentuate the green and blue colors from the accessories, I wore fuchsia colored lipstick and let the wind do it's thang to my mane. (Did not at all intend to rhyme. Nope, not one bit.) ;)
