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 Suz15Spring25

ALICIA NUTMEG CAPRETTO

The Alicia in Nutmeg Capretto is the latest INEZ statement sandal featuring thin, elegant straps and a perfectly balanced stiletto heel. The crisscrossing design holds the foot securely, while a custom designed insole redistributes pressure and provides unexpected agility. The perfect neutral strappy sandal heel for the spring/summer!

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!

The Art of Spring Suiting

April 25, 2024

The art of spring suiting is the hot topic of the season. When most think of a suit, one may think of a boardroom, in a certain office setting where one needs to look professional. The other part to the suit is its overall confidence it exudes both within ourselves and onto others. But is the suit only suitable in a certain environment? Your girl is here to say NO WAY! If you’re looking for a fresh option this spring, with the addition of feeling super empowered while remaining stylishly chic, here are five suits that are great for not just the corporate look, but also any evening event such as a date night, a party or even a run to your local market.
