Step into Spring with this season’s hottest shoe trends hand-picked by the Monif C. styling team!

From sexy and strappy to chunky and eccentric, a well chosen shoe changes the game no matter your dress size.

We love a metallic wedge with a tasteful romper (Stay Tuned!) for a day of shopping. Or a pretty pastel sandal with a trendy white dress (More to Come!) for a girl’s brunch.

Take part in Spring’s black and white trend with a printed wedge. Style this shoe with one of our brightly colored Marilyn Convertible dresses in Tangerine or Periwinkle for a trendy, sophisticated look.

Last but not least, sink you teeth into this summer’s sun-kissed citrus inspired trend. From a day dress to a night out, fruity hues in patent leather really make an outfit this season, and add lady-like charm to your wardrobe. Orange you glad?

Indulge!

Our Top 3 Favorite Spring 2013 Trends

Monif — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 21:49:56 +0000

BLACK AND WHITE

This spring black and white graces numerous runways. A once very stark concept gets invigorated with a fresh and playful look and feel. From stripes to prints and even color blocking, this trend is prominent this season. Just about every designer has incorporated the trend in their Spring 2013 collections. From Alexander Wang, Chanel, Givenchy, to Tom Ford and so many more.

Marc Jacobs

Oscar De La Renta

Chanel

FLOUNCES AND RUFFLES

This season feminine ruffles and flounces are married with a modern edgy flair. We like to call this the era of “Lady-like Redefined”. Strong silhouettes and bold contrast make this trend relevant to the modern woman. Detailing such as this can be seen from designers like Chloe, Gucci, and Balenciaga this Spring.

Givenchy

Balenciaga

Gucci

DARE TO BE SHEER

We LOVE sheer panels, Inserts and ethereal flowing dresses for spring. Women are reclaiming their right to be sexy, light, and free this season. This trend works perfectly from day to evening. Such designers as Tom Ford, Donna Karen, and Helmut Lang are giving this trend a fresh take.

Tom Ford

Missoni

Giorgio Armani

In the spirit of loving our fabulous customers, a few months back we did a photoshoot featuring 3 of our customers made over in some of our favorite holiday dresses. We asked each lady to bring the outfit they wore last year for a holiday party, a hot date, and their birthday party just so you can see how a fab dress, some hair and makeup can really up your look! So without further ado, here are the fab ladies!

Denise is a long time customer and with her tall frame and fabulous legs we decided to dress her in the “Miranda” Draped Jersey Gown in Emerald Green!
