There is a hot trend in shoes on the streets, and it is taking fashionable closets by storm. Fashionistas have been spotted everywhere wearing high heeled, black sandals, which can double as pumps, with laces! That’s right! The hottest shoe trend to hit the streets is the laced up high heeled sandal.

This hot shoe trend hit the streets back in spring 2013, but it did not explode until winter 2014. Not dominant on the runway, consumers favored the style when it hit store shelves earlier this year and in response, designers, brands and stores have stocked their shelves for the fall/winter 2013/2014 season with the daring style. This is not a conservative look; these shoes are attention grabbers!

There are several variations of the laced up high heel shoe. Some designers have a true lace-up where the wearer must tie her shoes, while others have false laces that look more like a series of thin straps rather than laces. Both styles are relevant, and fit perfectly into this hot trend.

The laced-up high heel is a great addition to any Fashionistas’ wardrobe. The shoe style can be worn dressed up with skirts, dresses and trousers as well as casually with denim skirts, jeans and sweat-suit trousers. They can be worn during the day, or for evening events. This is one versatile shoe style!

I found a few fabulous pairs of laced-up high heels in black; the hottest hue for this even hotter street style trend. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Here it is! The fabulous dress I picked out during my visit to the Jigsaw London San Francisco shop last week. I adored the entire collection in the store and wished I could bring home all three of the dresses I tried on, but this one was the winner! I wore this dress to my cousin’s wedding in Sonoma. It was perfect. The long sleeves kept the crisp, evening fog from giving me a chill and the dress was easy to dance the night away in! Love that!

The print was also a hit with my family! They loved it; and it also happens to be an exclusive print designed especially for Jigsaw London! I love exclusivity!

I love the high quality of Jigsaw London’s clothing, comfortable fabrics and flattering cuts. It is my new favorite store! What are your favorite pieces from Jigsaw London? To view the collection, please visit Jigsaw-London.com.

Jigsaw London on Fillmore Street in San Francisco held a fabulous shopping event on November 7, 2013 which helped kick off the holiday shopping season. The store was jam-packed with customers shopping for the holidays; as well as themselves!

I was impressed with the delightful treats and champagne which were placed at the front of the store among beautiful clothing and accessories. Not only was I surrounded by a festive atmosphere, I was surrounded by beautiful clothes! Even the décor was amazing. I fell in love with everything hanging on the wall!

Jigsaw London has a beautiful collection filled with Holiday ensembles, dressy attire and daytime looks. I feel in the love with the three dresses shown in the photo above. Of course, one of those dresses came home with me! Which dress do you think I picked? Stay tuned to find out which dress I decided to keep!
