I’m still obsessed with flat boots, and I spotted these Cole Haan boots at Macy’s the other day, and I just love them! Cole Haan isn’t on my radar that much because I feel like often times the comfort level sacrifices style, but I do love this Air Reina boot. It's great because it combines a wedge boot with their amazing Nike Air Technology. In other words, these babies are going to be as comfortable as a pair of sneakers!
I like the subtle wedge, and I also love the patent. It takes a casual boot and makes it slightly more dressy. I would pair these boots with anything from dresses to jeans, but when I first saw them I imagined wearing them with a houndstooth coat in a trench style and my new black wool cloche hat. I couldn’t find exactly what I was thinking about, but the boots would look great with any of the coats below!

Last week we discussed the importance of a classic black pump. If you missed it, you can read it here. And now we continue our series on Building a Shoe Wardrobe with the ballet flat.
If you read any style book, there is always a list of items that one needs to build a basic wardrobe. They usually include things like a little black dress, well-fitting jeans and a trench coat, to name a few. It’s also usually advised to invest your money in these basics, making sure they are well made, of good quality, fit well and will stand the test of time.
Shoes make up a very important component of what you wear. I’ll admit that it’s usually the first thing I check out when people watching. If you’re just now entering the world of designer shoes or you desperately need to edit your wardrobe, this is the article for you. Also if you find yourself buying pair after pair of cheaper shoes, it might be a good idea to cut back and save your money for a few pair of really good shoes.
We’ve compiled a list of what we consider to be the basics that every woman should own. I would suggest investing more on these pieces, but I’ve included some less expensive options as well, but they’re all well made shoes.

I love the idea of Cole Haan shoes. I am fascinated by the technology, and I really applaud them for trying to make women’s shoes more comfortable. However, many times, comfort = unsexy granny shoes. But I do think these wedges are cute. I love the bright colors. They’re fun for summer, and you can even wear them with dressier outfits, especially when your feet need a break!
You can find these wedges at Bloomingdale's or the company's website, but I prefer the bright colors for summer that Bloomindale's offers. The black or the anthracite (at ColeHaan.com) would work into the fall season though!
