February’s Most Coveted: Angel Wings

Posted on February 9, 2015 by Trends & Tribulations

Romeo climbs into the garden of his beloved and tells Juliet ‘With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls, for stony limits cannot hold love out.’

Most females (and men) out there are in awe of the beauty of the Victoria’s Secret angels, as well as the creativity shown in each of their annual fashion shows.

Taking some fashion inspiration from them, along with the genius known as Sophia Webster, angel wings are a beautiful complement to the season’s ethereal mood. From earrings to vests to heels, and from angel to butterfly to dragonfly wings, these romantic details add a subtle feminine touch to any outfit.

SHOE PORN THURSDAY: Sophia Webster

Every week, I have to convince myself to expand beyond the Sophia Webster website for SPT. Some weeks are harder than others (thanks a lot, miss Webster…). She’s found the perfect balance for us 20 & 30 -something’s that relish in the Lisa Frank/90’s nostalgia and complementing perfectly with modern day chic.

Take these baby blue Louby’s (below) for example. They are adorned with embroidered flowers and lavender rabbit fur trim, while contrasting beautifully with the black and white striped heel. Not to mention, mules are pretty much everywhere this season, and are versatile enough to wear alone or with tights.

And if you must… Net-a-Porter has an equally adorable pair in black (gasp!).

Patent leather is generally not my favorite covering for high heels. However, when it’s combined with killer heels– in the most literal sense- it’s absolutely amazing. Check out these bad boys by one of my favorite shoe designers, Sophia Webster, below.

Butterfly cutouts in heels are a huge trend for this upcoming Spring & Summer 2014. Check out this gorgeous gold and black sandal heel by Sergio Rossi.

Sergio Rossi, $1,150

The laser-cut butterfly adds a touch of glamour, while the black sandal strap balances out the shoe to allow versatility to dress down or up. My favorite part is the ornately decorated gold heel. Wear them with an a-line skirt and gold jewelry, or as a perfect complement to a LBD.

You can find more colorful options of butterfly decorated heels in Sophia Webster’s Spring/Summer 2014 collection (see below).

Sophia Webster is a shoe designer who can do no wrong in my eyes. Every one of her collections is filled with whimsical patterns, bright colors, all finished with a unique, quirky touch. This darling pair is called “Lilico“. The black and white polka dots and stripes are perfectly contrasted by the flower corsage on the toe, and right on trend for Spring.
