So they might look a tad granny-ish, but I am convinced that granny chic is coming back! Pearls, ladylike cardigans, sugar-free hard candy hidden in every nook.... I am all aboard that train! Even if you aren’t, these flats by Sergio Rossi are still a must-have!

Alberta Ferretti shoes for under a hundred and fifty bucks? Yes please! These cork peep-toes are just the right amount of glitz without that eighties-style flashy feel. They would be perfect with a cute sundress or peeking out underneath a long pair of jeans.

Have you ever felt so lucky that it's like Christmas, your birthday, and New Year's Eve all rolled into one moment? That's how I felt when I learned that these Vanessa Bruno sandals were on sale. The coolest one-band styling and bone-colored suede, and all at a measly $141.60 (down from $472)? I'd better go out and buy that lottery ticket, just in case...

Just like oil and water, acids and bases, and fire and ice, punk and preppy are two entities that were born never to mix. That is, until now. Meet the Judy Punk Loafer: One part bright blue preppy loafer, one part gold-studded punk footwear. With these two opposing looks in one shoe, I think this might just be the sign that the apocalypse is coming. Well, at least you can greet the end of the world in stylish footwear.

OK, so if you're like me you're getting a little sick of the whole gladiator heel thing. I love them, but they're so ubiquitous now that I'm looking for the next step in the trend. I think I've found it with these cool Bellebrook Zip Back Heels from Mogil. Gladiator styling, but with a twist. Namely, twisted crossed camel leather straps and a zipper closure on the back of a 3-inch wood heel. Go ahead, show those goddesses at the forum who the real trendsetter is.
