Weaving through the in’s and outs of each season’s, must do, must not, must have, want, need, etc can be exhausting and daunting for most of us. This week what inspired me most was the word simplify. Don’t get me wrong, I love the fancy, tricky, loud, over the top outfits and accessories as much as the next girl, but sometimes in the fast pace of all our lives it feels nice to get back to the basics. Here are four photos that inspired me this week to bring it back to the simple elegance that your outfits can be with great neutrals (yes gold is a “neutral”). They go with everything and in the wise words of one of my dear friends, “there is nothing like a good nude!”

Spring 2012 is just around the corner and boy what a splash it will make. Spring shook up the fall 2011 runways for good reason, it is bolder and brighter then ever! While fall and winter are my favorite fashion seasons I have never been so excited for spring styles. Looking through trend reports and new items on all my e-shopping haunts left me feeling exhilarated, refreshed, and enlightened. The first spring trend to tackle is neon. I mean it is EVERYWHERE, there is no category that it has not taken over and with these pictures you will see why. I have never seen colors translated this beautifully and so richly.
This trend has permeated so deeply and I can’t say I have seen anything like it; from beauty, to shoes, handbags, clothing, accessories and even home decor! It all started with the runways and after that ways to incorporate neon with neutrals or as pops of color in your outfits. But alas for the bold and the brave full neon head to toe will leave anyone in the limelight of perfection!
Ways to incorporate these neon pops of color!
Swim is a great place to use your neon!
Not for the faint of heart or spirit! The full on outfit!

I just can not help myself from re-posting these pics for you all. I saw them on a blog by Saks Fifth Ave http://10022-shoe.tumblr.com/ and I just LOVE them. If you are shoe obsessed as I am then they will really resonate with you. Shoes and coffee, shoes and wine, shoes and cake. Shoes and ??? I am convinced I could add any word in there and it would be a complete sentence.

We all struggle with how to creatively display our shoes in our closet without them taking up too much room. Some of us have huge closets and still those little suckers end up everywhere! Here are some helpful tips to get your shoes where they belong! Stop the sole searching!
I feel like this picture deserved it’s own category! I just LOVE it. All you have to do is take crown molding, paint it a fun color and nail them in rows against a blank wall. Perfect way to display your shoes like art! Courtesy of www.pinterest.com.
If you have the room, drawers are a perfect way to hide your shoes. These can be in the open in your room or hide under your top hanging bar in your closet. The first 2 are from www.homedecoraters.com and the last on is from www.walmart.com.
Shoe cubbies are also great for hiding in your closet under your top bar. What’s great about the first one is that you can add little baskets and store all your flip flops and flats in one bin and have the rest for your heels or purses. The woven baskets in the middle are great to pile your work out shoes, sandals, flip flops and flats. While the next one solves the issue of boots taking up valuable space on your floor. Last you have the classic shoe tree which can tuck into any corner. From left to right they are from www.containerstore.com, www.pinterest.com, www.shopgetorganized.com, & www.containerstore.com.
My favorite way to organize shoes is in bins. You can pile all the same type of shoe into one and you know where they are and will look through it to get the pair you want. The first 2 are great for flip flops, sandals, flats and athletic shoes. The last 2 are great if you have shelves and want to protect those precious shoes that you break out for a night out on the town. These are all from www.containerstore.com.
And when all else fails and you have no more room, use the first on for your flip flops and sandals, the second one is for under bed storage and the end all be all over the door rack. The first 2 are from www.containerstore.com and the last one is from www.shopgetorganized.com.
