Hot Footing It

HOT FOOTING IT
GET READY TO STEP LIVELY THIS SEASON WITH THE PRETTIEST PARTY SHOES,
THE COZIEST WINTER BOOTS AND A PAIR OF CASUAL KICKS

Party Time

What holiday look would be complete without a pretty bow? This sweet decoration adds the finishing touch on sexy heels in metallic shades
($280, Stuart Weitzman, www.bloomingdales.com) or the classic Mary Jane for girls ($44, Nina, www.shoes.com).

Patent leather is all the rave this holiday season. From classic black to cherry red, moms ($280, Stuart Weitzman, www.stuartweitzman.com) and little ladies alike ($55, Umi, www.umishoes.com) will shine on the party circuit this season.

Boot Up


It's time to break out the boots. Casual knee-high looks for moms and girls feature a modern felt cuff ($200, Merrell, www.merrell.com) or bright, geometric embroidery ($95, Umi, www.umishoes.com), while a traditional slip-on style ($150, Timberland, www.timberland.com ) fits dad to a tee.


Cold weather calls for cozy boots, but that doesn't mean the whole family should sacrifice fashion for function. Moms will love these modern refined styles, ($130, Merrell, www.merrell.com) dads will appreciate traditional silhouettes in classic leather ($110, Sorel, www.sorel.com) and these boots in pastel pink suede, will be fun and functional for kids ($90, Ugg, www.uggaustrailia.com).

Cruise On

If you're saying so long to Jack Frost, this year and planning to spend the holidays sipping piña coladas on the beach, then stay casual—and comfortable—with a pair of cool kicks in classic patterns for men ($45, Sperry, www.sperrytopsider.com) and women ($45, Vans, www.vans.com).
