10 Shoes Every Woman Should Own

Nude Peep Toe Pumps

These are the automatic make-my-legs-look-like-a-Victoria's-Secret-model shoes. Not to mention that they go with absolutely everything and show off a cute pedicure.

"Sandie" by Calvin Klein, $108 at Zappos

Black City Boots

These boots are great for work, meeting for drinks, or shopping on the weekend. Just make sure the heel isn't too high so you'll really be able to walk for miles in them. These boots have a stretch calf for an easy fit too!

"Loanna" by Calvin Klein, $99 at Piperlime

Black Ballet Flats

Flats are a must have for gals who want to be comfortable and fashionable at the same time. I would suggest black or another neutral so that you can wear it with any outfit. I love this pair by Me Too. This shoe line has built-in padding in all the right places so you won't have to worry about breaking them in.

Wooden Platform Sandals

These shoes are great for looking stylish in the summer and they are perfect for summer outdoor parties. I prefer wedges rather than heels since I find them more comfortable and the heels won't sink into the grass.

Canvas Sneakers

Comfort, reliability, and easy on the go. What more could you need?

Converse Jack Purcell CP OX, $50 at Piperlime

Black Pumps

Blank pumps are great for work, going out, meeting for drinks, dates, almost any occasion you can think of. If you only buy one shoe for yourself, this would be the one to go for.

Metallic Sandals

Get a pair in gold and another pair in silver. That way you'll have a pair to match any dress you have for a wedding or formal event. It's always great to have them at the ready.

Silver Pair: Ivanka Trunp "Doublet" $140 at Bloomingdales

Gold Pair: Jimmy Choo Wavy Strap Sandal, $695 at Neiman Marcus

Suede Booties

These boots are great for fall, most of my boots are suede. You can wear them with skinny jeans or trousers. But be sure to waterproof them in case of rainy weather.

Flat Leather Sandals

Leather sandals are my summer staple. You can wear them with shorts and a fun tee or with a sun dress. Make sure if you get a pair that they are comfortable and in a neutral because you will definitely be wearing them a lot.

Gorgeous Shoes To Splurge On That Make You Happy

Every girl deserves a pair of shoes that are just for fun! Sometimes it's best to get fun shoes that you know you'll get a chance to wear often and not just sit in your closet. If you go to a lot of formal events, get fun party heels. Cute yet comfortable you're staple? Get flats. Do you live in an eternally cold climate where it would be totally unreasonable to buy anything besides boots? Invest in embellished ankle or knee boots. Sunny climate? Get sandals. Workaholic? Invest in cute work heels that you can show off!
