Kate Spade black patent leather 'Salma' Mary Jane pumps
First to recommend
Description
Kate Spade, I love you. Some days you go a little crazy, but most days you are the picture of preppy perfection. These Mary Janes are a little bit more grown up. Same cut of a shoe, but slimmer and with a little extra height. Black and shiny patent means they'll shine their way through the days and maybe even shimmer a tiny bit on a weekend night.

Elie Tahari black brushed wool 'Jane' patent belt coat
First to recommend
Description
Military coats have always impressed me slightly. I like a good collar, a thick belt and those rows of buttons. Done up in black and with a little bit of patent. Feel like a colonel...of style. It's perfect for marching out the last bits of winter

Prada fuchsia patent leather classic pumps
First to recommend
Description
I still remember when that Aqua song came out, you know the one. As much as I wished I could say my strong woman self was up in arms about the objectification of women, but even in my innocent high school fervor I couldn't. I found it catchy!
And now the shoes, these beautiful pink plastic (well patent) Prada pumps come. The heel is significantly high while still being low enough for daily wear (unlike my last sky high pair of pink patent heels). The pink is an amazingly bright (so barbie girl!) pink. Life in plastic, it's fantastic.

Kate Spade camel patent 'Gala' slingbacks
First to recommend
Description
The best part of about spring is the lack of snow on the sidewalks. I love snow and all of the associated snow related activities, but, it's murder on my shoes. My pretty suede boots get bent out of shape and my peep toed pumps gets my toes all wet. In eager anticipation of spring, these peep toes patent camel and black pumps can't wait to clack on the pavement. In addition to adoring the colors (camel and black, you match so much of my wardrobe), the slingback and almost kitten heeled nature of these shoes makes me look out the winter and fervently wish that the snow on those sidewalks would melt.

Yoana Baraschi black stretch knit 'Dina' patent trim skirt
First to recommend
Description
When I as a young girl, I used to love watching my mother get ready to go to work. She always looked so professional. Suit skirts, starched shirts and a nice jacket...to a five year old it all seemed so glamourous. Now that casual Friday has crept into corporate culture, you don't see as many skirts as I used to. None the less, I still like to find a nice skirt to wear for work or, just around. This black knee length skirt looks like it would sit at that perfect length and would look professional in either the work world or in daily life. Plus the little hint of patent makes it slightly more than just my mother's wardrobe.

Dolce & Gabbana ivory quilted patent peep toe pumps
First to recommend
Description
Quilted barn jackets, quilted vests, quilted purses....is there anything that quilting doesn't make better? These quilted pumps from Dolce & Gabbana make me realize shoes are just another logical step in the "what-can-quilted-make-better" contest. These peep toe ivory quilted pumps with a silver buckle and silver rivets scream that they would be ready for a casual day or a nice Sunday brunch.

Elie Tahari black patent leather 'Kristy' short swing coat
First to recommend
Description
When I was in college we had this vintage dance, now I never particularly got along with my roommate, but she did have this fantastic closet. It was stuffed with finds from the local vintage store and one of my favorite pieces that she had was glorious full length swing coat. I've had a weakness for swing coats ever since. And this patent swing raincoat is no exception. Three-quarter sleeves and my favorite type of cut combine to make a glorious raincoat that will be perfect for the soon to come winter days.

Gucci black patent 'Shield' ankle boots
First to recommend
Description
These boots were made for walking and that's jut what I'll do....walk all over life. There is something about late winter that makes me want to bust out my boots. And these black, shiny patent leather boots with a phenomenal stiletto heel are perfect for walking. I enjoy the little gold medallion on the side and the discreet gold rivet on the back of the heel. I'm thinking over a darker than midnight denim skinny jean.

Burberry Patent Wristlet
First to recommend
Description
There is something about Chanel Vamp that makes you feel special. It's deep red almost brown/black color is magnificent. So imagine my happy surprise when I saw this burberry patent wristlet. It's almost in Chanel vamp. It's shiny, it's quilted, it's so dark red and it has that hint of silver. Makes me want to take notice.

Burberry Prorsum Ruched Trench
First to recommend
Description
Ruffles! Patent! Black! Burberry! This trench coat is so pretty, I think I might want to make it a dress...though it would do wonderfully as a trench coat too. It has seemingly miles and miles of ruffled silk and is cinched by a broad band of patent. A trench like this deserves to shine. Perfect for a night out over that "oh-so-short" minidress.
