Bar III Shoe Launch + Fall '14 Preview

Bar III Shoe Launch + Fall '14 Preview

Last week I attended a carnival theme launch party for Macy’s private brand, bar III. The music was bumping by DJ Harley Newton, there was popcorn and cotton candy and my favorite the Bosco photo booth. I love to taking spontaneous pictures.

Bar III is stepping (no pun intended) into new territory for Fall 2014 with the launch of bar III shoes for women.  Attending the launch, there will be 17 styles priced from $49 to $199. The collection makes its debut in August 2014 and will be sold exclusively at select Macy’s stores and on macys.com.

Get It Now: Birkenstock Sandals

Get It Now: Birkenstock Sandals

For the past few weeks Lucky Magagzine's EIC and Social media maven, Eva Chen has been sending us hints with her footwear. If you're not following her please do, she's a wealth of knowledge and style. One of the thing she does is post an insta of her shoes and bag almost daily. Lately, she's been posting her various Birkenstocks. Now I've been seeing a few people wearing them out and about. Birkenstocks is that shoe that people thinks it's completely ugly or they chose to wear it with a twist (a al Eva). If Eva is not convincing enough Celine and Miu Miu and  had their own versions of the Birkenstocks on their Spring '13 runways.
