Fall is (almost) here and if there’s one must-have color this season it’s grey. It works well with everything from the plaid button-downs and skinny cords of Campus-Casual to the olive greens, tailored cargos and brass buttons of Military-Chic. Whether you’re going to work in an office or out dancing with the girls, there’s a grey shoe for you. You’re guaranteed to look cool and current. I mean, you should probably wear a cute out too…

It’s a sad time, as our girl Lindsey has joined the ranks of Paris Hilton, Khloe KaRdashian, and Martha Stewart, in jail. Everybody makes mistakes, and we love our misguided celebs, so I’m not judging. I’m just wondering, what kind of shoes do they wear with the orange jump suit? It’s a tough color, and no-doubt a tough cut, but perhaps with the right shoes and maybe a brooch and a cute coiffure, it’s possible to look cute.
Try these, ladies!

If you have never seen a play before, admittedly detest musicals, or have attended all of the plays currently out on Broadway the Tony Awards most likely still provided you with some entertainment. Even if you have no idea what the plotline for “A View From the Bridge” is, or why Scarlett Johansson won Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play, we all scoped out the outfits on the Red Carpet.
This process of judging the outfits of celebrities never gets old, regardless of the occasion. They can be going to the supermarket and still every component of the way they dress will be fair game to our criticism. Not so fun for them, but a great pastime for us!
So after scrutinizing these celebs from head to toe, I’ve found some Barefoot Tess shoes that have made the cut for the 2010 Tony Awards fashion scene. If you’re a fan of Laura Linney, take a look at the Renata Heel by A. Marinelli. If Kristin Chenoweth is more your style, you will like the BFT Kitten Heel. And if you R-E-S-P-E-C-T Aretha Franklin, check out the “Vaunt” heel by A. Marinelli.

Happy Birthday to Natalie Portman today!
Although assuming by her petite stature that her feet don’t quite fit Barefoot Tess standards, her sense of style and superb acting skills make her an icon to all. Her memorable performance in “Garden State” had quite an influence on all its viewers. In fact, after seeing the movie some people even threw out the notion that New Jersey is the “armpit” of the United States (although “Jersey Shore” brought the state’s reputation back to square one…) “Closer” is another movie that resonates with people after they’ve watched it, and her role certainly contributes to this phenomenon.
She’s even expanded her versatility to our favorite subject, SHOES. Ms. Portman has revealed to the world her green side and is in the process of promoting Vegan shoes. Her passion of protecting our furry friends is contagious, and if you’ve fallen under her spell you should take a look at the Vegan shoes that Barefoot Tess has to offer!

ANNIE is returning to Broadway! Annie is the Depression-era fairy tale of a lucky orphan in a red dress, a bathtub gin-drunk orphanage proprietress, a dancer named Grace, and a bald Robber Baron. Tap dancing ensues.
One of the greatest upshots of the musical’s hitting Broadway once again, aside from the fact that we can all go and see it at least once a month because it’s going to be that good, is the style influence it’s bound to spur. Stick with me and you’ll be ahead of the curve. It is my pleasure to introduce Orphan Chic. The key to the look is subdued colors, a little mange, and a broken locket. It creates an outfit in which you can go to the movies or drop to all fours and scrub the floor while singing. You’ll look sassy and scrappy and adorable. Insider’s tip: the look works best on a day that you skip washing your hair. Enjoy!

We all know the problem well: too-short pants. Jeans that are an appropriate length are tough to find for long-legged girls. And even when they’re available, they love to shrink upon first wash. It’s also not a problem that just plagues girls. You can always tell when my best friend has washed his jeans because they are hanging from his sprinkler system pipes all over his living room.
This is a serious dilemma, not meant to be taken lightly, but this season there is a lucky silver lining. Ankle-length pants are in! So save those skinny jeans you had given up on and wear them with some sleek flats. The look is smart and chic and goes just as well with a baggy v-neck tee as it does with a flouncy blouse. The best part is that you get to recycle the clothes you had previously written off, but never got rid of because you couldn’t bear it. They used to be so cute! Well girlfriend, they still are!
