STEP INTO SPRING

                  

             

                   

            

                  

You don’t have to say a word this spring, let your shoes do the all the talking for you. I’ve picked a few of my favorites, Metallics by Manolo Blahnik at saks.com and Tom Ford Metallic Python at neimanmarcus.com Another big shoe trend to add to your “Must Have” list is the Perforated shoe by Jimmy Choo at saks.com Embellished styles are my go to’s this spring. Check out the Valentino RockStud at neimanmarcus.com and Gianvito Rossi Studded net-a-porter.com 

Check out Vivica A. Fox in Jason Wu as she co-hosted with Anderson Cooper last week on Anderson Live. Both Cooper and Fox defended Oscar winner Anne Hathaway, who was scrutinized from the dress she wore to the Academy Awards to her acceptance speech. 

You can catch more of Ms. Fox in Mr. Box Office, a new sit-com starring opposite Bill Bellamy and Jon Lovitz. Check local listings show times! Stay tuned, there is more to come of Vivica’s trip to the White House
