Suede's texture, patent's shine, ornate embellishments, and warm rich tones-of F/W shoes transition well-when worn with heavier fabrics of colder climes- as well as lighter attire for  summery days.


NINA-LOVE dapper menswear inspired lace-ups for the ladies-pointy toe silhouettes and solid block heel-make these sexy and comfy choice for office dresses/suits-to night's out frocks/denim. Probably the most versatile shoe to add to one's footwear arsenal.
