I Know a Thing or Two About Shoes
Margaux
Shoes have always been more than just an accessory to me. They’ve been a huge part of my career, my personal style, and honestly, my fashion education.
Before becoming a personal stylist, I spent most of my career in the shoe business working across sales, product development, fit, fabrication, and luxury fashion. I’ve spent years understanding what makes a shoe not only beautiful, but wearable. I know how a shoe should fit, how leather should feel, how proportions can completely change an outfit, and why the right shoe can instantly modernize your wardrobe.
And after decades in fashion, one thing remains true: a great shoe has the power to transform how you feel.
It can elevate the simplest outfit.
It can give you confidence.
And it can completely change the energy of how you walk into a room.
Which is why I’m incredibly selective about the brands I recommend to my clients.
Lately, one brand I continue coming back to again and again is Margaux.
Founded in New York, Margaux was created with the idea that women shouldn’t have to choose between style and comfort. The brand has become known for beautifully crafted shoes designed for real life — thoughtfully made, versatile, elegant, and genuinely comfortable. Their shoes are handmade in Spain and offered in extended sizing and multiple widths, which is something I deeply appreciate after years of understanding just how important fit truly is.
What I love most is that Margaux shoes feel timeless without feeling boring. They have that polished, understated luxury feel that works so well for the women I style every day.
They’re the kinds of shoes you actually wear.
To appointments.
To dinners.
Traveling.
Running around the city.
School events.
Weekend lunches.
Real life.
And for my clients especially, comfort matters. But so does looking elevated and current. Margaux strikes that balance beautifully.
The Styles I’m Currently Coveting
The POINTE
We are fully in the era of the ballet flat again, but this time they feel refined, modern, and incredibly chic. I’m loving them paired back to relaxed denim, tailored trousers, slip skirts, and even shorts for summer.
The ALBA
I also love this one with a more pronounced toe, so chic!
The FLAT SANDAL
What I love most about the flat sandals from Margaux is that they strike that perfect balance between polished and easy. They’re refined without feeling overly precious, which makes them ideal for real life and exactly the kind of pieces I’m always looking for when styling clients. They’re also incredibly comfortable.
The SELENE
What I love most about the flat sandals from Margaux is that they strike that perfect balance between polished and easy. They’re refined without feeling overly precious, which makes them ideal for real life and exactly the kind of pieces I’m always looking for when styling clients.
When I’m styling clients, I often find that updating the shoes is what finally makes the outfit click.
You can wear the same blazer you’ve owned for years, but when you pair it with updated denim and the right shoe, suddenly the entire look feels current again.
Shoes set the tone.
They communicate energy, confidence, personality, and style literacy before you even say a word.
And after spending decades in the shoe industry, I can tell you this: the best shoes are the ones that combine craftsmanship, comfort, and timeless style.
That’s why I continue recommending brands like Margaux to my clients — because beautiful shoes should support your life, not slow you down.
