The Steve Madden Diaries: Chapter 1

A pair of shoes has the ability to completely transform and change an outfit. When it comes to purchasing heels, the two most essential pairs that should be in every wardrobe are a pump and a wedge.  
The Pump 

A classic pump can literally take you from the boardroom to the ballroom. A pump is not only versatile, but transeasonal. Most opt for a black or nude pump however, depending on the seasonal trend, may opt for a little colour, print or metallic.  How to wear a simple pump?  Look no further than Olivia Palermo, spotted all over Fashion Week wearing a black pump.  

Rachel Bilson has opted for something a little different wearing a lilac pump with her outfit. 

Get the Look: My pick this season would have to be Steve Madden's Bevv Pump available in black, red, blush, leopard and even glitter metallic! 

The Wedge 
The wedge not only looks amazing, but offers the most support. Whether it's a peeptoe or closed wedge, you really can't go wrong. Take a cue from Lauren Conrad and Clemence Poesy, opting to wear a black wedge. 

Get the Look:  My pick this season would have to be Steve Madden's Westii available in black suede, leopard and natural fabric.
