Hive 5: Shorties Unite Behind Nude Pumps!

How would you like to be taller? Well there's a bit of fashion magic that creates the illusion of added height - nude heels! They work by elongating the leg. A heel in any other tone will create contrast cutting the leg line at the ankle. The nude color actually works to extend the leg. And since the color is neutral and blends in, the heels go with everything. This versatility makes nude heels a wonderful investment. For a funky vibe check out Chloe's thick heeled pump with a collared edge and bonus hidden platform, invest in a pair of Christian Louboutin heels in patent leather, or opt keep your look classic with Kate Spade's renditions in suede and ostrich embossed leather. More styles and details are in the SLIDESHOW - so get clicking!

Well, just everyone from Marc Jacobs to Allen Schwartz to American Apparel, to name a few. Thanks to them and many more, I'll be taking home the gold, the silver, and the bronze.
