Hi love,
Welcome to the very first edition of the I Want Her Shoes newsletter — your new go-to for all things stylish, empowering, and unapologetically fabulous.
I’m Anna — a mom, tech entrepreneur, and lifelong fashion devotee. I launched my first eBay store at 16, always chasing style on my own terms. Over the years, every milestone — personal and professional — has been marked with something special, often in the form of exquisite designer shoes. What started as thoughtful rewards has grown into a beautifully curated collection that reflects my journey.
But fashion, to me, is about far more than what’s hanging in my closet. It’s how I show up for myself. Getting dressed every day gives me confidence and creativity. These days, style has become my signature. It’s the way I claim my space and signal who I am without saying a word. And yet, the most common question I still get from friends — and ask myself — is timeless: Where are we going, how are we feeling… and what are we going to wear?
That’s why I created this newsletter — a place to answer that question together and help us all feel inspired, stylish, and empowered no matter the occasion.
Each week, I’ll be sharing:
• 👠 Closet-worthy fashion finds you’ll want to wear on repeat
• ✨ Insider style tips that make getting dressed feel effortless
• 👕 Trend inspiration to help you step out with confidence
• 👛 Behind-the-closet peeks from my personal collection
Whether you’re leading the boardroom, running errands in your power flats, or slipping into something bold for a night out — this space is yours.
To kick things off, I’ve rounded up five of the most sought-after fashion trends this season — from ballet sneakers to satin skirts — plus a little outfit inspo to spark your next style moment.
I’m so grateful to be able to share this space with you and build this beautiful style-forward community. Let’s make getting dressed the most powerful part of your day.
With love + style,
Anna, Your Editor & Host

Spring 2025 is all about confident statements and thoughtful nostalgia. These are the five trends I’m paying attention to — with my honest take on each.
Ballet Sneakers — A Delicate Twist on Streetwear
• Trend Insight: Ballet elegance meets urban ease.
• Style Tip: Pair with cropped trousers or midi skirts for an effortless look.
• Editor’s Take: Not entirely my go-to, but the Louis Vuitton version— is tempting. If I lean in, I’m going all the way.
Bold Florals — Graphic and Grown-Up
• Trend Insight: Oversized, moody florals feel refreshingly modern.
• Style Tip: Let florals stand out with understated accessories.
• Editor’s Take: Completely here for this. I love mixing florals to create unexpected combinations that still feel polished.
Denim Reinvented — Beyond Jeans
• Trend Insight: Tailored vests, structured jackets, and accessories take denim into elevated territory.
• Style Tip: Mix tones confidently and pair with silk or satin for contrast. Editor’s Take: Denim is a forever staple, especially with bold colors — think Miami pinks and whites.

Statement Hats — The Ultimate Finishing Touch

Out + About: Coachella First-Timer Recap
Yes, I finally did Coachella. And no, it wasn’t what I expected.
Despite the hype, most people wore as little as possible — think see-through jumpsuits and bikinis barely covering anything. But that didn’t stop me. I dressed to the nines every day because that’s what makes me feel incredible.
My takeaways:
• Style for yourself — even if others don’t.
• Charli XCX and Green Day stole the weekend.
• Confidence always wins over trends.
