    I’m a footwear fanatic, and my love for shoes shines brightest this time of year. There’s something about the sparkle of the holidays that inspires me to step up my footwear game for every outfit. A jeweled pump? Sign me up. A kitten heel with the largest bow you’ve ever seen? Why not? ’Tis the season to dress up, after all, and no one knows that better than my stylish colleagues. While we have unique styles, there’s one thing we can all agree on: Nine West has the most confidence-boosting footwear on the market. Whether it’s a knee-high moto boot or cherry-red slingback, this buzzy brand’s on-trend shoes make every holiday look a 10 out of 10. Keep scrolling to shop the pairs my co-workers are styling and gifting this holiday season.
