Gorgeous Paris Hilton Destiny Pumps

Star Stevenson — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 16:00:55 +0000

I was browsing through Macy’s and fell in love with these peep toe pumps at first glance. I didn’t realize they were Paris Hilton brand shoes until I looked at them up close! Admittedly, I’m not a big fan of hers but the girl knows her shoes (and fragrances, so I’ve heard!).

Images: Macys

How adorable at these Destiny Pumps ($89)? I’m in love with the combination of the black ribbon and pewter leather. The heel measures high at 4.5″ but there’s a hidden 3/4″ platform so they won’t feel too high. There’s also an all black version if you something something a little less, flashy. These Paris Hilton shoes would be perfect to wear on a night out on the town, to a dinner date and a party – definitely a fun shoe that will get you loads of compliments.

Love them? Get them at Macy’s before they’re all sold out!

Valentino Spotlight Sequined Silver Pumps

Star Stevenson — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:00:01 +0000

As I mentioned on The List Maven, sequins have made a bit comeback this season and that usually also translates into our footwear options. Not to be outdone Valentino has come out with an amazing pair of silver sequined pumps that would be quite a fantastic choice to wear for a swanky party or New Year’s Eve.

Image: Bergdorf Goodman

These Valentino Spotlight Sequined Pumps ($795) will definitely command the spotlight when you wear them. I love the combination of sequins with faux pearls. It sounds like it would be a bit much but they actually go quite well with each other. A peep toe pump is always a sexy option for evenings and this one is a winner. The heel is 4.75″ and features a hidden platform.

If you’re not one to dare the fashion gods and wear a sequined dress, these sequined pumps will be an easier and more wearable alternative. Dress them up or dress them down, you can’t go wrong with these pretty heels. Pick them up at Bergdorf Goodman.

Under $100 Ankle Boots from Macys

Star Stevenson — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:00:48 +0000

Boots are a Fall and Winter season staple and while knee-high and mid-calf boots are classics, another style, ankle boots are really popular now. And everyone can wear them, not just the ‘young and hip’. I was browsing through Macy’s and found 4 super cute ankle boots under $100 that I thought you all would appreciate.

Images: Macys

Nine West Phantom Peep Toe ($99) If you’re looking for a basic but not boring black pair of ankle boots these are a great choice. The cut out detail on the side is really sexy, as is the little peep toe.

Chinese Laundry Wiz Boot ($79) I really like the slouchy style of these booties. The heel is a bit thick so it’ll be easier to walk in too. The grey suede is perfect for fall and these will go with just about everything. This also comes in a brown colour.

Style&Co Westie Bootie ($69.99) The colour of this is called ‘mink grey’ but it looks more olive-grey to me. Maybe its the way it was photographed? In any case, it’s quite cute and nicely priced too! It’s available in black and the stacked heel is listed at 4″ but these will feel more like 3.5″ due to the 1/2″ platform.

Hush Puppies Colette Bootie ($95) Now if you really want to get a pair of ankle booties that will get you compliments, these are it. This a beautiful blue colour (also avilable in black and brown) and the heel is a modest 3.5″, great shoe to wear every day this season!

Red Hot Valentino Couture Pumps

Star Stevenson — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:00:37 +0000

The holidays are coming up very soon! My favourite colour is red so it’s just another of the very many reasons why I love this time of year. Red is a wonderful colour for Fall and it compliments just about everyone. There are also very many shades to choose from as well – deep wine reds, burgundy, to blue tone and coral reds. One of my favourite red shades is lipstick red and these Valentino heels have got me drooling…

Image: Net-A-Porter

These oh so pretty Valentino Couture Patent Leather Pumps ($745) are pretty amazing. They’re feminine, sexy and a bit racy. How fabulous is are the sculptural bows on the front? They’re sweet and vampy at the same time. These pumps are meant to be worn with a short dress for maximum exposure and well, drama.

The heels measure 5″ and the platform is 1″, definitely wearable. Your little black dresses or other neutral toned frocks will look amazing when paired with these shoes. Do you love them too? Pick them up at Net-A-Porter before they’re gone!
