If you’re not familiar with Charlotte Olympia, you should be because her line of shoes are truly one of a kind. In fact, each one is adorned with the company’s signature gold spider web on the sole. This is a similar branding technique that CL shoes have with the red soles. Clever marketing strategy or just fun decoration? Either way, they are lovely shoes.

The Charlotte Olympia Maxine Sandals ($825) are definitely a ‘going out’ kind of shoe. These are not meant to be worn on casual outings, unless of course that’s your style in which case, kudos to you!

As you can see these are some seriously glam shoes. The combined colours, dark plum suede and metallic fuschia is a really playful way to incorporate this Fall’s it colour.  The heel is quite hight at 5.5″ inches but the platform island measures 1″ so technically they’re only 4.5″ heels. A cake walk for some!

What I really love about these shoes is the fun zipper fastening at the front. They’re similar in style to gladiator heels which are also a major trend.  If you love these you can purchase them at the Net-A-Porter website.

How divine are these Christian Louboutin Beaute Strass heels?! The combination of pink satin and glittering gold is girly yet sophisticated. Let’s not forget the open toe and sexy cut outs all over. The gold embellishments are made out of little gems, so exquisite!

Ok, so they’re ridiculously expensive at $2225. That’s a lot of money but wow they’re total show stoppers as most Christian Louboutin shoes are. What to wear with these beauties? Why a little black dress of course! These shoes are made to be shown off.  I also picture these shoes with a pretty white or light neutral toned outfit for the Spring. Oh, and wouldn’t these be a fun shoe to wear with your wedding gown? Maybe?

If you love these and if you have a couple thousand dollars at your disposal, you can pick these up at Barneys New York.

This gold python embossed slingback from Dior is very unique. It features a beautifully jeweled toe with tiny pearls and other jewel embellishments in its cutout design.

The python embossed leather looks rich and luxurious – and it should. These shoes are $1,450 from Neiman Marcus.

The interesting thing about these shoes is that when I first glanced at them, I thought they were ugly. But after I paid attention to all the details, I now find them gorgeous.

If you are going to wear a shoe this glitzy, it’s best to wear a very simple outfit.  A classic “Little Black Dress” or other neutral ensemble would be idea.

Recognized fashion and beauty expert Nada Manley was kind enough to write a guest blog post here on Shoe Blitz about her top 10 fantasy shoe picks for fall.

Here you go, straight from Nada …

Like most women, I love shoes. I mean, I really really really love them. Prior to the birth of my baby daughter, Lola, my shoe closet was my greatest accomplishment in life. Row after row of stunning, meticulously organized shoes. What could be better? The answer, of course, is more shoes. Fortunately, fall offers plenty of opportunities to stock up. Here are my top fantasy picks for fall:

Miu Miu Antic Crystal Ballet Slipper, $395, Neiman Marcus: So gorgeous, they’re almost enough to make me give up my heels. A brilliant mix of pink crackled leather, silver glitter and gold leather piping, these are soft-spoken and showy at the same time. Perfect.

Prada Gold Crocodile Open-Toe D’Orsay Pump, $1700, Neiman Marcus: You may not be able to pay rent after buying these shoes, but they are well worth it. At once of-the-moment and timeless, these stunning stilettos combine two of fall’s top trends: exotic skins and metallics.

Sergio Rossi Platform Patent Pumps, $535, Net-A-Porter.com: Patent is the hottest trend in shoes and bags this season, and these black pumps combine a round toe with a platform and heel in a contrasting wine color, to give a bit of a spin to a hot fall look.

Emilo Pucci Scallop Edge Sandals, $615, Net-A-Porter.com: Show stopping and truly unique, these sandals have a vintage-y glamour to them. Of black and gold crinkled patent leather, they feature gold straps, a gold heel, and a black and gold scalloped back.

Christian Louboutin Numero Prive Slingbacks, $690, Net-A-Porter.com: These are so fabulous and wardrobe-transforming, that I am tempted to call them a steal. These slingbacks are dusted with multicolored glitter and feature a gold heel and an open toe.

Miu Miu Wine and Pink Patent Pump, $525 at select Miu Miu boutiques, also available at Saks: Barbie-esque, but with an edge. Pink and red patent on the same shoe? Unbelievable. Why didn’t anyone think of this before. The very high heel and back of the shoe is in bright pink patent, while the rest is a stunning brick color with a spectator toe. Impossible to describe, and to resist. Ogle them for yourself on the cover of fall’s Elle Accessories magazine.

Roger Vivier Purple Satin Shoe, $1450, Bergdorf Goodman: Perched on a perilously high, superskinny heel, these sexy satin stilettos feature a slim ankle strap and a playful pouf of satin at the toe.

Diesel Feather Sandals, $650, Diesel stores: I’ve never equated Diesel with glamour, but this season, everyone’s pulling out the stops. These luscious raspberry-colored sandals feature a simple strappy style accented with a single feather fashioned out of leather.

D&G Patent Leather and Lucite Shoe, $1275: Artfully composed of cream patent leather combined with a gold-glitter encrusted Lucite heel, these peep toe pumps also feature a delicate ankle strap and silver sequined trip at the toe and back of the shoe.

Stella McCartney Hot Pink Satin Platform Pump, $595, Bergdorf Goodman: Like Minnie Mouse shoes, but in a good way, these fuschia pumps boast a four inch heel, round toe and a fabulous platform that sweeps up at the front.
