Fall Shoe Trends: Cutout Booties

Remember last fall/winter we saw a large number of booties with cutout details. This fall, that trend will definitely continue. I’m not a huge fan of these type of booties, especially when it’s overdone. But if you like this look, you will certainly have an array of cutout booties to choose from. Here are just a few that are available right now at Endless.
BCBGirls Hosty Open Toe Boot ($117.95)
Available in black or white, these leather booties from BCBGirls feature an open toe and a 4-inch heel. The allover cutouts are in a cage-like pattern.

Over-the-Knee Boots for Fall

Expect over-the-knee boots to be hot for fall. Though I’m not sure about this trend being able to translate from the runway to real life, designers are churning out these tall boots.

Let’s take a look at a few of the over-the-knee boots available from Bergdorf Goodman.

Fall Shoe Trends: The Skinny Heel

For fall, we are going to see a lot of stilettos and skinny heels on every type of shoe imaginable, from booties to platforms. I like skinny heels a lot. They add some femininity to many of the menswear-inspired styles.
Recently, I learned about these Stuart Weitzman shoes for Fall 2009, which include an ankle boot and a gladiator sandal that you may like.
These charcoal suede ankle booties feature a platform sole and very skinny heel. The suede Stuart Weitzman Seamstress is priced at $375.

Juicy Couture Lavish To-The-Knee Gladiator

I love Juicy Couture’s cute charm bracelets and fun spring handbags. Their gladiator sandals? Not so much. In fact, these shoes are downright awful.
The Juicy Couture Lavish To-The-Knee gladiator sandals feature brown leather straps, an open toe and flat heel. They zip up the back for your convenience. As ugly as they look here, I’d imagine they will look even worse on your feet/legs.
I was so hoping that the gladiator sandal trend would fade away this year, but it’s back with a vengeance. My recommendation to you. Don’t wear these shoes under any circumstances. Well, unless you are going to …read more

Hippie-Chic Platform Sandals

This spring, get into the hippie-chic trend with flared jeans, peasant tops, flowing skirts and fringed bags. Another essential for this look is a great pair of platform sandals.
Yves Saint Laurent offers a variety of fabulous shoes for spring and one of my favorites is their patent leather Obi platform sandal. These sandals feature an open toe with a pleated bow across the vamp. With a 4-inch heel and a buckled ankle strap, these will definitely dress up anything you are wearing.
You can get these sandals right now at Bergdorf Goodman. Priced at $895, they are definitely a splurge but …read more

This spring, look for pink shoes in every shade imaginable, from pale to bright. Here are a few of my favorite pink shoes available right now from Neiman Marcus.

Dolce & Gabbana Pool Slide – $495
Simple yet sophisticated, this peep-toe slide is a fresh light pink dubbed “Rosa.” This shoe features a skinny high heel and easy to wear style.
