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.
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 …read more

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…

As much as I love shoes, there are times when I find one (or a few) that just make me wonder what was running through the designer’s mind as they were creating it. I can appreciate an interesting shoe, don’t get me wrong. I just wonder if some designers design for specific clientèle or do they really think ‘real women’ would wear the crazy shoe designs they come up with in ‘real life’?
With that being said and since Halloween is around the corner, I thought I’d show you a couple pairs of shoes that remind me of Halloween costumes or …read more

I’m sure you saw those gorgeous pink and gold Christian Louboutin heels I showcased yesterday. Heck, I’m still drooling over them! Are you ready for more brightly coloured shoes?  I found another worthy selection and this time it’s from Charlotte Olympia.
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, …read more

There are times when I come across shoes that literally make gasp with a combination of shock and awe. Christian Louboution shoes never fail to get this response from me.  I was browsing through Barneys today and these heels immediately caught my eyes and my heart.
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 …read more

What I love about designer Nanette Lepore’s clothing line is the immense amount of utter femininity and sophistication in her designs, especially the dresses. Looking at her clothing always makes me grateful to be a girl, heh. This also applies when I come across her shoes.
The Nanette Lepore Lovin You shoes are so fabulously retro yet modern. I adore the flirty bow on the back! These shoes will stand apart from a crowd and that crowd won’t be able to help looking at you when you walk away. The peep toe is classic while the fun cut …read more

For the second season in a row, Rupert Sanderson is collaborating with fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld. The Autumn/Winter 2009 collection was so well received that they are doing it again for Spring/Summer 2010.
In this new collection, Rupert re-interpreted two of his top-selling styles — Asteroid and Finesse. Giving the shoe a more modern, almost futuristic appeal, he designed a geometric heel inspired by Italian architect Gio Ponti. With the Asteroid, the ankle straps loop around the sole and are bolted in place for a dominatrix touch. This allow the top portion of the shoe to be interchanged.
These shoes are created …read more
