Be & D ’s Kan Kan Platform Sandal was featured yesterday on Oprah’s “Bag and Shoe Intervention” show. Oprah couldn’t stop talking about them and I loved them too! You can find these shoes online at Shopbop or Zappos in your choice of black or taupe.
The $595 price tag isn’t small, but these shoes look well worth it. These leather sandals have a ruffled T-strap, 1 1/4-inch covered platform and sky-high 4 1/2-inch heel.
What do you think? Love ‘em or hate ‘em?

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!).
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 …read more

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

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.
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.

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…
These oh so pretty Valentino Couture Patent Leather Pumps ($745) are pretty amazing. They’re feminine, sexy and a bit racy.  How …read more

With the influx of ankle boots or as some call them booties, it’s getting harder and harder to choose which ones to invest in. There are so many different styles, shapes, colours and textures to choose from and most of them are so cute. Questions you should ask yourself are: Do you want something simple and streamlined? Do you want embellishments? Do you want platform, heels or wedges?
I found a pair of ankle boots for you to consider in your hunt for the perfect pair. They’re by Kelsi Dagger and I must say, I totally love them.

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

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

Though I’m not incredibly familiar with Dennis Basso, I loved his Spring 2010 fashion show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. The beautiful ball gowns and party dresses with full skirts were so flirty, feminine and fun. I adored the flowing fabrics and one-shoulder designs.
Dennis Basso complemented his girly-girl fashions with open toe platform shoes. Some with ankle straps and some without, they were generally the same silhouette. For spring parties, you can’t go wrong with a platform pumps and sandals.
Let’s take a look at some of my favorite dresses (and the shoes) from the Dennis Basso Spring 2010 collection.
