Burberry has been putting some great designs out there lately, from updated plaids to sleek modern clothing.  They’ve even updated their advertising, with Emma Watson showing up in a gorgeous campaign.
Which leaves the question?  How do you like your Burberry?
Specifically, the classic Burberry plaid – on a shoe…

Do you prefer a closed-toe high heel pump – with a great buckle detail?

How about lowering the heel a tad and going for an open-toe mule?

Go for the casual summer look with a straw-trimmed espadrille wedge heel instead.

Christian Louboutin is known for his exotic shoes, but for his Fall/Winter 2009 collection, the designer has really had some fun with the details.
Bold colors, shapes, stripes and even studs make their way onto his shoes.  You’ll find everything from suede, patent leather, lace and even sheer mesh.

The “Circus” bootie features a concealed platform and suede cutouts, supported by sheer mesh.

Have fun with the stripey suede “Bicho” peep-toe platform pump this fall.

Go for bold with the “Candy” lace and patent spike heel.  It features lace, red patent leather, a zipper detail and spiky brass studs – not for the faint …read more

In honor of the inauguration happening today, today’s picks are kitten heel shoes, made in the USA – perfect for the new First Lady!
California Magdesians is a shoe company, based in Los Angeles.  They’ve been creating quality shoes for almost 60 years – all them in the USA.  I think they would make a great choice for Michelle Obama – after all, what’s better than supporting craftspeople in her own country?
“Carole” made from peau fabric (a type of satin) with patent leather accents:

“Liv-R” peep-toes add a touch of sex appeal to the kitten-heel pump:

The sleek black suede bootie “Bert-R” has …read more

I recently snagged a pair of sandals for better than 70% off… which got me thinking – why not take advantage of the amazing sales happening at this time of year?
I wouldn’t recommend sinking a lot of money into a really trendy shoe or purse, but why not save some $$$ on classic colors or shapes that you’ll be able to use for years?  This is not the time to buy wacky colors or trendy finishes – but accessories like these “Narcissa” pumps from Boutique 9:

It’s Monday.
You’re back at your desk.
Wondering where the heck the weekend got to.
Need something to cheer you up?
Betsey Johnson always manages to cheer me up!

Easy to wear and light-hearted – the “Crescent” flat.
Or if you prefer a high heel, there’s the “Warwick“:

In honor of Gwen Stefani’s decision to bring L.A.M.B. back to the runaway after a hiatus of several seasons (thanks to the Fashion Daily for the scoop), I thought it would be fun to showcase some of her designs!

This is the “Spectator” pump in molasses/winter wheat.  Very wearable

Yummy, yummy, yummy

You’ll definitely turn heads wearing the Miu Miu patent leather “Vernice” pump!

From uptown to downtown, this chic pump keeps you in stride. Suede upper. 1/2 inch front platform rise. 4-1/4 inch stacked heel. Leather sole. Imported.
Yes, they are made of suede, so you will have to be careful with them, but just check out that heel! If you are looking to be tall and willowy… they ought to do it!

I spent the entire day at the mall on Saturday and it wasn’t until closing time that my feet began to hurt. That’s not bad when you think of how many miles/kilometres I covered during those hours. And why am I telling you this?? Because the shoes looked a lot like these ones. If I’m going to shop, I want to be comfortable. I can save my 4 inch heels for a night out where all I have to do is sit!
