Actress Diane Kruger sported a pair of simple, metallic sandals during the German premier of “Inglourious Basterds“.
It seems that so often stylists go for the boldest, heavily accented shoes to dress their celebrity clients in that it’s refreshing to see a simpler, more elegant shoe make an appearance.

It always surprises me to see women wearing very casual foam flip flops to locations that might normally require a little bit more dressing up.
Yes, they’re comfy, but if you feel the need to wear makeup or do something other than a messy pony tail with your hair, maybe it’s time to change shoes?
And besides, foot specialists aren’t usually big fans of flip flops either…
Need some style ideas for a sandal that’s going to be as comfy as your old flip flops, but with a dash more flair?

Some days it’s nice to wear a clean, elegant shoe that makes you feel sleek and stylish.
Clean lines, a moderate heel and wearable cut make the “Valore 9“  slide from Donald J Pliner just that shoe.  It comes in a bunch of different colors, including some great snakeskin options.  I quite like the metallic colors through.  They add a little extra pizazz without overwhelming the rest of your outfit.

If you look at pictures of my feet throughout the years you will sbe taken on an evolutionary adventure of fashion. In 1999, I was wearing rubber flip-flops from Old Navy, by 2006 I was wearing Teva flip-flops and last year I moved by way to more work appropriate leather flip-flops.
However, ten years is just too long to wear flip-flops and it’s about time to upgrade! That’s why, this year, I have finally invested in t-bar sandals. I have black ones and browns now, but after seeing these Tibi Twiggy T–bar sandals, I may have a pair of pink ones …read more

Andre Leon Talley recently wrote an article for Vogue, praising the style of women who wear flats and low heels.
Despite the sex appeal of a towering stiletto, I’ve got to agree – I’m a life-long devotee of the low heel.  At 5′10″, I’m not exactly need in of a boost in height.  At the end of the day, I prefer a shoe that doesn’t leave me in pain.
And besides, who decided that flats and low heels can’t be sexy?  Take a look at this strappy gold kid “Fabulous” sandal from Stuart Weitzman and see if you’ll change your mind:

L.A.M.B. has added another embellishment to the seasons’ already heavily embellished shoes.
Feathers!
That’s right, their high heel “Leslie” is adorned with a combination of Pearl Guinea Keet feathers and sparkling paillettes.
The feathery footware is available in black leather:

Or grey leather;

I would personally recommend these as a “sunny weather only shoe” and for heaven’s sakes – don’t make the pigeons angry – they might take personal offence at you sporting prettier feathers than they are!
