Taking cue from those pretty Prada heels I posted yesterday, I browsed around Bergdorf Goodman for a sleeker alternative. I came across these gorgeous Miu Miu heels and I just had to feature them today. Not only are they perfect candidates for Fall’s neutral/nude trend, they’re the kind of heels that will instantly make any woman feel sexier.
The Miu Miu Round Toe Lattice Pumps ($590) have the traditional platform pump shape but what makes it stand apart from the rest is the lovely shade of beige. It’s also available in black (Nero) if you prefer.  The lattice detailing makes these …read more

One of my favourite shoe brands/stores is Nine West. Why? Because they make comfortable and beautiful shoes! Cute shoes don’t have to be a pain to wear! I’ve more than several pairs and I can tell you that they are of high-quality and are totally cute. I was browsing through the sale section of the Nine West website and a couple pairs caught my eye…

The Spring & Summer 2010 collections during Milan Fashion Week have been all about the contrast this week.
Some designers are showing very restrained collections with neutral palettes…
And some have not!
The bright colors have ranged from more traditional summer colors to some very bright neons – which look even brighter when you pair them with more neon and black.
As you can see from the Dsquared2 finale, neon is going to be a presence for next spring:

Didn’t we do that in the eighties already?  Oh well, runway looks are always more extreme than the real-life versions…
Laura Biagiotti went for bold, bright and …read more

London Fashion Week is in full swing with the Brits showcasing the best of their fashion for the upcoming Spring & Summer 2010 collections.
The shoes from London Fashion Week are definitely leaning towards the extreme.  Fur, feathers and metal are all showing up.  Unusual heels and carved platforms are parading down the runways.
Roksanda Ilinic went for feathers – lots and lots of feathers!

Underneath all that plumage, those metallic bronze booties are quite cute and wearable.
The Osman runway collection featured some extreme carved platforms:

We’ve seen other “heel-less” shoes before, but they really haven’t seemed to show up on store shelves.  So …read more

There’s something about Jeffrey Campbell’s shoes that just scream Los Angeles. Understand that I speak not of the electric-blue or party-pink spiked translucent-heel look that may come to mind. These are straight-up movie night at the Cinespia Cemetery shoes – a fabulous blend of over-the-top trendy and Hollywood gothic sleaze that are gorgeous enough to be totally, absolutely, mind-blowingly wearable.
Although he has carved quite a name for himself with sexy over-the-knee boots and killer studded flat boots and chunky heels, I am beyond impressed that his more subdued collection – which include flats and ballet slippers – is just …read more

Do you have the urge to design?
Do you look at a pair of shoes and figure out how to make them better?
Do you despair at ever finding the “perfect” pair of shoes for you?
Why not design your own?

Fluevog shoes are already known for being some of the funkiest and most unique shoes available, and they want you to get in on the fun as well.
They’ve created an open-ended contest to create “Open Source Shoes” – kind of like open source software.  Once you’ve submitted your design, it becomes part of the public design.  Fluevog may choose to replicate your design …read more

Purple patent pumps embellished with plastic skeleton hands, anyone? I know that someone out there is dying for these. Ha. That was a pun, get it? Dying…skeleton hand? Oh nevermind. Anyways, I’m not exactly sure who the target audience is for these babies-elementary school teachers really invested in Halloween, maybe, or adolescent goth girls-but, they are so freaking apropos of nothing that I couldn’t resist them:

Definitely best with a sexy witch costume, I think. Only in size 9, people, these are one of a kind. Available for $50 from Crafttastrophe.

It’s still roastingly hot in the day time in my neck of the woods, but there is a little crispness in the morning air that let’s me know the seasons are changing…
Floral accessories are making the transition into fall as well.  Darker, richer colors and textured materials like suede are a change from summer’s bold and bright tones.
Want to go with a little floral accent?

The “Helena” drivers from Elie Tahari are an easy-wear suede flat with a single flower on each vamp.  They also come in navy, black and dark olive.
Want more flowers?

These elegant peep-toes from Poetic License are completely …read more
