Dsquared2 crisscross sandals

Sophie — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 23:55:29 +0000

There is something so seductive about black strappy sandals. I happen to love these black strappy sandals from the Dsquared2 SS 2011 collection. The classic leather straps in a crisscross design is any shoe lovers must-haves.

For a similar style on-a-budget, these hotties fit the bill!

Ankle Socks & Heels

Burberry Prorsum SS 2010

Have you tried socks with heels yet? I’m starting to admire the look as I see more & more from fashion spreads and on the runways. An easy way to add color to your outfit plus, less likely for blisters. The sock is very well matched with chunky platform sandals. Lovely spring look… could it be your version of spring boots? J.Crew has some nice ones to go with your heels.

Solid knee-highs $12.50

Solid anklets three-pack $24.50

Fishnet anklets three-pack $24.50

2010 is Looking Clear

Prada Spring 2010

First of all, would you wear see-thru heels? To me, it all depends on the design. Looks like they could be some of the most-wanted footwear for the upcoming seasons. Expect to see more shoes in 2010 that are made with vinyl, acrylic, lucite or plastic with a mirror-like, clear finish to them. It could be a refreshing addition to your spring/summer wardrobe and I can see myself wearing these transparent heels with maxi dresses. What about you?

OMG… I can’t believe the price on these stunning ASOS HITCH Premium Perspex & Leather Strap Sandal. How hooooooot! Now on sale for $32.29 $110.48! Seriously, you won’t see these type of heels at such a low price. No doubt about it, I’d definitely rock these all throughout spring & summer.

More See-thru Heels

Alexander McQueen Spring 2010

Alexander McQueen, as always, sure pushes the envelope. Alexander McQueen Spring 2010 collection looks as if they are straight out of a sci-fi movie. Extraordinaire! The most intriguing shoes are these super high booties… these make Christian Siriano 2010 shoes look a bit tame.

I can’t help but think of… LOL!

There is some delicious Alexander Mcqueen fashion on sale right now at Gilt Groupe, luxury fashion up to 70% off!

Christian Siriano Spring 2010

Sophie — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:41:54 +0000

I was pleased with the Fall 09 Collection from Christian Siriano for Payless. Love them boots! However, his latest Spring 2010 collection is not as thrilling as the last. Honestly, I do love these fab shoes… the color, pattern, everything… but those warped heels? How unflattering under such sexy platforms! I admire his inventive side (and I think he’s so adorable!) but those horn-like heels really ruined the overall design for me. What’s your take on these shoes?

Expect to see the shoes & handbags in Payless stores around Feb, 2010. Oh, and hopefully, there will be some alterations to the heels before they hit the stores. Fingers crossed!

Prada Fall 09 RTW

Sophie — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 17:40:02 +0000

Miuccia Prada showcased a unique collection of shoes on the Prada Fall 09 runway from hip-high boots to Mohawk-fringe heels. Love the garter like belt attached to each boot… sexy!

Love It or Hate It – Sneaker Pumps

Sophie — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 23:52:15 +0000

DKNY Spring 09

I rarely wear sneakers… hardly. The only exception is during workouts of course. And you may ask, how about them sneaker pumps? Well, I can confidently say – never!

Sneaker + heels… that’s is just not an appealing combo to me. The style should have stayed back in the 80′s and never comeback along with those hideous harem pants. This DKNY sneaker would’ve been much cooler without the heel. What cha’ think?

Here is a funky pair with chunkier heels. Still hideous… no matter what style or color! Would you ever wear or have you worn sneaker pumps before and what would you wear them with anyway?

Nine West – Dtucks (Yellow Canvas) $42.55

Fancy Artsy Heels

Sophie — Fri, 15 May 2009 18:59:40 +0000

Whoa, look at these ultra fancy heels… they are display worthy shoes, don’t ya think? Like stepping into a piece of art. Such fabulousness!

Fancy doesn’t have to be expensive. These lovelies are not your average everyday heels. Amped up with delicate floral embroidery design, the feminine line gives it a bit of vintage feel to it. Dressy all on their own! Black or brown.

Shiekh Yenta-08 $27.97 $39.97

Exotic Tribal Sandals

jenny11 — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 16:43:06 +0000

For this year’s spring and summer ’09 shoes trends, tribal and exotic looks are HUGE! There are so many hot new collections out there right now that have an emphasis on tribal and exotic styles.

Louis Vuitton Spring 09 Collection is Exotic and Tribal

The ’09 Louis Vuitton spring collection is amazing with very tribalesque features including tassels and feathers that really make the shoes come alive. Cutout sandals are so chic and will really go great with that new spring wardrobe you just finished putting together.

Katrin Leather Exotic Sandal - $149

I found this beautiful cutout sandal, the Katrin Leather Exotic Sandal that is very exotic and trimmed with feathers and beads. It also has leopard print in the front and has nearly a 1-inch platform. Go Safari Chic!
