This year it’s all about the boot. Almost any boot style is a must have, but the bootie or ankle boot, popular several years ago, is a strong trend.

Walk on the Wild Side in Leopard Pumps

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

One of the hottest fashion items this season continues to be the leopard print pump.

Leopard print is something that should be worn sparingly - a nice leopard print shoe, handbag or top is great. Wearing leopard from head to toe isn’t!

Here are a few of my favorite leopard print pumps.

Annie Garnet Leopard Pump

Annie Garnet Leopard Pump
These affordable yet stylish shoes feature leopard print fabric, as well as buckle detailing across the vamp. The curvy stacked heel make them a very cute choice. And at only $44.95 from Zappos.com, you can beat the price.

Cole Haan Leopard Slingback Pump

Cole Haan Fiona Air Pony Hair Slingback Pump
I just love the femininity of the pointed toe and slingback style. These shoes feature cushioning from Nike Air, so you can be on your feet all day and still look chic. They are priced at $325 from Nordstrom.

Anne Klein Leopard Pump

Anne Klein New York Leopard Pump
These shoes feature classic styling. The heel is 2 1/2″ high - which is high enough but not too high. These are available right now at Saks Fifth Avenue for $240.

Manolo Blahnik Leopard Pump

Manolo Blahnik Leopard-Print Suede Mary Jane Pump
These Mary Janes look fabulous in this hot leopard print. The rich suede fabric is very luxurious. You can order these at NeimanMarcus.com for $545. Remember that Manolo Blahnik shoes run small, so order 1/2 size larger than you normally wear.

Spring 2008 Shock Value Shoes

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

Have you checked out the Spring 2008 Ready-to-Wear accessory reports at Style.com? You really must!

Here you will find a variety of shoes, handbags and accessories from the top designers. Let’s take a closer look at some of the shoes you will find there.

Some are cute. Some are ugly. Some are eccentric. And then some are what I would term “Shock Value Shoes” - meaning the designer created them for shock value only. No one is actually going to wear these shoes.

First off, here are some of my new favorites that I actually would wear.

Lime Green Patent Pump from Brian Atwood

Now here is a boot that I find simply atrocious. From Miu Miu, these boot features python on the toe and some obnoxious aqua cut-out pattern throughout the shaft. Ugh!

And then here are some of the Shock Value shoes:

This colorful Manolo Blahnik shoe will make you dizzy.

And probably the worst of the bunch - the Alessandro Dell’Acqua Platform Wedge …
