Fall Shoe Trends

With Fall fashion creeping its way into stores and boutiques you will want to keep you eyes peeled for the plethora of shoe trends to follow!  Of course you can always swing by our store and find just what you need!

Color blocking, patterns, and colorful reptile will give you a walk on the wild side kind of look.  The shoe boot, or shootie as I like to call it combines a heel and boot look below the ankle.  T-straps, and ankle straps are making a comeback, as is the menswear trend, which has always been popular but a little bit of a sleeper in years past.  Finally the ever classic pointy toe, one of the best leg lengtheners when combined with a great heel! Find just the right fit for your look!

Occasionally you may find yourself looking for a shoe that is simple and elegant but also has that little something special that sets it apart from a plain black pump.  Gianvito Rossi has a shoe that does just that.  This winged pump have an extended back and sides that frame your foot in a sexy black suede.  They are like a hybrid pump/boot, almost like a shootie but not quite, classic but modern, all melded together with just the right balance.  Of course I wouldn't want to balance my check book after buying these, they will set you back $635.

If you are still looking for that shoe with a certain something and not ready to shell out so much cash, consider the "Red Alert" by Poetic Licence.  You have similar framing with the extended sides, but this one also gives you a little glitz and glam with a jeweled broach adorning the toe.  Best of all they are only $120.  They are the perfect pair to give your look a little je ne sais quoi.

Fantasy Fashion Becomes Reality

While continuing my quest for the perfect pair of Louboutins to induge in I stumbled upon these, the Tinazata. Barney's describes Louboutin saying,

"Prepare to make a statement while doning the signature red sole of a Christian Louboutin. Working closely with the risqué burlesque show Folies Bergère, Louboutin became well acquainted with the seduction of a women's shoe and carried that with him to create an empire. From a fierce, towering pump to an everyday flat, Louboutin's array of styles never ceases to impress and fits every woman's personality."

If ever there were a shoe that might bring these words to life, the Tinazata just may be it.  Ruched suede peep toe ankle boot with low platform, cut-out sides and back zip, 120mm heel, just sizzling! Barney's even has them on sale right now for only $839, as sexy and epitomizing as these may be, that's not a price that will fit my bill, *sigh*.

Christian Louboutin, Tinazata, $839

If you're looking for a sexy suede peep toe ankle boot or shootie with a low platform, cut-out sides and back zip, Matiko might have the shoe for you. Sexy and sleek and just $169 (possibly on sale too!) Could be the perfect shoe for your New Year's party outfit.

Trend Watch Fall 2010

On the hunt for the latest trends in fall footwear? Be on the lookout for the following styles in order to keep your wardrobe up to date!

Over The Knee boots: the OTK look will give you drama without the catfight. Go for a flat boot with a skinny cord during the day, or a heeled version with a mini for a night out on the town.

Clogs: Boho chic is back, give your outfit a modern yet retro vibe, a great style+comfort combo.

Oxfords: Preppy is in, so is menswear inspired, many of these looks are adding feminine touches, like lace, so you really can have the best of both worlds.

Loafers: This classic is showing up all over runways this fall, but you might notice something different. Designers are upgrading this polished look with thicker heels, bright colors, and unique details.

Shortie Boots and Shooties: Chunky heels, fold over tops, embellished stilettos, cut outs, buckles, buttons, studs, with infinite options you can't go wrong pairing the shortie boot and/or shootie with tights and a skirt, leggings and a chunky sweater (my fave for fall!) or with a great pair of skinny jeans!

Stilettos: This sexy stunner is here to stay, but designers are constantly giving new life to the style that oozes sex appeal, which lets us breath new life into our LBDs! This layered lace look from Pour La Victoire adds a rich, lady-like, textural elegance that will make your feet the center of attention.
