Ruffled Feathers

A girl really needs two pairs of shoes with ruffles, right? I think I found my second pair.

Fiesstaa - Steve Madden

I would really like to see these in person. I'm hoping the pinky magenta hue is a little richer up close. This is truly a stunner of a shoe. I love the tonal patent platform and 5 inch heel. As soon as you throw these bad boys on with your LBD you'll be fiesta-ing the night away. I can tell you one thing this girl is never gonna get tired of flirty little feminine details on her shoes. What are your favorite details on shoes?

Gay Paree

Ughs. Sorry for my second "remember when" in a row but do you remember when I blogged about these little beauties.



And how thankful I was to dear Paris for knocking off the Valentino pair that haunts my dreams. Well I was browsing around heels.com (I seriously can't even begin to tell you how much I heart that site) and came across them again. In black and in this color.

Senorita - Paris Hilton

Yikes! I mean that in a good way. I frigging LOVE these. And they will be mine. Oh yes. They will be mine. And since I just bought a pair of black peep toes in the form of a unicorn I thought it only seemed right that I purchase these in this oh so delicious blue hue. They are currently residing on my wish list over at heels.com. Don't you go buying all of the 6.5s out from under me!

So, So, Sad

Remember last week when I said I was going to be in trouble because I bought these...



Well I received them on Friday. There was a beautiful, glorious package sitting right next to the front door when I got home from work. Don't you love that? I brought them to my bedroom and tore into the box. The packaging was so lovely. I lifted the lid of that oh so sweet black and white striped shoe box. I was beyond excited to have finally purchased my first pair of L.A.M.B. shoes thanks to Rue La La. The first thing I saw was the dust bag. *Sigh* and then I pulled away the tissue and there they were in all of their black leather glory. I reached in, took them out of the box, kicked off my shoes and slid my foot oh so gracefully into my new shoes. I buckled the straps and..... CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! They're too effing small. WTF L.A.M.B.????? So now they are on their back to Rue La La.

I am praying that these fit.

If not I will be devastated. Dev.as.stat.ed.

Sequins!

I heart sparkly things. Sparkle looks to be a key trend for Fall 09. But don't just take my word for it. The folks over at Bergdorf Goodman think so too. Well I'm here to show you how to do it on a dime. I saw these little lovelies and just HAD to feature them. Me thinks they will be making their way into my closet very soon. Oh I can already picture them with a fab little dress and leggings.

Wanted Shoes - Dizzy Flat

I simply adore the color combo here, the contrasting navy and pewter, and the shape is spot on. A shimmering ballet flat that will have you sparkling from work to weekend. Oooo shiny....

Cut. It. Out.

Steve Madden Merriee

My inbox has been inundated with emails from retail stores touting the hot trends for fall 2009. One of those trends is cutout booties. This particular cutout bootie by Steve Madden has me written all over it. From the color (oh man, especially that color), Gah! I must add some electric blue to my shoe wardrobe stat. To the cone shaped heel and those sexy cutouts dotting the sides. What do you say ladies? Are you planning on adding a cutout bootie to your fall shoe collection?

Dream, Dream, Dream

I was inspired by this post I saw yesterday on Dashboard Obsessions. So I decided to make a wish list of my own. A girl CAN dream can't she? If money were no object these would be on my must have list for the fall. Is one of these on yours?

Quintessential Black Pump

If you are in the market for a classic black pump then look no further. I've found the perfect pair.

Joan & David Flipp

I was on Piperlime taking an early look at some of their newly arrived fall styles when I came across these. These are truly, truly the epitome of a "classic black pump". The platform, the slightly curved heel shape, the almond toe, the black patent leather. This bad boy has all of the right elements. Now while I did find them on piperlime they are sold out of quite a few sizes so I took the liberty of doing a search and found them on zappos here. Just in case you love them so much you HAVE to have them. Now I will admit at $200 they aren't cheap but this is a shoe that you will find yourself reaching for over and over again. So much so that the cost to wear ratio will work itself out in no time. From the looks of it these also appear to have a nicely padded insole, perfect for strutting your stuff in comfort and style.
