Desirable: Christian Louboutin Miss Dina Sandals
If there was a pair of sandals that could be matched with any outfit and still be trendy 10 years from now, it would be these fabulous Loubies. OK, I know. It's python, but once and a while let's break the rules and indulge in beautiful shoes guilt-free!

Affordable: Report Signature Newbury Platform Sandal
I think what I like the most about these sandals is their Marni look (at a cheaper price). I like the sleek look and glossy patent, not to mention the beautiful color. They are definitely a fall must-have, especially at this price!

Repulsive: Robert Clergerie CrissCross Mule
I think I am having a nightmare!! These shoes seems to come straight from Silas's closet (the masochist and somewhat psychopath albino monk from the Da Vinci Code). So, unless you plan on joining the Opus Dei soon, avoid these shoes at all costs!
Robert Clergerie CrissCross Mule $565 BergdorfGoodman
It definitely takes a special girl to pull these off. They are a low-cut boot, which cuts the line of the leg, and they have a kitten heel, adding no height to the line. AND then they are bright, shiny, red patent leather. You're not hiding from anyone in these babies ... but if you do take a walk on the wild side, I'd pair your pair with something simple like a black dress. Let the shoes speak for themselves.
Christian Louboutin Patent Leather Bootie Available Fall 2008
It’s odd, but Christian Louboutin’s shoes usually fall into two categories for me. I either absolutely adore them, or I absolutely hate them. And these shoes are in the latter category. I just feel like the pleated chiffon structure of the top of the shoe looks like giant insect wings. I would also be very concerned that the chiffon could easily tear or snag. There are so many gorgeous loubies out there that it would be a shame to waste your money on these!
Desirable: Christian Louboutin Very Brode Pump
At first these shoes appear to be nothing special, but I like the pink color and Spanish feel. They kind of remind me of a Christian Lacroix collection back in the 80s. I think these shoes will look fab with anything black, navy or even gray.

Affordable: Juicy Couture Cheeky
I just adore these super cute ballet flats. They have the comfy feel of a slipper, but a leather sole, which makes them perfect for a stroll around the city
Juicy Couture Cheeky $72 Zappos
Repulsive: El Vaquero Buff Boots
I truly believe in karma, and any women who deserve to wear these hideous boots must have done something really bad back in the days of Calamity Jane and the gold rush because these boots are a monstrosity even by wild wild west standards.
El Vaquero Buff Boots $1,250 Gregorys
This is a beautiful, timeless boot. The caramel suede is classic and will go with everything. Although they are pricey, these boots aren’t going out of style any time soon! They are also available in black leather and black and purple suede. Although the purple is fun and very popular for the season, if you’re looking for a fashion investment, stick with either the black or camel.
These are hot... Can't you see Uma Thurman in Kill Bill IMDb wearing the hell out of these babies? (note: one of the major musical themes of that film was "Bang Bang" by Nancy Sinatra.) I would pair them with black tight, high waisted stretch paints (the ones that appear to be pleather from American Apparel are a personal favorite...) or just "old faithful" (aka skinny jeans.)
Christian Louboutin Bang Bang Ankle Boots $1125 Saks
I have to say, I'm not all that into these boots. The grommets suggest "I'm a hardcore rocker" but the shape is kind of vanilla. I say, if you're going to do it, then do it! Don't beat around the bush. These are what a conservative woman would wear if she wanted to feel naughty... not my style.
Christian Louboutin Astraqueen Ankle Boots $895 Saks
Open toe wedges for Fall? Why not! I love the soft suede and the ruching... You could really play these up and wear them with a cute flirty dress or throw them on with a pair of dark denim skinny jeans. The possibilities here are endless.
Christian Louboutin Miss Gres Zeppa Wedge $895 Barneys
Wow! These shoes combine so many things I love in a shoe! First of all, the deep purple is gorgeous. And I love the combination of a traditional penny loafer with a peep-toe platform and super high heel. So very hot and so many possibilities of ways to wear them! I would definitely wear them jeans and maybe a black trench or blazer for fall. They would also look amazing with a black sheath dress or black pencil skirt and white blouse and of course, our favorite: black tights! They are also available in black, but the purple is just too good to pass up!
Have you ever loved a pair of shoes so much, that when they were worn out you wished you had bought the same style in every color and material possible?
This should not be an issue when it comes to Christian Louboutin's shoe collection. They usually come in a wide range of materials and colors, like these Armadillo pumps that we have seen in black leather, pewter, red satin and now in blue satin.
