When I came across these pumps, it was love at first sight! I love their sleek, elegant look, but what I love the most, is that we can indulge our exotic craving without the guilt. No, those shoes are not real crocodile--they are embossed leather.
They will be fabulous paired with suits and dresses, and I will wear them with a pencil skirt and a simple shirt.

Since reviewing Marni's ready-to-wear fall collection, I was waiting anxiously for the shoes to hit the store. And voila! Finally the unbearable wait is over. The collection is magnificent, so it was worth waiting!
Although I knew my choice for Pick of the Week would be from Marni's collection, I had a very difficult time choosing. I picked one pair that I adore, but stay tuned to see more Marni shoes in the coming days. I am just crazy about these purple laminated leather pumps, that according to the lighting changes colors to match a large array of outfits.
Of course I bought a pair and when they arrived...wrong size! Total bummer! I can't believe I have to wait a few more days to get them.

This week I have to agree with my fellow bloggers at Splendora! These Prada pumps are fabulous!
And it is true that they have a very sweet feel to them, almost like the top of a cup cake--probably because of the ruffle. However, it is more the design of rest of the shoe that I like. They have a retro feel (very 1940s) and will look fabulous paired with a belted jacket over a pencil skirt.
I wish.... OMG ... I just bought them! Someone is going to be in trouble when the Amex bill arrives! Oh well--we only live once, right!!??

I am in love! I am in love!! Since I first saw these shoes, I was completely obsessed! They are just what a girl needs for fall!
I love the red hot suede, and the elasticized strap that reveals the top of the foot in a very sexy way.
These shoes will look magnificent with gray, brown or black. I think I am going to get them right away!

A few days ago, I received the Rene Caovilla fall line sheet. As soon as I saw these fabulous shoes, it was love at first sight!
These shoes are so sexy and chic. I love the fact that they are made in two pieces and can be worn separately. The downside, however, is their extremely high price tag.
I would wear them with a black satin bubble skirt and a fitted white shirt .

As I went rushing to Barneys to find some dresses that I could wear at two press conferences that I am going to attend this coming week for my charity APCH and for Mothers Against Gang Violence, I came across these magnificent Lanvin pumps.
I knew I had to have them! Although they are a little pricey, these shoes are the pinnacle of elegance and sexiness. I love the fact that they also are timeless, which explains my need to buy them!
I will wear them with everything! Seriously they can be worn from morning to night with no problem, and they can be dressed down by pairing them with jeans or skinny pants.

I have been a big fan of Joie shoes since the company launched its first shoe collection two seasons ago.
It takes a special woman to wear Joie , because there is more than clothes or shoes behind the brand, it's also a concept and a way of life.
The Joie collections are understatedly chic and the shoes are no exception especially these fabulous vintage platform pumps, perfect for women looking for a casual, elegant and contemporary look with a Californian twist. Don't get me wrong--these pumps will be ideal with any kind of outfit from urban business suits to flirty dresses.
I just adore them.

I am truly impressed by Fendi's fall collection. So far, no flaws! All the shoes are sexy, yet elegant. These peep-toe strap sandals are a must-have for fall.
I love the warm, ruby red color and the mix of suede and leather. The pleated (slightly) detail adds so much cache to these super hot shoes.
I will pair them with grey, black, brown and dark green.
