From seeing all the fall lines, purple is going to be huge! (Hilary will be so happy!!) Which is great because purple is fun, and it’s an easy way to incorporate color into your wardrobe. Although you can find purple in a more subtle fashion, these shoes are just young and fun! I love the purple suede, and the thick platform and heel should be comfortable! I can definitely see these shoes for a night of dancing!

I would wear them with some retro-looking flared jeans or a mini with bare legs or opaque tights once it gets cold. And for a “fun” shoe, the price is great!

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.

After bringing you two very expensive shoes today, here are some that are very reasonably priced, but very hot! At first I wasn’t sure about peep-toe oxfords, but I like how they’ve taken a traditional shoe and added an edge. And I think they will look great with short dresses or skirts and tights.

These shoes are simply gorgeous. I loved the ruched chiffon detail. The beading is very pretty, and not over done like you often see. They would be gorgeous with a little black dress or even evening trousers. I also love that designers are putting platforms in evening shoes now. Some of my most uncomfortable shoes are evening sandals or pumps with paper-thin soles. So my feet are really happy with this development!

The only caveat is the price. They are gorgeous, but I wouldn’t pay that much for them, not when you can buy pretty evening shoes from top designers for less. But I’ll certainly be looking for them to go on sale at the end of the season!

Oh my! These shoes are gorgeous! I have to admit that I have not added any genuine exotics to my shoe collection yet, and these might just be my first! 

First of all, the shape is gorgeous. Christian Louboutin knows how to make a woman look—and consequently feel—sexy. And he always takes that extra step. Covering the platform and interior of the peep toe really takes a fabulous shoe and makes it that more perfect! And the color is fabulous. And wow, against the signature red heel…divine! They will look great with black, but I’d pair them with a bright color as well!

Normally, I would not be drawn to a suede shoe with gold embellishments. In fact, I’d probably be running the other way. But something about these shoes is just screaming my name! I saw them on a model, and I couldn’t click through to find them on the site fast enough!

Now personally, I’m kind of a stickler for not wearing suede shoes like this until fall, but it will be worth waiting when you put these on with a sweet little tweed dress, like this Belted Dior.

I have to show you guys this sexy sandal in both yellow and black because I love them both for different reasons. To me, the shoe in yellow leather and a wooden heel and platform is going to be slightly more casual than the black. This is such a gorgeous shade of yellow that it will work with any skin tone, even for girls like me that normally can’t wear yellow. I also love the delicate, braided and rhinestone-adorned straps across the vamp and heel panel. I would wear the yellow version with a pretty sundress in the spring and summer.

The black version by virtue of being black is more of a dressy shoe, especially with the covered heel and platform. They would be appropriate for any evening event, year round.
 
The best news about these shoes is that they are so affordable, you can get both pair!

This deep reddish brown is all over for Fall.  The satin is spectacular for the tribute pump.  The lines are soft and the platform perfect (as always.) What else can we ask for? I would do these for evening with a cream colored dress or even something fun like a cobalt blue.

Kors Michael Kors Didi Platform Espadrille $240 Intermix 

korsdidicanvasplatformespadrilles240intermix.jpgGorgeous.  Something about these screams class and elegance (which to be honest is rare for an espadrille, if you ask me.)  Love the black toe detail.  I would do these with a pink dress, something super girly... or black leggings.

 Gorgeous.  I can feel the creativity here.  Love the pastel pink hue with the cream colored canvas. I got kind of bored with wedges and espadrilles for a while, but when I saw these, a breath of fresh air, it inspired me to take a second look at the sky high trend.  So pretty for summer dresses or jean shorts (high waisted are my fave.)

and... they are on SALE!
