Oxford booties remain strong this fall. They have walked off the runway to meet our urban lives, and I love them!
Back in France, we used to call this style "Richelieu" probably in tribute to the Cardinal de Richelieu better know for his leading role in the Alexandre Dumas novel The Three Musketeers.
Anyway, I will pair these babies with chic, pleated pants or with dresses. Another option is a pencil skirt and white blouse for a "femme fatale" look.

For fall, the Richelieu shoes are making a huge come back. These classic shoes were named after the famous cardinal de Richelieu, Prime Minister of France under Louis XIII [richelieu]. However they are coming back with a totally new look, featuring a round toe and a huge array of color.
This week my heart goes out to these fabulous Richelieus. I just love them. The pointed toe and the heel adds a very victorian yet sexy look to these shoes.

The collection: absolutely stunning sophisticated and elegant at the same time. And the shoes are out of this world.
The Neapolitan born shoe designer Ernesto Esposito has succeeded on creating in my opinion one of his most intriguing shoe collection.
Here are my favorites:
I loved These fabulous brown suede studded richelieu shoes, the deconstructed heel is totally new and they just look fabulous weather with pants or with black tights and a simple dress. Actually Fendi had some models trying the clothes and the shoes, these Richelieu were worn simply with black tights and a little brown dress, it was so chic.
I totally adored these black suede and leather peep-toe platform sandals, the round platform look fabulous and feel soft and rubbery to the foot for a maximum comfort. They would look great with a pair of Jean's and will carry you trough the night with a dress or a skirt.
I also loved the Black suede studded sling back Mary-jane. They also have the deconstructed heel and look amazingly sexy.
Stay tuned on the shoegoddess.net for more on the Fendi saga.

Those shoes are called Richelieu. They were named after the famous Cardinal of Richelieu, minister of Louis the XIII king of France.
Those shoes are a far reminder of the one worn at "la cour de France"
I love them they are as pretty as a pair of pump,with the comfort of sneakers perfect for a day out .They look fantastic with skirts adding a very classy touch.
