Wild, Sexy Shoes?

Seems like shoes are taking a walk on the wild side! Check out these Christian Louboutin and Jill Stuart platforms. Are they sexy, or just slutty? Personally, I love touches of animal print and snake skins – they are just a little dangerous…

While you ponder that question, check out the shoes and play the game on this site!

Ellen Tracy Slides

I love these Ellen Tracy shoes. They would be great with the new longer shorts, a great skirt, or jeans.

A. Marinelli Shoes

Recently a friend told me about some great shoes made by A. Marinelli.  Since we love shoes, I had to look… among some really cute shoes from here, I really liked these shoes. (Thanks Sleuth!)

Check out these shoes! They have that great look made so famous by Audrey Hepburn. For some really cute accessories for your shoes go here and take a look! (As usual, I digress!!)

However, take a look at these shoes; they are great for work or a night out that is not quite formal, yet not totally casual….

Or look at these great sandals,  great with this season’s cute skirts!

Christian Louboutin Pumps… Sweet and Sexy

I love these pumps by Christian Louboutin. They evoke the sounds of the Andrews Sisters and the 1940’s.

Remember how stunning the clothes were then? Ah, but I digress…. Take a look at these pumps and let me know if they remind you of when clothes were just a little more glamorous.

Salvatore Ferragamo Slides into Summer Style

I love the trendy, retro look of these slides.  I am reminded of some of the best summers of my life by these shoes.  Take a look at these two slides, they would look great with jeans, the new longer Bermuda shorts or a great denim skirt.

Carlos Santana Shoes for Every Taste

Carlos Santana not only has been a mainstay in many musical collections, he also has a great collection of shoes. I think these pumps are perfect with slacks:

and these slingbacks are a great, trendy addition to any modern “work” suit :

So Carlos our shoe is off to you… you have hit a high note with your entire collection.

One of the reasons I love the designs of Carlos Santana is that there is something for everyone in his collection. There are cool, funky wedgies as well as “work appropriate” shoes. It’s a collection with something for everybody!!


White Sandals… They’re Back!

Just like the return of Dr. Scholl’s original wooden sandals, white sandals are making a comeback.  There are so many cute styles to choose from I may have to give it up and grab a pair.  Usually,  I am not a fan of white shoes but these are cute!! 

 

Check out these three styles from gladiator shoes, ballet flats to thongs   – All in white! Take a look at these from Banana Republic and Ann Taylor:

Summer’s Coming!!

Thanks to those who have held this together while I couldn’t post… but I am here now!!! I love shoes, I love expensive shoes, inexpensive shoes, flats, heels, and anything except sensible shoes!!!

You remember sensible shoes, don’t you? They were those ugly nondescript, sexless shoesJane9to5 that went with the woman’s equivalent of a man’s gray suit. You know… back when IBM was in its heyday, and the uniform looked like this?

Since those days are long gone… thank God! I wanted to start off by mentioning the one thing I think we all need to know before summer and those sexy, strappy heels…. how to walk in them! I found this article written by Desiree Stimpert on About.com covering that very subject.

I love these Jimmy Choo sandals, can you imagine what they will do for your legs??
