Lanvin Patent-python ballerina flats

When I think of sexy, “ballerina flat” does not exactly jump to my mind. It is rare to find a sexy flat, let alone a sultry ballerina flat. But Lanvin has found a way to jazz up an adorable favorite and turn it into a wear-anywhere- saucy little number. The patent-python flat actually has a [...]

Yves Saint Laurent Woodstock Platform Sandals

At first I was like, “Holy Frankfurter drag queen!!” But then I see that the height is all in the platform and the incline is really quite mild. But still, Holy Hella High, if you step wrong or have one too many martinis, your ankles will be in a cast for 4-6 weeks. The leather [...]

Hollywood’s crush on Brian Atwood

This month, Brian Atwood has been stepping out all over the red carpet with some of Hollywood’s hottest females. Megan Fox wore his Calf Hair Platform Pump to Spike TV’s Scream award show at the Greek Theatre on October 16. Cheryl Cole stepped out in the Balleto platform sandals, while Kate Hudson went for the [...]

Roberto Cavalli takes a walk on the (really) wild side

Okay, seriously, I am all for wearing things that are out there and that push the envelope, but I cannot think of one circumstance as to when I would wear this boot. The calf hair thigh-high boots feature tiger print in front with giraffe print in back, which is a bold move. Mixing animal prints [...]

Michelle Obama in Tory Burch Connell Boots

The First Lady definitely knows how to “rough it” in style. At this week’s White House Kitchen Garden Fall Harvest festival, the ever stylish Michelle Obama opted for a rugged yet chic pair of black leather boots over rubber Wellies or traditional gardening boots while meeting with local schoolchildren as she worked in the gardens. [...]

Rock & Republic Gabriel Studded Suede Booties

I’m starting to tire of two trends in shoes: peep toe booties and studs, what about you?  Platforms, however, I will never get sick of and though these Rock & Republic studded booties aren’t terrible I think it would have been a better shoe had it been made with covered toes and a tad less [...]

Valentino Crystal Zebra Slingback

While everyone has on leopard print, you will stand out with this negative space zebra pattern that is just as unique and ingenious as you are! The design of this is astoundingly brilliant. The pieces are held together ever so cleverly so it looks like it is floating when you have it on. The shoe [...]

Kukoo for Kooba Boots!

I had no idea Kooba made shoes until I visited the showroom in NYC a couple of weeks ago and I certainly had no clue how cool the shoes were. I almost forgot to look at the bags as I tried on several pairs, determined to find one that fit (I felt like the evil [...]

Alejandro Ingelmo Crosby Booties

I walked by these booties at FortyFiveTen (the coolest boutique in Dallas), grabbed them off the display, tried one on and shouted “I’ll take these”. Not missing a single beat while chatting with a friend and holding on to my 6 year old at the same time. A professional shoe shopper you say? Absolutely. I [...]

Bride Snob Top Ten

As an expert bridesmaid (3 this summer alone and another one coming up next month) I found that shoes were on the brides mind very early on in the planning stages. Should they go with blue, should they stick with white, what if the heel is too high, what if they are too sexy, what [...]
