>I can’t tell whether a mannequin has lost its foot or if this is one of the more outrageous designs by Christian Louboutin. As it is so fittingly named, the Striped Ankle Boot is unique, to say the least, though I can’t speak to its wearability. And not the wearability meaning relating to its durability after long periods of use, I mean the other kind of wearability - is a actual person able to wear them and not look crazy? I’m not too sure. Although …

> Yes the Summer is escaping us and Fall is here - or at least on a part time basis - but that doesn’t mean we should say goodbye to our peep toe beauties. Incorporate them into your Fall wardrobe by wearing opaque tights. Or if the weather is manageable then skip the tights all together. Loeffler Randall’s Pumps are refreshingly sweet and charming with its ruffle detailing. At 2 1/2″ the suede covered heel is enough to provide …

> If you are loving the fun that designers are having with buttons on shoes, then set your eyes on the Adrienne Button Boot by Frye. The round toe tall boot encompasses comfort and style to create the ultimate boot for the season. The sole is made from polyurethane, which will not give you as much flexibility when walking compared to a rubber sole, however, it gives enough flexibility that they don’t feel stiff. The front buttons are purely for decoration, giving …

> There are some things that we don’t know we want unless we see it - and I want these glittery shoes by Christian Louboutin. I never knew that I would posses a liking nor have the desire to want shiny, glittery shoes but I do. And why not? Dorothy loved her glittery red shoes and they brought her good luck. I am sure that these will too. And yes, I realize that Dorothy is a fictional character from the Wizard of Oz, but just go with me on …

>Mid-Calf Boots can be tricky to wear, at least for me. It seems as though mid calf boots can’t decide between being a tall or a short boot. And that drives me crazy! I’m not a fan of the in-between. And what do I wear them with? Do I wear mid-calf boots with short or long skirts, shorts or mid-calf shorts? I just don’t know. But dare I say that Jonathan Kelsey has changed my mind? These super sleek and sexy boots are ultra feminine yet so fierce. …

>It’s as though a green snake ate a pair of platform pumps and we now have this. It’s not as though the Dior Pumps are ugly, but they certainly are exotic and unparalleled to anything that I have ever come across. It’s double knotted ties and ankle straps add a touch of girliness to an otherwise extravagant and slightly off the wall pair of platform pumps. The half twisted pieces of leather throughout is edgy and funky. What an awesome pair of platforms …

>Is it just me or are oversized buttons/snaps being used on shoes more and more these days? They seem be the new “it” accessory for shoes. I’ve been seeing them in all my favorite stores and online shopping sites. And you can’t help but to appreciate and be drawn to its girlish appeal that has somehow morphed itself into a high fashion accent. Bruno Frisoni’s Patent Flats are a great example of this. They are simply designed, leaving the oversized metallic plaque …

I cannot think of a time when feathers were used on any piece of clothing or accessory to create something extraordinary. The two images that immediately come to my mind is the swan dress that Sergio Rossi’s Ankle Strap Slides into a more fashionable state. I need more than feathers and clusters of beads to make me part with $1250. Beyond the feathers, this seems to be an overpriced pair of simple pointy slides.

In today’s age of motion and touch sensors and every other kind of high-tech gadget we’ve got for security of precious goods, Harrods in London recently took a unique step to protect a pair of very expensive shoes: they hired a poisonous cobra to stand (sit? slither?) guard.

Obviously this was a publicity stunt, not a real security effort, but I say good for them. That’s pretty clever, and for all intents and purposes it worked. The …

The darling shoes shown here are the tamest selections from chocolatier Theobroma Cacao’s new Erotique collection.
