With Melvin’s Canvas Wedges, you are literally walking on the balls your feet – ouch! But they are so beautiful! No pain, no gain – right? Don’t we all suffer for fashion sake as some point in our lives? I know I do. And my feet could share many stories of pain to whoever wants to listen. The Canvas Wedges are a muted khaki accented with dark brown leather trim. They are simple enough to match with anything in your closet …

I am not too sure what to make of these Wedges by Georgette Ghingam. The black and white checkerboard print gives a sense of elegance while the pink embroidered flowers adds a more lighthearted and girly appeal - but is this wearable? A wedge for the summer is a given. Wedges are everywhere and is one of the “it” shoes for the season, but the print almost seems distracting as opposed to enticing. Perhaps the pink flowers are a little …

Utterly obnoxious or fashion forward? I can’t make up my mind. Either way, Stella MCartney’s Platform Pumps make you take notice. These eye blinding super hot pink satin pumps seem more appropriate for Eve’s Tambourine Video than even the most fashion conscious woman. But who am I to judge? If you can make these work then hats off to you. Heel measurements: 4″. Price: $595.

So what hasn’t Paris Hilton done yet? Designed her own shoe line! The heiress will soon be adding one more industry onto her “been there, done that” list (it’s gotta be a novel if she actually has one), and that’s footwear. Early next year Paris Hilton Footwear is scheduled to launch thanks to a recently signed licensing agreement with Antebi Footwear Group. Paris was quoted as saying “My goal is to create a stylish and fun fashion line from head to toe.”

During the summer months, sometimes it feels like the goal in getting dressed in the morning is to wear as little as possible just to stay cool. Of course you still want to be fashionable (and look respectable) without sweating like a pig. One of the things I hate most are sweaty feet – what an uncomfortable feeling! These Versace Scarf Thong Sandals may give your feet the breathing room they need. A modern and sophisticated …

I am a glutton for red accessories - whether a bag, pair of shoes, a belt, rubies - I love them all. The right shade of red can add the subtle touch of color to brighten up and add life to an outfit that may have worn out its welcome long ago. Not only are the Cole Haan Cassidy Boots ultra fashionable and sexy, without feeling like a lady of the night, but they feature Nike Air Technology to provide extra cushioning for …

Yow! (as my husband would say) these Stiletto Heels by Bruno Frisoni are sexy! And maybe part “lady of the night-ish” with its gold toned spiked heels. But I would totally try to make them reflect a sense of sex appeal rather than reflect a sense of accepting cash for services. Probably more appropriate for evening affairs, if worn during the day, these Frisoni’s Stiletto Sandals would certainly upgrade the typical jeans and cute top ensemble. Price: $595.

This has to be one of the more low-key designs by the notorious and outrageous Betsey Johnson. With the exception that they have a texture cork body, they are actually pretty normal looking shoes. Shoes that you could actually wear to work or for going out. The Jordan Pumps feature an open round toe with 4″ heels and a light padding for a hint of comfort. I especially like the three leather strips running across the vamp. Overall, …

If you are running out of places to put your diamonds, consider your sneakers. The perfect accessory to those pricey limited edition sneaks just might be Kickbars, jewel-encrusted shoelace clips. The bars, which feature emeralds, sapphires, rubies and diamonds set in white gold, can also be used on bracelets and necklaces. The original Kickbar has 54 G color, VS1 diamonds pave set into the rectangular bar (a total weight of 2 carats) and sells for $7500.

Traveling by plane is always an adventure. Rarely does the experience go as smoothly as one is hoping. I recently experienced a 6 hour flight delay and didn’t get on my flight till 2 am! One of the things that I was grateful for while sitting in an uncomfortable chair for 6 hours was that I was dressed comfortably. In the past I have traveled with heels and my feet ended up killing me by the time I landed. I have learned my lesson …
