Now there is a new way to spot who the VIPs are at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Just look at their shoes. Fashion Week Daily reports on the Puma Las Vegas Baskets, a special-edition sneaker that will be given away to the hotel’s VIP and celebrity guests. There are only 200 pairs of the leather sneakers, which come in a purple velvet, gold-roped bag and will be available in white with green or …

I am such a huge of of Louis Vuitton that it pains me when their classic, stylish design gives way to the trendier, in-your-face marketing ploy that I feel I’m seeing more and more of these days. Where is the balance? The Louis Vuitton Tupelo Buckles Sandal allows the vibrant color to be bold, but its paired with a sexy and classically styled shoe, which brings down the shock value a bit. Who knew …

The eighties have really come back into fashion! I saw hints of it for sometime and hoping that I was overreacting - but no, it is true. It’s here. What’s scarier to me is that the 80’s do not feel like that long ago, to have it come back so soon. The DKNY Annabella Ruched Bootie is one of many 80’s examples that we will see this coming Fall/Winter season. Pair these with leggings, a long …

The Fall Collection from Cole Haan is pretty fierce. They certainly have a few misses, but the pieces that do stand out, really stand out. The G Series Buckingham High Boot is far from in-your-face trendy, which gives it more lasting appeal and worth the money. Made from a waxy nubuck, the braided detailing and blue grey color tone are subtle characteristics that together help this boot to separate itself from the rest. …

Although sexy and a bit vampy, Louis Vuitton Tupelo Soleil Wood Sandals look like they will cause some serious pain after a few short hours. The patent leather t-strap sandal features a 1″ wooden platform with a 3 3/4″ heel, and thankfully a toe pad. The golden accents appear a bit bold against the luminescent patent leather, but pair this with a more subdued aseemble, and the vampy look will not be as noticeable. Price: …

From the side view, the geometric pattern that is formed from the crocodile skin and the outline of Cynthia Rowley’s Peep Toe Heels is eye catching. The front view is less aesthetically pleasing. The lavender suede trim offsets the brown nicely. A great shoe for work or play. The thick heel measures at 3.5″ and would look great with a suit or skirt. Price: $211.

Are you in love with all of the boot/shoe that seem to have emerged back into fashion? Check out Kenneth Cole’s Boxed in Pumps. They feature an almond toe and a 3 1/2″ heel. The velvet shoe laces are an unexpected touch. My instinct is to wear them with pants, but they would probably look best with opaque tights and a skirt. Seen here in brick, it is also available in black. Price: $285.

Finding a pair of black tall boots, may seem like a simple enough task, but for any woman who has tried to accomplish this, you know what I’m talking about. You might as well start your search now. Consider the Kenneth Cole Metal-ing Kid Boot which features leather covered buckles along the side and a 3″ heel. Tall boots are so versatile because you can wear them with anything and you can carry them over through …

Marc Jacobs Petal Heels are a bit leprechaun-ish with its turned up toe and rich green color. But, with wide leg pants, they actually look great. If you love height, these round toe heels are just over 4″ and would be perfect. If you are a bit hesitant about these check the outfit paired with it. They are slowly making a good impression on me. Price: $495.

Betty Muller puts a funky color palette to a classic and conservative shoe. Her loafer style heels are vibrant in color even with its incorporation of typical fall colors. The green leather trim and tassel gives it a pop of color to break up the more muted colors of orange and brown. The heel measures at 2.25″. Price: $385.
