Shoes to buy... ASAP

I love fall fashion more than anything. Blacks can be worn without stares in return, tights come back to hide the lack of tanning and, most importantly, fall shoes are appropriate.

In my mind, the fall season starts now. I am seriously stretching it, but once it gets to the point where I can wear pants comfortably, my fall shoes come out of the closet.

Here are the top shoe trends to buy now!

1. Reptile skin

These don't even need a description about why they should be on your fall wish list, but I'll give you one anyways since I haven't written in a couple weeks. They're elegant and sexy; tough and demure. A girl can wear them to class or while out trying to score a job. 

2. Platform Wedge Boots.

Giuseppe Zanotti

ALDO

Platform boots are my absolute downfall. I wear them until the soles are gone, and my friends are embarassed to be seen with me because my shoes are falling apart. That is why you need a pair. NOW. They are comfy and you can add six inches to your height, easy. How badly do you want those magenta babes on you? They'll make any cold day instantly brighter. 

3. Ankle Straps

Lanvin

Prada

I don't think this is a trend I'll be trying out anytime soon, but the ankle strap is a great way to make your legs look AMAZING. Bring the look into fall by wearing with a sheer black tight and tight leather dress.


4. Bad-ass Boots

Michael Kors

Vince Camuto

Because how good does it feel to look like a badass and still wear pretty shoes? They handle the cold, keep your feet dry, and work while you're running from show to show in fashion week.

5. NEON

Fendi

Neon is still kicking ass in summer trends, so why not embrace it and rock it through fall? I am ever so guilty of relying on my dark clothes, but I am committing to neon this fall.





Since I haven't written in forever, I apologize! School is kicking back up soon, which, ironically, means I'll have way more time to write. Plus I'll be in the same city as Mel again (finally!) and can kick her back into shape because I know you love your sex posts!

shoedazzle

Maybe I'm late learning about this or have been living under a rock, or whatever, but until yesterday I had never heard of Shoedazzle. Apparently women love this site because you can get shoes for $39.95 a pair. And since everyone's favourite style icon Kim Kardashian helps to choose the site, I could not resist checking it out.

(I really hope you caught the sarcasm there.)

Since I clearly have nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon than avoid the sun, I spent a little bit of time playing around on this site. I clicked some boxes under pretty shoes and then was told to wait for a little bit until my 'ShoeDazzle Stylists' had my personalized showroom complete.

The wait was definitely not worth it. The shoes looked cheap and like they would fall apart after a couple wears. It hurt me a little, just because I am so in love with shoes and will usually give everything a chance.

These shoes don't do anything for me either.

I guess all in all I'm frustrated with this service and won't be using it. I suppose I can't be expecting stunning shoes for that amount of money, but I was expecting something a little better.

However, I feel there is a a little positive to my test of the site. I really love the look of this pair. They're simple but would spice up a skinny jean in a second!

new fave designer!

Here's a little treat to brighten up your screen in the middle of your work day. Pierre Hardy's Spring 2011 line is delicious, luxurious and colourful. I'm loving the lines and shapes made on the shoes. Mu number one pick? The grey wedge with the yellow stripe along the back. I can't take my eyes off that sly pop of colour!

So who is Pierre Hardy? He's a shoe designer/stylist/artist from France and his lines are always lovely. He's worked on the shoe collections at Christian Dior, Hermes and Balenciaga. His shoes are so stunning because of his background in art. He takes influence from design, architecture and contemporary art to produce his unique and artsy shoes.

2006 was a great year for Hardy, when he won Designer of the Year by Footwear News and Best Design 2006 Shoes by Wallpaper Magazine.

What do you guys think of these shoes? Are you in love like me or are they a little too much for you?

I'll admit it - the first pair is un petit peu crazy for me.
