Style Report: Fall Shoes

Miu Miu Bootie via The Glitter Guide

One of my favorite things about each new fashion season is seeing the new shoe styles - because, quite honestly, I am a complete shoe addict. From stiletto's to flats, I love them all - love how many variations there are, how they are like little works of art for your feet.

This fall, the shoe collections are big on wedges, high-healed loafers, bright colorful pumps, satin fabrics, patent leather, booties, ankle straps and thick chunky heels. Here are some of my personal favorite picks for the season...

First up - booties! I love them paired with tights and short feminine skirts, or mini-dresses. They make me feel so rocker-chic and like a true fashionista.

Next up -wedges! I am a big fan of the wedge - mostly because I can get the height without quite as much pain as a stiletto. I am dying over the leopard print wedge - if I could only pick one shoe this fall, that could quite possibly be it.

Brightly colored pumps are next. I wish I had more of this kind of shoe in my closet - its such a fun way to jazz up an outfit and add a little punch to an all black ensemble during the fall or winter months.

Since purple is one of my favorite colors of all time, I naturally had to pick my favorites in every shade of this lovely hue. The Jimmy Choo bootie is amazing and so glamorous, but I also love the D'Orsay loafer with the low heel from Oscar de la Renta - I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it before.

And finally, a few simply stunning white and black options that make my little heart go pitter-patter. Especially the cream feathered ones from Christian Dior - imagine them under your wedding dress - be still my heart!

Now, if I could just fill my closet with one of each of these fabulous pairs of shoes, I would be the luckiest fashionista in the world. 

Which one would you pick if you could pick only one?

For the Love of Shoes...

Or, shoe porn. Or, some of the most beautiful shoes I have ever seen in my life. These are some of my all time favorites. And with my ridiculous, over the top love for shoes, to narrow it down to these and say they are my favorites...well, that's something. As Ms. Carrie Bradshaw once put it..."Hello, Lover".

That color! Those bows...I dream of these shoes.

If it's got a ridiculously high heel and it sparkles or glitters, I will probably swoon over it.

Can you imagine a more perfect wedding shoe?

The color, the studs, the clear plastic sides, the insane height, Brian Atwood is a genius.

I don't know who made these shoes, but talk about diamonds on the soles of your feet. I DIE.

I love the look of the rock-n-roll snakeskin with a soft ribbon ankle tie. Tough but sweet.

Can you say stylish and ultra-chic Alice in Wonderland?

 These shoes are hot. The vibrant red and the crazy exposed platform, with the ruffled wing-like decoration on the back? Yowza.

This is the kind of heel that a klutz like me would absolutely break her ankle in, but the little cluster of jewels is just irresistible!

 Hot pink, peep toe, platform pumps with diamante decorations - need I say more?

The detailing on the back of this shoe has captured my heart. That, and the fact that its pink. Patent-leather pink. Drool.
