One of the coolest things this holiday season is that with the financial turmoil  in NYC is that everyone has a sale! Some are better than others …A pair of festive sequined Marc Jacobs pumps for less than 150 dollars that is a steal!

Metallic Marc Jacobs Pumps @ Barneys !

Rupert Sanderson based in the Uk ,is a footwear designer whose philosophy rests on the simple concept of less is more:

"Avoiding augmentation and over dressing the foot he concentrates on perfecting line, volume and material to flatter and lengthen the leg, and make women feel sexier.  His inspiration comes from the materials themselves; from the sensual curve and silhouettes of the lasts and heels, to the quality and finish of the best leather and fabrics."

To look at his line you truly see his philosophy in action.The shapes are simple yet,very refined with the occasional more "risque"creations like the  platform loafers above.

There are alot of hot shoes out there.However Nicholas Kirwood, is one designer’s creations who has the ability to just make me stare.His use of shapes , colors and details not only challenges what I think I,  like in shoes but places the shoes themselves in a  modern almost sci-fi dimension that just makes me weak in the knees.Nicholas Kirkwood Lattice Front peep toe ,Available @ Browns

For s/s 09  Givenchy ’s  color palette for footwear is mostly dark,aside from one standout hot pink fabulosity on the next page.There is just such an edge edge about these zebra -print sandals with the metal tip,that say "don’t mess with me" , that we could not resist…

Charlotte Olympia’s siamese a mix of two animal prints are subtle and funky at the same time.It’s the kind of shoe that adds pizzaz to any outfit.Available @ Browns

The thought of banana hued footwear can sometimes cause some of us to shrink back. But when I saw these sandals by Ferragamo I  had to pause in awe. Yellow is really not that hard to wear.Pair it with puple and you will be amazed!

Vans has done a boatload of collabos this year, but I think I like this one the best so far. Not just cuz the Bad Brains were an amazing band that never got its due propers, but also cuz they’re a good fit with Vans. Makes sense somehow.

Other side: more tees and three pairs of shoes, including those Chukkas!

Lois featured a few styles from Browns

Dolce Vita’s Viola remind me of Vivienne westwood,love the color contrast the hidden platform and of course the ultra high heel.

Available at Dolce Vita

With Dior adding a statue reminiscent of the "Venus Hottentote" as a heel to a sandal I can say that we are living some of the most exciting times in accessories, with alot of design houses creating pieces that are if anything museum worthy!
