*Jimmy Choo* Cedar Patent Shoe with Suede Trim

There’s something very distinctive about Jimmy Choo shoes (and no–it’s not just the price tag).  The reason may lie with the Jimmy Choo philosophy, which is to "create exclusive shoes…whilst creating a look instantaneously recognized as Jimmy Choo".  We can all agree that with this kind of stand-alone philosophy, the distinctive nature of the collection makes perfect sense.  The launch of the Jimmy Choo shoe and accessory line in 1996 set the bar for couture shoe-makers everywhere.  In fact, those fortunate enough to own a pair of shoes from the Jimmy Choo collection refer to their footwear not as ’shoes’, but as ‘Jimmy Choos’.  Speaks volumes, right?

My pick from the Autumn/Winter 2007 collection is the Jimmy Choo Cedar Patent Shoe pictured above.  The wide ankle strap, oversized buckle, and two-toned heel sets this Jimmy Choo apart from other mere shoes.  The suede trim and sexy patent shine are other details not to be missed.  Get your pair of Jimmy Choos now for $680.     

Christian Louboutin Men’s Evening Pump

The fabulous Mindy Kaling, writer, producer and actor portraying Kelly Kapoor in the beloved Office, recently wrote that Christian Louboutins “are shoes for sexually active women.” Much as I love her, the shoes themselves tend to disagree; Vivre has a Men’s Evening Pump available for $445 in black. The alternate views don’t show whether these shoes have the signature red sole, but my bet is yes—men and women alike deserve to feel like walking sex.

Chanel black patent high folded boots

Chanel black patent high folded boots 40% off at bluefly with embossed logo (not pictured), square toe, back zip closure, and leather lining. Additional details from bluefly include, “Chanel defines modern chic with classic elegance,” which, fair enough. Stomp on autumn leaves like broken hearts all season in these TDF boots.

Macee Boot by Bakers Shoes

Gear up for fall in this ultra sylish Macee Boot by Bakers.  Though available in black and dark brown, my favorite color in this style is the winter white pictured above (oh alright…it’s just bone-colored, but I like saying ‘winter white’).   I love the idea of a lighter color admist all the slate gray and black we’re sure to see this fall and winter.  Lighten (or darken if you wish) your boot collection with this mid calf stretch boot with 4" stiletto heel.  The button detail sets this boot apart from all of the other look-a-likes I’ve seen in stores lately and the $69.95 price tag is another fabulous detail sure to please.  

London Sole- Chole Snake flats

Snake skin pattern- along with alligator- seems to be everywhere this season.  I love these London Sole flats because they take a simple little ballet shoe and make it fierce and exotic with a great texture.  I would love to see these paired with something like jeans and a sweet ruffled button-down shirt.
