Christian Louboutin Metallic Bow Pump

Find a girl who loves shoes and she’ll tell you that there’s no such thing as having too many Louboutins. Christian Louboutin makes just about the most covetable shoes around, thanks to his highly recognizable red heel. This Christian Louboutin Metallic Bow Pump is absolutely, positively, undeniably the most desirable shoe I have seen all year. The rich, black patent leather combined with the not–too-dainty, not-too-domineering metallic gold leather bow make for the perfect shoe for the holidays and beyond. Wear them everywhere this fall and winter! Available from Barneys New York for $720.

Steven by Steve Madden ‘Korect’ Pump

Steve Madden is the go-to guy for affordable, super-chic shoes that look like a million bucks. That’s why these Steven by Steve Madden ‘Korect’ Pumps are perfect for this fall. The thicker, cone-like heel not only keeps you stable while stomping the streets, but they look perfectly stylish for the season. The silhouette is cute without being overbearing, and the wide Mary-Jane buckled strap is the perfect match for your wide belt. A sweet choice for fall, from Nordstrom for just $128.95.

Hollywould Sadie Flat in Plum

Holly Dunlap, designer for Hollywould, makes some thoroughly desirable shoes. These Hollywould Sadie Flats in Plum fit the bill. They have a slight, 1/2" heel, making them perfect for the girl who can’t stand to have a flat flat. The plum patent is just dandy for fall, and the bow at the front is as charming as can be. Paired with textured tights, you’ll be all set for walking through the leaves! They’re available for $298 from Frankey’s.

*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.     

Sarah Jessica Parker’s BITTEN Collection

When Sarah Jessica Parker launched her BITTEN fashion line this summer, I thought I was losing my hearing when she announced that everything in the collection is under $20.  Available exclusively at Steve and Barry’s stores, the BITTEN collection largely reflects Sarah Jessica Parker’s personal style and offers everything from jeans to suit separates.  Sweaters, tops, jackets, dresses, bags, jewelry, and shoes are also part of the collection and range in size from XS-XXL in tops, 0-22 in bottoms, and 5-11 in shoes.  Why did Parker name the collection BITTEN?  Apparently, Parker was "bitten by the Steve and Barry’s bug" the first time she walked into a Steve and Barry’s store and her reaction subsequently became the name of the collection.  I, for one, am grateful to Sarah Jessica Parker for designing a fashionable, wearable, yet affordable collection accessible to all women.  Who doesn’t love a bargain? Get ‘bitten’ by Sarah Jessica Parker’s new BITTEN fall collection at a Steve and Barry’s near you.
