New Choos Revealed!

{Photo and story here}

So, we all know about the H&M - Jimmy Choo colabo coming up right? Well the first photo has been leaked....thigh high leather {I assume?} round toe boots. I'm not so sure I'm too excited about these. And...for $345. At H&M? Really? I know they're Choos but isn't the point of H&M colabos to be present designer fashions at a more reasonable price point to the masses? Personally, I think it's still a little steep for something we can find somewhere else for less, I'm sure.

Sorry I've been MIA. MAY-JA issues at work. Just having been feeling the bloggin' lately...I'm trying to push myself thru to get to the happy side again....

Gap's New Fall Shoes!

When did Gap get so cool with their shoes? When Pierre Hardy started designing collections for them! These are a sneak peak at the his collection for this fall! The foldover boots, seen here in khaki and beige, also come in navy and grey. I'm pretty sure I want every color. I love the shearling lining. And those gladiator style pumps are glorious!! Oh how I want it all!! I'll be dreaming of them every night until mid-September when they are set to be released in all Gap stores. I'll be first in line : )

Valentino Couture Details

My new obsession. I would give up my first born for these. Or something along those lines ; )

To die for. I love edgy Valentino! Such a change!

I actually really love this. Great champagne-y color. 

Big bows!!

Fantastic flats. Great way to dress something up!! Love the feathers. 

When you hire the accessories designers to head up the main collections, you are sure to have killer shoes.

Shoegasms

Um, well hello Mr. Louboutin....won't you join me in my closet?

{ps}

Yes...I need these

Oh Mr. Kirkwood, you've just outdone yourself. I thought your pieces for Rodarte were absolutely stunning, but now...wow. Look at those platforms! Floor grazing fur! Snake skin! Yes, I must get my hands on these. PRONTO. Now, I just to raise a few hundred (or thousand) dollars and I'll be good to go. 

Absolutely stunning. 

Kudos Mr. Kirkwood. Kudos.

Yes Please

The "Must Have Sandals" From Rachel Zoe

So I'm pretty sure most of us shoe lovers and fahionites are aware of this already, but Rachel Zoe is predicting wedges, flats, and platforms as the "it" shoes for the summer {I'm a little unsure of what else that leaves but moving on.... ; ) }

I actually found some great "Rachel Zoe Picks" on Piperlime that I would most definitely love to add to my summer wardrobe. What do we think? 

Vince Camuto Blaze

Would be great with with a bright colored maxi dress or jumpsuit. The neutral color would be a great anchor for a colorful outfit. Love the metallic gold. 

Cynthia Vincet Raine

Pretty sure I'm obsessed with everything Cynthia does lately. *See Luella Sandals to the right*

I love the simplicity of these and the pop of color. What a great staple sandal for the summer. Good pick Ms. Zoe!

Giuseppe Zanotti E90286 

Um, hello sexy shoe!! Not that I expected anything less from Giuseppe but I just love love love this pick. The platform and the cut out detail is gorgeous! And I love the nude/black combo. 

Check out more of Rachel Zoe's pick on Piperlime right here!

Style.com Fall 2009 Accessories Guide

So Style.com has put out an accessory guide to Fall 2009 collections. There are over 500 picks and I have chosen just a few to get started. I might consider breaking this up into multiple days and showing off some more AMAZING and TO DIE FOR pieces....oh to be wealthy ; )

Anna Sui Leather Messenger Bag

{the tassel and metallic detail are fantastic. Just the bag I've been looking for}

Balenciaga Suede Sandal

{Can we say SEXY?! Tough and sensual all at the same time!}

Balenciaga Suede Cage Bootie with Sash

{The sash just makes it spectacular, don't you think?}

Bottega Veneta Truffle Karung Bag 

{The detail on this bag is stupendous! I would literally kill for this bag}

Bruno Frisoni Heel with Fan Detail

{The fan just makes this so much cooler! And in magenta? Yes, I'll take one pair please}

Chanel Camelia Headband

{Such a glamourous way to wear a headband. Absolutely gorgeous}

Chanel Ring Heel

{An interesting twist to a classically shaped shoe. Chanel and Prada always have the most interesting heel detail}

Chloe Lace Up Suede and Leather Boot

{An awesome dressed up boot for fall. Love what this was paired with on the runway...}

Christian Louboutin Double Platform Bootie

{The always beautiful hidden platform. And in classic CL ankle booties. Love this!}

Christian Louboutin Rabbit Fur Clutch

{I am still so conflicted on how I feel about fur for fashion. However can't you just imagine the feel of this? And look at the clasp detail! Two classic CL pumps! How fantastic!}

Coach Motorcycle Boot

{Now, I'm usually not a fan of Coach (a little boring and overrated if you ask me, actually!) but these boots are quite fantastic. I love the buckle detail and the chunky heel. Funky but not so funky they can't be worn often!}

More accessories here {however I think I will be sharing more this week!}

Happy Mama's Day!

So I discovered what might be the saddest thing ever in my shoe world. The fabulous Cynthia Vincent Luella gladiator wedges (see right) that I have been LUSTING over for quite a while went on sale and I MISSED IT!!! They were dirt cheap (and by this they were still nearly $200) on Gilt the other day and I didn't check my email until that evening. STUPID. MORON. IDIOT. Sold out. DAMN IT! Not that I have enough money for them but I'm sure I could have figured something out. This is what I get for trying to get out of the apartment and not be on my computer for a few hours ; )

I now must find a new lust. Actually I've already got about A MILLION but whatev....And I need to check my email constantly everyday before noon. Damn you Gilt Groupe!!! 

HAPPY MAMA'S DAY!

Love you : )

Late Night with Jennifer Aniston

Okay so I'm not a huge Jimmy Fallon fan but I am a HUGE Jennifer Aniston fan! This interview isn't particularly fascinating but I just love how amazing Jennifer looks. I. WANT. HER. HAIR. NOW. PERIOD. It looks amazing. As does the rest of her. Always. I think she is just adorable and so at ease with herself and it's so great to watch. My life would be complete if I ever got to meet her...here's hoping!
ps: her shoes are amazing!

Closets and Beer

SO hilarious! Honey, this is why we need to make lots of money ; ) Oh the simple pleasures in life....

Gisele's photoshoot for Harper's April issue. Photographs by Peter Lindbergh, one for each decade and the look of the times but with current designer pieces. This one in particular was for the 60s. I have been lusting after those Gucci shoes for ages now....I'm pretty sure if I looked like her, I would be rocking this outfit all day everyday. 

See more photos from the shoot here. Or just check out the April U.S. issue of Harper's!

Shoegasms

Oh designer shoes. I oogle you daily. I am in danger of extreme dehydration due to excessive drooling over your beautiful lines. I hope you will grace my closet with your presence someday. 

{I am painfully aware this may be much much later rather than the much more preferred sooner}

More drool-inducing shoes here

Love...

The Shoe Gods are Mocking Me

Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte

In the words of the ever-so-eloquent Rachel Zoe,

I. DIE.

Thanks to Jak & Jil {a fantastic new find in and of itself!}

"A woman with good shoes is never ugly."

Coco Chanel

Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink

I have been lusting after Frye boots for an eternity. Any of these will do... {for future reference, of course....hint hint, baby} I just love how versatile they can be. Dressed up, dressed down, you wear a pair of these and you're an official badass. If only the cost didn't drain my bank account...

Alas, I will continue to sit here and drool over what I cannot possess anytime in the near future...

Midsummer Night's Date

1/50 - Oh won't you please forgive me... - by Alex Poesy (very busy) on Polyvore.com

In love with this skirt. I think this would be a fantastic look for a late summer date night. I just adore the whole vibe of this set. So sophisticated. 

Oh how I long for summer. And a date night : )

Off-Runway Finds

So simple yet so chic. I love fashion week!

Probably in the top 5 of greatest shoes ever worn.
