All I want for Christmas is….
You!!!
And these Bottega Veneta booties. I’ve been a good girl this year 
And their on sale at Net-A-Porter.com!
Yes!!! Jimmy Choo’s shoes for H&M are real leather! All the shoes, which include over-the-knee boots, zebra-print stilettos, open-toe booties, and a few flat styles, are all real leather. Most styles are under $200 (the over the knee boots are $300) and stores across the city and one in California are stocked up. The line rolled out this week and hundreds of people camped out as early as 3 a.m. to make sure they got their “Choo fix”. Was it worth it?
Balenciaga Lego shoes
Steve Madden multi-colored pumps
OK, these pumps are from a couple seasons ago, but they were very popular among stars like Beyonce, so I want to get your opinions. I personally don’t have a place for something like this in my closet, space is tight in NYC! The colors are cool but the design and materials are so bulky and weird. I appreciate that the Balenciaga designer took inspiration from snowboarding boots, but sometimes things are lost in translation. They’re a bit too sporty and not feminine enough and there’s just too much going on with the mesh, zippers, studs… The most hideous part about the whole thing is the price that these pumps sold at- $4000!!! Then Steve Madden created their knock-off version and brought the price down to about $200, but still about $150 more then they’re worth.
The Paris Fashion Show is cutting edge when it comes to crazy clothes, shoes, make-up and hair. Here is where the top fashion houses (Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, Lanvin…) show off their eccentric designs in the most outrageous runway shows. The hair and make-up are usually hideous, because nothing says haute couture like Joker make-up and bedhead hair. Anyway, it is what it is, but lets not forget that at the end of it all the clothes and shoes seen at these shows are setting the path for the rest of the fashion industry to follow. Whether you like the big shoulder pads and elephant shoes or not, chances are you’ll be wearing some mutation of them in the next year. Sometimes, though, designers like Valentino and Miu Miu like to focus on their clothes and not on making a spectacle of the whole thing, and they tend to bring us some fabulous looks that we can all relate to. Here are some of the latest shoes from the Paris Runways, you decide if you love it or hate it.
YSL multi-strap platform sandals
Lanvin black and nude chain-accented snake pumps 
Valentino lacy pumps
Sorry Alexander McQueen but these are just down right ugly and painful looking

As you may know, ShoeSeen.com is hard at work covering the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and witnessing the unveiling of what will be Spring’s hottest new looks. Here’s a photo from the Farah Angsana fashion installation at The Royalton Hotel.
The godess looks of these three gowns are spectacular. Very feminine and chic but not too over the top. The bright colors are classic Spring looks but work well year round. The attention to detail on these gowns is amazing especially the mirrored embroideries, and the selection of sweethear, halter and strapless cuts means there’s something flattering for evey woman.
Let us know what you think of Farah Angsana’s collection

Is that a BCBG blouse?
The final walk at the BCBG fashion show, tune in later for more photos of the show…
The latin designer Cesar Galindo and one of his models walking the runway at the finale.
Galindo is already being praised for his use of black and Asian models in this show.
Shoes for the Galindo show were provided by Michael Antonio.
This was my favorite piece from the collection- ‘Lara’: Platinum silk short puffed sleeve with wide Chinese collar jacket with cigarette pant.
I love the versatility of pants and jacket suits because you immediately have two items that can be used with what you already have in your closet. This jacket, for instance, can easily be paired with a simple black dress or pencil skirt for a special office affair. While the splendid pants can go with any top for a special occasion or everyday office wear.

Yesterday hundreds of women lined up for hours to take advantage of up to 70% discounts on Jimmy Choo shoes. ShoeSeen.com was there to check-out what women were wearing and to do a little shopping 
There were plenty of pumps, sandals, boots and handbags for the lucky ones who could find their size and the discounts were large. The shoes started at $210 and went up to about $400 for the boots. The selection of handbags was a little small but the discounts were also pretty good. All in all it was a great day for shoe lovers.
Alright people, what do you think of these tall gladiators? They were first introduced in 2007 but the look didn’t really take off. Actually Mary-Kate Olsen loves them and was seen sporting the look early on, but she might have been the only one to buy a pair, or two. These Chanel sandals were going for over $1000, but there have been some knock-offs for under $100. This look is a little too “look-at-me” and I wouldn’t feel comfortable walking down the street in them, but I do like how Mary-Kate wears them.
Last week I walked into one of the best shoe sales ever at Lord & Taylor and couldn’t help myself. I went crazy in there but finally settled for two sexy pairs of booties. One pair (Boutique 9 lace-up pumps) is featured on the Rags to Riches page so I wanted to share this pair on the blog. I fell in love with these cage booties from Dolce Vita the minute I saw them. I just think they’re hot and I was surprised at how comfortable they are. The bootie is one of the hottest shoes of the Fall so I feel covered on all trends with these cage boots and the lace-up Boutique 9 booties. Get out there and take advantage of some great sales!!!
