It’s that time of year again Shoe Fans!  That’s right, my favorite Holiday is upon us; Halloween!  I’ve chosen some classic costumes as well as some of the trendiest ideas for this year to showcase, all with amazing shoes to match.  So if you don’t have any clue what to dress as, hopefully this can spark your inspiration.

My first choice comes directly from one of my favorite films released just after Halloween last year.  I called it almost a year ago and I anticipate seeing lots of Ballerina “Black Swan” costumes this year.

Plie, Passe, & Pirouette in this playful ensemble with these

Black Satin Ankle Strap Pumps with Ruffle Heel Detail from Betsey Johnson

My next costume pick comes from one of the most televised and widely viewed events of my lifetime.  The Royal Nuptials that took place this past Spring captivated the eyes and hearts of practically the entire planet so I anticipate seeing some Kate Middleton – Royal Bride gowns popping up this year.

Without a doubt, the perfect pump for this occasion would be these

Ivory Satin Peep Toe Kathryn Pumps with Jeweled Bow from Bourne

My third pick is a cutie patootie from before my generation.  Just because I wasn’t around when Betty Boop was the latest and greatest doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate this vintage character and the nostalgia she represents.

You can “Boop Boop de Doop” all night long in these

Red Sequin Peep Toe Stilettos from Dereon

Two years ago, around this time, Shakira released a fun party jam called “She Wolf” and I’ve toyed with the idea of dressing up as one ever since.  I haven’t yet, but with a costume as cute and ferocious as this, it is very tempting.

Baby, I’m Howling for these

Iron Fist Wolfbeater Peep Toe Pumps with Red Velvet Platform & Heel

Last but not least is another classic cartoon favorite.  I love the zebra accents in this updated Wilma Flintstone frock.

Style Inspiration: Award Winning Movie Inspired Shoes

Posted by Ellen on Tuesday Feb 1, 2011

Hey Shoe Fans!  I think it is safe to say that awards season is in full swing.  With the Critics Choice Awards & Golden Globes a few weeks ago and then the SAG Awards this past weekend, our favorite movies of the year are raking in the statues by the truckload.  I’ve taken some time to choose a few Award Winning Movie Inspired Shoes that I think you will like.

First up is one of my personal favorite movies of the year, Black SwanNatalie Portman has swept all 3 major awards shows in the favorite actress category thus far and is favored to take home the Academy Award for her portrayal of the neurotic Ballerina, Nina Sayers.

If you can’t get enough of her demented dancer look, I suggest you try these:

Black Tulle Platform Fifi Sandals from Steve Madden

There is no denying the impact that www.Facebook.com has on our daily lives.  I will even post a link to this blog on Facebook when it is finished (like I always do).  And of course this year’s movie about Facebook was a monster hit with fans and nominating committees alike.  The Social Network tells the story of its inception.

Facebook is known for its simple, classic, blue logo.  If you are searching for the same thing in your footwear, take a look at these:

Navy Suede Embellished Platform Pumps from Paris Hilton

I have to admit when I first saw previews of The Fighter, I thought it would be a typical guy-sports movie that I wouldn’t really care for.  I am so glad that my best male friend convinced me to see it with him selling me on the fact that I could stare at Mark Wahlberg shirtless for the better part of two hours.  I am happy to say that I had this film pegged all wrong and I enjoyed watching the plot unfold (as well as the muscles) very much.

If you want to Knock-Out the fashion competition with some boxing glove footwear, lace up these:

Distressed Grey Side Saddle Booties from Not Rated

One film that is still on my list to watch before the Oscars roll around is The King’s SpeechColin Firth‘s performance as King George VI has earned him Best Leading Actor accolades in the first 3 major award shows of the season so of course he is a favorite to take home the Academy Award as well.

If you are searching for footwear that is worthy of the Royal Family a la 1939, you must take a look at these:

Lacey Chestnut Black Mapple Pumps from Pour La Victoire

The re-make of classic cowboy/western True Grit has brought this genre back to life.  Breakout star Hailee Steinfeld is fierce in this film as she tries to avenge her father’s death.  I predict a bright future ahead for this shining new star.

If you need a rugged boot that is still sleek and fashionable, you have to get your hands on these:

Leather Charcoal 15R Harness Boots from Frye

Ok Shoe Folks, we are closing in on the final weeks before Halloween.  Costumes should be coming together real soon if not completed already.  Did you get one of those bagged ones from the generic “Halloween Store” in the mall? or did you rent yours from a costume house? or did you piece yours together at a vintage store?  No matter the construction, the correct footwear is essential.  Lets take a peep at three more costumes.

The Queen of Hearts is another character from the wildly popular Alice in Wonderland film from this year.  In the movie Helena Bonham Carter had a CGI larger-than-life head that added to twisted plot style of this Tim Burton interpretation.  If you want to be a sexy Queen, I suggest something more along the lines of this costume.

Rule your kingdom in style with these

Red Marble Peep Toe Destiny Pumps with Bow from Paris Hilton

The biggest reality show of the year was most definitely MTV’s Jersey Shore.  Whether you watch it because you like to drool at overly spray tanned hard-bodies or you can’t take your eyes off this trainwreck of a show.  Either way, these Snooki and Jwoww costumes are hilarious.

Keep your fist pumpin’ all night long in these

Leopard Print Pony-Hair Dione Sandals from L.A.M.B.

Another classic costume that is in constant rotation is the Gypsy.  Add lots of gold bangle bracelets, hoop earrings, and maybe a tambourine to pull off this nomadic look.

My Crystal Ball tells me you should snatch these

Gold and Brown Woven Nail Sandals with Wooden Heel from Guess

Now that Labor Day has come and gone, it is unofficially Fall and one of my favorite Holidays will be here before you know it.  I’m talking about Halloween of course.  It is never to early to start planning your costume and all the little details.  For this series of blogs, I’ll showcase some amazing shoes to compliment a long list of costumes that are sure to be hott for 2010.

First up is the always popular Sexy Sailor.

Star Shoe Styles: Teen Choice Awards Red Carpet Celebrity Shoe Style

The annual Teen Choice Awards were taped this past Sunday night and broadcast on Monday via FOX.  To be very honest, I get a little blase about any thing with the word “teen” in the title so I might not ever admit that I would watch this type of thing, but I still comb over all of the Red Carpet coverage to see what the Celebs are wearing.  As much as I hate to admit it, I was very impressed.

Of course there was a heavy presence of talent from our favorite Twilight saga films becuase New Moon and Eclipse were nominated for almost every category except for Choice TV Reality Villain and Choice Music Country Group.  Our favorite Physic Vegetarian Vampire, Ashley Greene never fails to look absolutely breathtaking and this occasion was no exception.

To pull off Ashley’s flawless look, you will def need a pair of these

Black Platform Peep Toe Roxy Pumps from Paris Hilton

The cute-as-a-button “Wizards of Waverly Place” star, Selena Gomez scooped up 4 TCA’s including Choice Red-Carpet Fashion Icon: Female (I can totally see why). She was looking angelic in all white paired with sexy Nude Sandals.

Courtesy:  Just Jared Jr.

If you wanna look as fierce as Selena, I suggest

Natural Open Toe Stewart Stiletto Booties from Bebe

One of the hottest summer shows this year is ABC Family’s “Pretty Little Liars.”  I must admit, I am addicted to this tennage cheese-fest and it is def one of my guilty pleasures.  Lucy Hale plays the doe-eyed Aria brilliantly as the show won 3 awards including Choice Summer TV Show.

If you wanna score some edgey footwear like Lucy, you have to grab these

Black Open Toe Leather Cooper Booties with Studs and Buckle from DV by Dolce Vita

Gossip Girl” has been a fan favorite since it started back in 2007 and it isn’t loosing any steam with Leighton Meester as Blair Waldorf.  They are currently filming its 4th season that will premiere Monday, September, 13th on the CW.

To achieve Leighton’s botanical feet style, you will need

White Satin Slingback Natural Beauty Pumps with Flower Accent from Unlisted

To be honest, I had no clue who Victoria Justice was when I saw her on the Red Carpet at the Teen Choice Awards, but I immediately feel in love with her shoes.  After a little research, I’ve learned that this cutie is a Nickelodeon starlet and aspiring singer with her own show called “Victorious.”

Let your Wild Side loose like Victoria in these

With the boys of “Glee” as co-hosts for this years TCA’s, the female cast was on hand to show their support and accept some awards for themselves such as Choice TV Show: Comedy.  Lea Michele was drop-dead stunning in a sequin mini dress and funky wedges.

As a presenter, Cat Deeley was right at home on stage Sunday evening.  She hosts another favorite show of mine, So You Think You Can Dance, which ends it’s season on Thursday, August 12th.  While sometimes she can sport some crazy stuff, I was plesantly suprised at this sexy white ensemble.

Hello again Shoe Fans!  My next favorite animal selection is Black Snakeskin.  Combining the most popular selling color with a funky textured pattern is a Win/Win situation.  Snakeskin accents can also give a basic boring shoe the perfect amount of sexiness for an evening out.

Shoes We Love: In the Nude

Posted by Kait on Thursday Jul 22, 2010

I am in love with nude shoes. Literally obsessed. I didn’t mean for it turn out that way, but I am drawn to nude shoes. After all, you can wear them with ANYTHING! Ellen posted some fabulous L.A.M.B heels with gold embellishments that are on my wish list. I have told myself time and time again that I am not allowed to purchase anymore nude shoes. I want them!!

Suleika has these beauties. She pairs them with jeans and skirts or dresses. The Chief is a versatile style that can be worn with just about anything. Guess manufactured the Chief in several different patterns and colors. We cannot wait to get it in more colors.

 

The girls and I were just introduced to these amazing styles by Bebe; Stewart and Sofia.

Stewart is a stellar open toed booties complete with aged silver rings for that extra sparkle and pizazz. The platform makes it a little chunky (fierce) while the color keeps it sweet. I love the cut-outs over the entire shoe. It’s a fun and flirty approach to a booties, making it wearable in the warmer months. This booties is available in black as well.

      

 

Sofia is a dainty reflection of the Stewart. Still keeping with the theme, Bebe has created a sling-back with an edge. The miniature braid and aged silver rings give it just enough detail. These heels can be worn to a special event or a night out on the town. The Sofia is also available in black.

 

Jayda in bone is a new upload from Paris Hilton. The color rocks, of course. The style is interesting. I would call it a modified wedge. It’s somewhat of a wedge and heel combined.  Not a bad combination at all. I like the gold buckles that add some shine. This shoe is a great seasonal style. Jayda is available in black, gold and orange. Enjoy!

 

Look at these! Barry in bone by Paris Hilton made its way to us just yesterday. It is not on the website yet, but keep your eyes peeled. This style is also available in black.
