It seems like every designer is getting in on the “rocker” look trend. Dolce Vita has just released the “Flash” bootie and it’s pretty flashy!

The bootie features goldtone or gunmetal hardware and that’s what makes the shoe so fabulous! I personally love the Grey boot with the gunmetal hardware. Those colors seem more practical for Fall and my wardrobe. The black bootie with the goldtone hardware is beautiful, but I think it may look like a little too much “bling, bling” on the shoe.

These boots are the perfect way to make any outfit look edgy. Pair them up with some slit leggings and you’re good to go!

You can purchase the Dolce Vita “Flash” Bootie at Nordstrom for $199.95. I’d say for a pair of stylish boots that’s a great buy! Get yourself a pair to make your Fall wardrobe a little more edgier!

Michael Kors has just released some new stylish shoes, and among them were the KORS Michael Kors “Flora” Pump. These shoes are just your regular peep toe, but the designs on the shoes is what makes them stick out.

The “Flora” comes in two different colors: Natural and Tiger. The “Tiger” color featured on the shoe really caught my eye. I’ve never seen a “tiger” print shoe in black, gray, and white before and I was highly impressed.

The colors of the shoe blend so well together, that they make the shoe look stunning. If your wardrobe consists of mostly dark clothing then these pumps will compliment your outfits well!

You can purchase the KORS Michael Kors “Flora” Pump at Michael Kors for $260. The shoes are unique looking, but I’m not sure they are worth that much. They’re just a regular peep toe with a beautiful color pattern on them. Overall though, this shoe is absolutely breathtaking and I envy anyone who picks of a pair!

Holey Moley these are gorgeous! One thing I absolutely love about Christian Louboutin is the fact that their footwear can appeal to everyone’s personal taste. Although these shiny gems are not my style, I can’t deny how pretty they are. The Declic Glitter Pumps are girliest pumps I’ve seen at Louboutin headquarters and definitely the ones that stand out the most at the moment. Pair these with that special outfit for a night out in town, just do be aware of the stares towards your feet.

I’ve been looking for brown wedges that will go with my Louis Vuitton Monogram handbags and I think I just may have found the most gorgeous pair I’ve ever seen!

The Kors Michael Kors “Victoria” Wedge Sandals are so stunning that when I first spotted them my mouth dropped. The price was a little scary, but overall it was a gorgeous shoe.

The wedges kind of remind me of a beautiful gladiator style shoe. I love the height of the wedge, and the gold hardware compliments the brown leather well. It’s definitely the perfect “high fashion” wedge to add to any shoe collection.

You can purchase the KORS Michael Kors “Victoria” Wedge Sandals at Michael Kors for $295. The price is extremely high, but I know I’ll probably pick up a pair regardless. These beauties are definitely a gorgeous pair of wedges to have for the Spring and Summer 2010 season’s.

Hooray for Miss Marc as she’s back in the spotlight! For the Resort Collection, you can find her imprinted on this super cute coin purse. Made of nylon, Miss Marc is extra blingy this time around, just check out that oversized gold chain and the rest of the jewels. Zip top closure leads to logoed interior and printed doodle exterior on it’s opposite side. The pretty large dimensions allows you use this pouch for coins or as a small clutch so when your on the go.

Bubbly and bright, what are those things? Of course it didn’t take long to identify that those cute little pouches are indeed fun cosmetic cases and by no other than Tory Burch. They’re small enough to throw into your smaller handbag, but I’m not sure if their large enough to carry all of your makeup essentials in nicely as this case does look quite snug. You might not be able to get your foundation compact, mini lotion bottle, and your multiple lip-glosses all in at once, but these small cosmetic bags sure are cute, and for $55, would make such a great stocking stuffer for the fashionista’s in your life.

Winter may be near, but if you’re going on vacation to somewhere with a tropical climate then you make want to check out the Jimmy Choo “Phyllis” espadrilles. They’ll give any bathing suit you wear a touch of high fashion and they’re also really cute.

I love the fact that you can wear these shoes whenever you want. Yes, they would be perfect for a day at the beach or pool, but I could also see a fashionista wearing them with a dress or even jeans.

The Jimmy Choo “Phyllis” espadrille’s can be purchased at Nordstrom for $375, which is a steal for a pair of adorable Jimmy Choo shoes. Even if it’s super cold where you live right now, you should snatch them up for the Spring and Summer season’s.

As I was picking up my mail today, I overheard one of my neighbors filled with joy that one of her packages has arrived from NAP. And since that’s one of my favorite online boutiques, I could not just ignore..
Elevator Chat…. me: “so, what’s in the box?”
neighbor: “BALMAIN!!”
me: “whhaaaaa”

Turns out my lucky neighborita recently rewarded herself with a Balmain shopping spree. I was totally jealous.. in the 7 minutes it took for us to reach our floor she ripped into that net-a-porter box (she actually started digging in before getting into the elevator — and I can totally see why!) and pulled out her amazing purchases: the amazing new Balmain Suede Zipper Boots (I almost died!!!! If she wasn’t 2 sizes smaller than me I would have ran away with them.) and the fabulous new for winter Peak-shouldered leather jacket! She just threw the jacket on over her black skinnies and white tank and it was instant glamour.

I’m still a little in awe over this encounter.
