devidas by christian louboutin

though not a fan of this particular design, it is a treat to see yet another designer take inspiration from india. these heels, named "devidas," certainly do represent indian style with the intricate embroidery pattern and  embellishments.

shoes + more at NY fashion week, fall 2011

the shows and the new designs at any fashion week are, of course, the real stars, but the editors shine pretty bright, too. especially their shoes! imagine eye-catching footwear to get to and from the shows...it would definitely put an extra pep in my step.

but back to the shows -- i've been browsing through the collections on style.com, and i have many loves & likes. lots of cozy-furry-layering happening, which really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. it looks so good and is perfect for fall. hope you're enjoying seeing all the looks from NY fashion week, fall 2011, as much as me.

after all the madness calms, and all the coverage is done, we'll get to see what the strongest trends were...and how they are interpreted by some great style-setters.

that's when the real fun begins!

cozy booties

it's friday and it's officially fall, and so of course i was doing what every other girl in the world was - online shopping for new boots. and i saw these. and i l.o.v.e. them.

these rugged yet cozy booties by lamb are so perfect. they've got a great neutral shade, a wonderfully soft-looking shearling cuff, cool lace-up ties, a glamorous 5 inch heel, and the perfectly rounded toe. all that's missing is me (or you) in them.

stepping forward

summer 09 has been full of many wonderful, fleeting moments, but has also been a time for reflection, change, and growth.

a rising sense of self, an expanded outlook of goals and desires, and a growing love for all things beautiful…including this scene-stealing creation from brian atwood + bally…has made summer 09 truly beautiful.

the right steps

so this week got off to a bit of a rough start, but continuing to move forward with bigger and brighter hopes. of course moving forward in any of these pairs of shoes wouldn't hurt the process...

the jak and jil blog features some of the best street style images i've seen on the web. the blog's owner has a particular interest in shoes and continues to capture the most cutting-edge styles out there with his detailed and intriguing shots. always in step, the jak and jil blog is a daily must-see.

waves of light

ruffles and waves were all the rage on the spring 09 runways and with the weather here in d.c. finally warming up, it’s time to start wearing these pretty, tousled looks. can’t wait to let go of those serious and perfectly-tailored pants and coats, those entirely too stuffy sweaters and stockings, and those prim and proper scarves and boots…which is why the ruffled details of spring and summer’s style are such a fun step away from winter’s straight-edged looks...and why these waves are just as welcome as the sun’s beautiful rays of light.
