Bally Peep Toe Leather Strap Sandals

If you haven't already noticed, I have a bit of a problem with the fact that the US gets slim pickings when it comes to designer shoes. Don't get me wrong, I love the perfection of Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and Guiseppe Zanotti shoes but sometimes you just want to throw caution to the wind and put your own signature to your style with wonderfully non conforming, exorbitant and lavish styles. Some of my favorite (and yours) shoes on this blog come from shoes that only sell overseas, like this Bally shoe.

This is the Bally Peep Toe Leather Strap Sandals and they are suede with leather straps. They have an open toe cut out, as well as a cut out above the toes. Most fabulous however is the tapered gold heel with intricate cut-outs. The heel measures 4 inches and the platform is .75 inches, so they will feel like a fairly comfortable 3.25 inches. $2,020 at LUISAVIAROMA.COM (price includes import taxes and shipping).

Fall 2009 Shoes

Saks has just released some new Fall 2009 shoes and the following are my favorites. Available at Saks.

This is the Dior suede and python ankle boot. I really like the texture throughout the entire shoe, even the heel. When the shoe is on the foot, the cut outs between the suede straps is more apparent. It has a 4.25 inch heel and a 1 inch platform. $1,090.

This shoe truly warms my heart. First, because it's a gorgeous paillette shoe, and I love paillettes (sequins). Second, because it's Gucci. My old, favorite label. It's in no way near my favorite label now. When Tom Ford left, the label went quickly downhill in my opinion. Anyway, this shoe is reminiscent of the good old days of fabulous Gucci designs.

It's the Gucci Sofia Paillettes Ankle Boots and it has a 4 inch heel. The only thing that could improve this shoe is if the heel was also covered in paillettes. $1,190.

This Marc Jacobs boot has such a distinct and unique look! It's fashioned after the Holland wooden shoe, and it is totally fresh and new in designer shoes. It's not necessarily beautiful, but it does have a quirky style that I love.  These boots are slip on (it has a 8 inch leg circumference), and the ankle strap functions to keep the shoe from slipping off when you walk. When you are standing in these shoes, you can look into the shoe and see the top of your foot. You gotta see these shoes in person to really appreciate the amazing design.

They are the Marc Jacobs Runway Ankle Boots and they have a 4 inch heel. $845.

My favourite shoe embellisher of all time has got to be Miss Bunny, who works wonders with shoes - turning boring old Primark and Peacocks pumps into showstopping shoes that are fit for the red carpet!

Raffia open toe wedges from Azzedine Alaïa

If someone said to me “I want you to make a shoe inspired by a tiki hut” I think this is what I’d come up with. When that happens, I doubt I could sell it for 654 (and that’s on…
