Whether they’re dressing up or down for airport paparazzos, celebs love to flaunt their designer wares. Here’s Hilary Duff at Heathrow Airport, wearing the Laurence Dacade Pete Booties with her leather motorcycle jacket, tee, and jeggings ensemble, and carrying a grey Celine Luggage Tote. Hilary certainly looks like she had a private hair and make-up consultation before exposing herself to the sprawling airport masses, doesn’t she? Read More…

I look forward to Prada’s runway shoes perhaps more than any other every season, and although Spring 2013′s were something of a debacle, I was still full of hope for Prada Fall 2013. Lucky for me (and for shoe lovers everywhere), the collection greeted us with a lineup of classic Prada runway kicks in lots of different variations and a few basic shapes. Read More…

There’s nothing that strikes fear into the hearts of shoe lovers like white suede. Independently, suede shoes and white shoes are difficult enough to keep clean; shoes, after all, do spend an inordinate amount of time on the ground. When those two attributes combine, you’re simply a spilled glass of red wine away from disaster. With as much white space as you find on the Acne Suede Cowboy Boots, your problems increase exponentially. Read More…

Here’s Olivia Wilde on her way to an NYC Valentine’s Day lunch date at ABC Kitchen, right after attending the Calvin Klein Fall 2013 runway show during New York Fashion Week. Naturally, she’s wearing head-to-toe Calvin Klein. Her gilded heels are the Calvin Klein Ankle-Strap Platform Pumps – but don’t get too excited, because sadly, these artfully rendered pumps aren’t available online, and I suspect most available pairs have already made their way into eager hands.

Over the last few years, clear shoes have gone from pole dancing essentials to the ultra-feminine Valentino Spring 2013 runway, which is the type of steep, swift ascension known only to Jennifer Hudson and the former prostitute who now shows her lingerie collection at Paris Couture Week. (Google that, I’m not making it up.) (Google that carefully.)

These days, clear shoes come in two varieties (clear heel or clear upper) and seemingly endless aesthetics, all the way from girlish to super-sexy to just plain weird. Read More…

As much as I love weird shoes and crazy prints, I’ll never love anything as much as I love black. Even when I was a little kid, I asked my mom to get me the black Keds instead of the white ones everyone else in class had, and I’ve scarcely stopped buying black shoes since. Naturally, I was thrilled to see that Nicholas Kirkwood Fall 2013 contains plenty of dark-and-lovely options alongside the designer’s signature bright modernism. Read More…

If you think of platforms, cats, three-dimensional flowers and any other manner of crazy embellishments when you think of Charlotte Olympia, you’re on the right track. Designer Charlotte Dellal is known for her exuberant, irreverent, hyper-literal style, and her sense of humor has served her young business well – everywhere you turn, you find a fashion person wearing her shoes, and stars are catching on in droves.

Here’s everyone’s favorite Cheesecake Factory waitress Kaley Cuoco (of The Big Bang Theory fame, if the reference didn’t land) sitting courtside at a Lakers game while wearing Isabel Marant Bayley Sneakers. Curiously, Kaley chose to pair these red and blue sneaker wedges with an all-black ensemble – it almost looks like she swapped them out with a pair of business-ey pumps. Read More…
