Don’t get us wrong, we love a Miu Miu shoe. But do you love this Miu Miu sequin platform pump, $950? Or, as Cher Horowitz would say, it is a full on Monet?
While the sequins might look less garish from far away, the seemingly random color placement may make the hue look muddled.
What do you think, yay or nay?
We have long touted the leg-lengthening properties of the “nude” pump. The problem is, the color of beige we typically think of as nude only matches one skin tone.
It would be Christian Louboutin who provides the solution. Louboutin’s Simple Pump 85 comes in, yes, a nude version which is a light beige, but also several other colors which will match a whole range of skin tones. Click the link to see them all.
Ladies of any and all colors rejoice! There’s a leg-lengthening, skin-tone matching pump out there for you. And by the shoe master himself. Provided you can spend $575 to $725 on a pair.
We wrapped up $20 gifts under $200 and are on to the $50-$100 price range. The first thing we looked for? A fab coat for gifting to your favorite girl. We like this Gap plaid belted coat, on sale for $94.99, because the plaid can be a little holiday, a little preppy or a little indie depending on the giftee’s style. It’s a little something different for the girl who usually sticks to pea coats.
You get some of your greatest shopping ideas from your friends, right? Me too! So for the next few items in our gift guide I’ve kind of copied off of my friend Jill’s Christmas list (maybe I should let her husband know!).
The Frye Harness boots, $198, aren’t going anywhere. They’ve become one of the modern classics of affordable boot styles that you know will stay en vogue for years to come. A little bit cowboy boot, a little bit motorcycle boot, this style takes cues from both of those but makes them cleaner and straighter.
Check out items one through five here, and six through 10 here, or keep reading for 12 through 15!

Yes, we know you don’t really need much of a reason to buy shoes. But isn’t it nice when there is a reason? How about this: TOMS shoes is trying to donate 30,000 pairs of shoes to men, women and children in Ethiopia who suffer from a soil-based disease that can be prevented simply by wearing shoes. How can you help? For every pair of TOMS shoes you buy, TOMS will match your purchase by giving one pair of shoes to someone who doesn’t have any. (Have you counted the shoes in your closet lately? Guilt trip over.)
That’s right, these adorable black patent mary janes are only $19.99 at – where else? – Target.
No they’re not Isaac Mizrahi, either, they’re simple old Xhilaration. The Skyler patent mary jane pumps have a cute button detail and an almost 3″ heel.
We almost saved these for our 50 Gifts Under $50 list coming soon, but we had to tell you about them now before they’re all gone.
While I’ve always been a fan of Marshall’s and shop there often, I will say there’s something about shoes mashed together in a less-than-desirable setting that makes you scoff at paying $40 a pair – even if that’s half what they’re sold at elsewhere.
Marshall’s seems to have cottoned on to this fact, and revealed new Marshall’s Shoe Mega Shops earlier this year. Instead of being arranged on no-nonsense shelving according to size, shoes are displayed a lot more like at a designer shoe outlet.

We just love J.Crew’s flats and have found their classic boot styles to hold up for years in both fashion and function. So, we highly recommend taking advantage of their shoe and boot sale that ends today.
At left are a selection of Jane and Selena flats in candy colors, we really like the Jane crackle-metallic flats, $150, in particular.
For boots, we recommend the Long Brewster Leather boot, $198-$218, for a sturdy and comfortable flat knee-high boot that also comes in extended calf sizes.
If you’re a shoe girl, you’ll love this video of Manolo Blahnik talking about his famous footwear. He talks about the basics he’s been making forever as well as which collections he finds most enjoyable to design.
At the end, of course, you can browse his beautiful shoes!
I know we’re all about the Target news today, but here’s something you can actually buy now.
The Kathy riding boot, $36.99, has been at Target for awhile (I think), but last night I tried them on and finally found a zip-up riding boot that goes over my muscular calves. I wanted to cry.
I also learned that stretching your leg out in front of you to zip up your boots is the shoe equivalent of laying down to zip up your jeans. I’m currently wearing the boots around the house to stretch them out a bit more, but my 2-year search is over. YAY.

We’ve already spotted High School Musical 3 star Vanessa Hudgens toting around her Botkier Morgan small satchel, $650. But now she’s got the boots, too.
Hudgens is wearing the Botkier Xenia boots, $725, as she arrives at the airport.
While the boots and bag aren’t exactly matchy matchy, we do think some stylist needs to school Hudgens in not wearing one brand head to toe.

There’s no shortage of sartorial options for showing your support for your favorite candidate in the upcoming presidential election.
But how about supporting a charity that gives shoes to children and keeping the political peace at the same time with these Tom’s Shoes split decision vote shoes, $45.
Having yelled “no politics!” at more than one dinner lately, I think these would come in handy.
And the charity? Tom’s shoes always donates one pair of shoes to a needy child for every pair of shoes purchased.
Our shoe-obsessed sister site Shoewawa has made its feelings known about John Fluevogs, but we’d like to get your take.
If you like a bit of the out of the ordinary, then you should definitely check out their site. The About Fluevog page is a very entertaining read.
They basically feature a lot of gothic and vintage-inspired shoes, like the Sugar boots pictures, $379.
So what do you think, yay or nay?
Just one month after Peta asked Zappos to stop selling fur, the online retailer has bowed to consumer pressure and will no longer be selling items that use fur.
It looks like they must have pulled their stock of fur items immediately since a search for fur on their site turns up on faux items.
“Zappos.com joins Target, QVC, Home Shopping Network, Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, Gap, Forever 21, Wet Seal and dozens of other companies and designers that have gone fur-free,” said Pulin Modi, the street team supervisor for peta2.
When jeweler David Morris wanted a limited-edition shoe with a fine-jewelry spin, they called Jonathan Kelsey.
Kelsey designed a shoe with a fine-jewelry strap called the Fyren, which translates to “sin” in OId English.
