Here’s Siriano. Remember him?

Here are his claw heels.

Here’s a closeup from his website.

And another closeup from a shoeblog.

Well … can you see yourself rockin’ these claw heels? I do! I like a little bit of ‘bad’ to go along with the ‘fit! Tell me: “what do you think?”

Here’s a glimpse of what is offered at Payless, designed by Christian Siriano! Price tag: under $45. Designs inspired by Egyptian hieroglyphics.

The Cut’s take on the new shoe collection.

I’m at Payless this season!

Christian Louboutin Heels with Bow -These were featured in Valentino Fall 2009 show.

Givenchy Black High Heels- I believe this is the Spazzalato Heel.

Christian Dior Boots- This is a picture from last season, but the shoes are so noteworthy!

L.A.M.B. Lesley Grey Leather – Featured on Heels

Will you keep up with this trend this season?

While our favorite doll isn’t looking any older these days, fashionistas, designers and girls-at-heart all over the world are celebrating the milestone.  February’s New York Fashion Week featured a 50 model, 50+ designer fashion show devoted solely to Barbie and her history.  The show included looks from Barbie’s first 1959 appearance (photos below) in the iconic black and white striped swimsuit through the years to looks from today.  

They’ve even designed a special edition 50th Anniversary Barbie for the occassion. While I would have put her in pink (in classic Barbie style) this dress is stunning, just like Barbie has been for 50 years.

In honor of Barbie’s anniversary here are some shoes that we feel Barbie would wear, both today and 50 years ago:

As any Barbie owner knows, her feet are made for heels.  (She’s definitely my kind of girl!)  These 4 inch hott pink pumps are just what any Barbie needs.  

Any Barbie wardrobe also must include a fabulous pair of heels for her beautiful ball gowns.  These coral satin peep-toes with the knot detail is perfect for any special night on the town with Ken.

Chinese Laundry Baldwin, $78.99 from Heels.com

Finally, any Barbie girl needs a pair of shoes for her swimsuit.  These summery sandals feature pink leather with sequins and a bow, could you get more Barbie than that?

Our favorite red-soled shoemaker Christian Louboutin collaborated with renowned embroiderer Jean-Francois Lesage of the House of Lesage to create an extremely exclusive line of shoes inspired by famed queen, Marie Antoinette.

Times may be tough, but Louboutin says, “Even in the midst of dark economic times, there is always room for art, beauty and craftsmanship in its purist form.” Guess that’s how they’ve justified the whopping $6,295 pricetag!

Only 36 pairs have been made, but you can still take a peek before they go off to 36 very lucky owners (my guesses include Victoria Beckham and of course, Kirsten Dunst). The shoes will go on a cross-country tour first at the South Coast Plaza boutique on February 23 and then at the Madison Avenue boutique on February 26.

I know it’s a longshot, but it doesn’t mean I can dream about which pair I should choose. Yellow, blue or pink?

The 2009 Grammy Awards were presented this past Sunday and while there were certainly an abundance of fabulous and gorgy dresses, no shoe should be left behind in the ranks of beauty.

Taking a gander at the masterpieces from head to toe this past Sunday, I chose a few pairs of shoes that really struck me as either true classics and/or unique footwear. Both though attracting my shoe radar from thousands of miles away!

A favorite of mine was certainly Kim Kardashian’s silver satin open toed number. Check out the divine height of those heels! While I question HER attendance at the Grammys, I certainly understand her fabulous choice in shoe wear.

Another classy choice was Jennifer Hudson’s suede round toe navy blue pump. Navy blue is a daring choice for an award show as this, seeing as it usually is a color reserved for politicians and navy seals, but she pulled it off, and remarkably well. Kudos!

A third basic option that I particularly liked was the Welsh singer Duffy’s leather round toe black pump. It was simple, sophisticated and absolutely stunning. It finished off her already gorgeous ensemble perfectly. Her shoes certainly had me begging for “Mercy.”

Finally, while I can’t say that the dress was anything to be desired, Paris Hilton’s dark silver glittery pumps were kinda fun this year. They weren’t too over the top (certainly as the dress was), but they looked great below her tan legs.  And had she chosen maybe a basic black cocktail dress (my choice at least), the shoes would have stood out even more.

If you are lucky enough to have scored tickets to this monumental occasion, I am incredibly jealous! However, whether or not you are going to witness this history in the making via your own two eyes or via a camera, satellite and television, you should still look your All-American best! We have found some very patriotic and white house worthy duds for your feet.

Volunteering on January 20th might leave you stuck on your feet for long periods of time. That is why we highly recommend you pursue a flat shoe. Try this Sam Edelman Farrah Flat on for size. The royal blue patent leather and red stitching make you look like a real Uncle Sam!

There will surely be lots of after celebrations to ring in our new 44th President. Be sure that your footwear is as regal as the rest of your look. Go glam and sophisticated in these Lottie Maryjanes by Vince Camuto. The satiny finish and petite peep toe will gladly accompany any gown at this year’s ball.

However, if you’re looking for something to rival first lady taste, than we suggest this Daizy Heel by L.A.M.B. The taupe shade not only remains as a neutral and traditional color, but the buckle adds a little bit of professionalism we think. With that said, the 4 1/4 inch heel spices things up a bit in all that seriousness.

All these gorgeous shoes give new meaning to “America The Beautiful,” don’t ya think?

Maybe this Fall/Winter 2008-2009 outfit by Chanel, shown at Paris Fashion Week, is out of the price range, but you can easily duplicate it for less.  You may even have a large cozy black turtle neck sweater in the back of your closet somewhere.  Paint your nails a light blue metallic, get a matching skirt in a sweater material and voila!  a perfect casual Friday outfit for a cold fall day.  Top your outfit off with the November Pump by BCBGirls which you can get at Heels.com .  If you’re looking for a weekend look, ditch the knit skirt and pair with a worn denim skirt.  Wear the November Pumps to tweak the outfit and give it a polished edge.
