Have you seen shoe accessories–like feathers and bows–dangling from your favorite designer heels, lately? This trend has resurfaced from last season and has proven to be IN for this season. Pricey trend?

March 9, 2009 marks Barbie’s 50th Anniversary and we couldn’t be more excited!

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?

Get those paper bags ready because I guarantee you’ll need it when you start breathing erratically. Got it?

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?
