Kurt Geiger Egypt Scarlet Pumps

Filed under: Shoes

You can never go wrong with a pair of scarlet pumps. Especially ones like the Egypt by Kurt Geiger ($300). They have an understated and relaxed silhouette with touches of lively accents that make Geiger's Egypt Pumps a timeless classic. First off, the color is vibrant without feeling off putting. This particular hue has dark undertones making them wearable and versatile. Second is the heel. A block heel not only provides stability and a more comfortable foundation when walking but they are just as stylish as skinny stilettos.

I love that they are designed in red suede rather than red leather. There is something unexplainable about suede that complements red even more so than leather. Heel measurements: 4".

Manolo Blahnik Zala Leather Boots

Filed under: Shoes

Manolo Blahnik's Zala Boots ($1243) combine the ruggedness of a shearling boot with the sexy silhouette of high-heels resulting in a striking yet balanced look. The Zala adds a casual yet upscale touch to your outfit, and even more so with exposed white stitching. However, I think they would exude a polished and flushed look with similar color stitching instead.

Designed in dark brown leather and accented with a fold over creamy sheepskin liner and leather tie, the Zala Boot offers warmth and style wrapped in a chic pair of heels. Heel measurements: 4".

KG by Kurt Geiger Jasmine Heels Sparkle Bright

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

Can any woman resist the magnetic pull of a shiny and sparkly object? Probably not. Especially if it's jewelry or shoes. I know that I can't. I came across KG by Kurt Geiger's gold shimmering pumps ($157) and fell in love. The Jasmine is in no way practical and will most likely be worn sparingly to maintain its glowing impact but they sure are gorgeous.

The golden beauties would look incredible with a short black shift dress or paired with a stylish yet casual ensemble of slim jeans, loose cotton shirt, blazer topped off with a colorful scarf. The Jasmine is ultra feminine and feature an over-sized bow at the toe box for maximum girly effect and have a 4 inch heel. Also available in black and red.

Opening Ceremony Par Robert Clergerie Tall Boots

Filed under: Shoes

Tall high heeled boots add instant sensuality to the routine fall ensemble of jeans and a sweater. Especially if you're going to wear Opening Ceremony Par Robert Clergerie Tall Boots ($1300). With a 5 inch heel, 1.5 inch platform sole and an extremely long shaft that finally settles around your knees, your sex appeal meter will go through the roof.

Opening Ceremony Par Clergerie Tall Boots has a monochromatic body and a casual adornment of shoelaces that transform a pair of bold and sexy high heeled boots into a very wearable accessory. The combination allows for versatility and longevity. Although the heel is quite high, the thickness and platform sole should help to provide a little bit of stability and comfort. They are also available in black.

Perfect Holiday Shoes: Gina's Flamingo Satin Courts

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

The holiday season is so full of lights and sparkles that even people who don't usually go for glitzy fashion statements can find themselves feeling inspired to wear something a little more eye-catching. I'm one of those that generally avoids sparkles and sequins in my wardrobe but am totally in love with these Flamingo Satin Courts by Gina. In my opinion they're the perfect holiday shoe because they're not only festive and beautiful but will go with everything from an LBD to leggings and a cashmere sweater to an all-out New Year's Eve glam-fest ensemble. Featuring black satin, Swarovski crystal embellishments, and a black bow detail with a logo-embossed plaque, these shoes are a fun, flirty and elegant way to flaunt your holiday spirit. £635

Azumi and David Leather Shoes Pouch, Handbag of the Day

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

As a designer, it can be difficult to decide on which creative path to pursue. It appears that the designers behind Azumi and David saw the fork in the creative road and proceeded straight - doing exactly what they felt like doing with no regard to trends.

Their Leather Shoes Pouch ($411) encompasses the styling of a shoe and has merged that with an oversized Chanel inspired quilted clutch. Aside from a heel sticking out at the base, the clutch itself is beautifully simple and elegant. It's made with soft leather, has a roomy interior, a fold over closure and complementing minimal hardware. I suppose one benefit of having a heel as part of your clutch is that it will stand on its own.

The Flapper Fringe Peep Toes ($268) by Anthropologie scream out "wear me to a party!" It's hard not to get excited about dancing the night away, eating scrumptious food and sipping delicious drinks with friends and family when you see these bejeweled beauties.

Since grey is neutral and versatile, the Flapper Fringe Peep Toes will complement any outfit.

Givenchy Tassel Oxford

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

The oxford shoe has been making a strong comeback for both men and women for sometime now. It's a look that I appreciate and when done right, can look unexpectedly fashionable and expressive. Unfortunately, it's also a shoe that I personally cannot wear - too many bad memories of a strict dress code from my private school days.

But Givenchy's Tassel Oxford Heels ($1650) may just change my mind. It's an unusual shoe with all sorts of adornments that may initially seem out of place but there is something about these oxford heels that feel unique and sophisticated. They're styled in warm burnt orange/chestnut brown suede with grommets, laces, tassels and a back zipper. They would look great styled with toothpick corduroys or cargo pants, and a warm loose fitting sweater.

Heel measurement: 4.7". Also available in black.

Holiday Shoes at Delman - and a Luxist Preview of Spring!

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

It's time to start curating your holiday wardrobe. There are a lot of beautiful trends to follow for this season's holiday parties, including the classic "sparkle" for which some of us wait all year. Before you let time get away from you and start hearing "we're out of your size," check out the above downright fabulous Elan High Heel Sandals from Delman. They're fresh, demure, feminine and wearable well into spring -- after all, they're open-toe!

The Elan High Heel Sandals come in Silver Hologram, Gold Metallic Fabric with Hologram Effect and Black Moire, and feature Italian fabric, padded insoles and a 4" heel. We'd love to see the silver with a grey dress, creating a perfect monotone look, or the gold with a textured dress of some kind, as it has the structure and sparkle to steal the show if not paired with something bold (not that that would be a tragedy).

The Elan High Heel Sandals, as well as some other great holiday finds, are available from Delman for $250.00. And, for those of you who want to think ahead, check out this preview of our favorites from the Resort and Spring collections!

Nicholas Kirkwood x Rodarte Wrap Candle Sandal

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

A stickler for uniqueness and outrageousness, the Mulleavy sisters don't disappoint when it came to their collaboration with famed shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood. Case in point – the Wrap Candle Sandal ($1605). The name is playful and fun to say and the shoes exude that same good natured spirit and quirkiness.

These vibrantly hued heels will not disappoint if you're looking for a pair of showstoppers. There is so much going here - the juxtaposition of various colors, patterns and textures that initially don't appear to blend well together but somehow become a cohesive mix. And of course the pièce de résistance- the melted candle wrap heel. It puts the perfect punctuation on Rodarte and Kirkwood's "look at me!" heels.

16 Fabulous Fall Finds from J. Crew

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel, Handbags, Jewelry, Timepieces / Watches, Shoes

While I can't speak for the entire Luxist team, I have a pretty good feeling that we all love the fashion offered at J. Crew. They offer well made and long lasting basics mixed with bold statement pieces presented in such a way that you'll wear them forever. Both my husband and I have sweaters and pants that we've purchased over 4 years ago and given their timeless appeal, we're still wearing them today.

J Crew's lookbook and catalog showcase trendsetting and super fashionable ensembles, but I thoroughly enjoy putting my own personal twist to what I wear and the clothing at J. Crew allows me to do just that. After a long hot and at times unbearable summer scorcher, fall's arrival is a welcomed change. It feels relaxing to be at a comfortable body temperature and have a cool breeze pass through the air. Your daily attire can have more depth and substance rather than succumbing to heat and wearing a tank top, shorts and flip flops.

Yves Saint Laurent Asymmetric Platforms

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

To say YSL's Asymmetric Platforms ($920) are brightly colored is an understatement. They are Willy Wonka toxic grape flavored eye candy. They stand out incredibly while on display in a store and even more so when worn. Covered in a stunningly vibrant purple suede, YSL's platforms do not need any extra bells and whistles – the color says it all. And a 5 1/2" heel with a 1 1/4" platform doesn't hurt to really bring home the point "look at my cool ass shoes!"

What to wear with your purple suede shoes? I say go all out and have fun with your outfit. Try a colorful wrap dress by Diane von Furstenberg or for a slightly subdued look, wear with grey wide leg wool trousers and a flowy colorful blouse. YSL's Asymmetric Platforms are also available in black but definitely not as daring.

Chloe Wrapped Strap Boot

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

I've got a severe soft spot for tall brown high heeled boots. Brown just seems to match with anything that you wear and adds softness and warmth when compared to black boots. Chloe's Wrapped Strap Boot ($1195) is definitely making my list of 'Desired Fall Purchases'.

Belts are minimally wrapped around the shaft against warm caramel colored leather and perfectly accented with a rusty orange leather strap at the top. The toe is a rounded square, allowing for some comfort, but with a 4 1/2" heel, this may not be the best for walking the streets all day. And unfortunately, there is no zipper (women need zippers for tall boots!) so these boots will be easier to put on for those with slender legs.

Lanvin Python Sandal

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Shoes

I first came across Lanvin's Python Sandals during the Fall/Winter 2010 runway show and fell in love. Now that I found them for purchase I'm beside myself with excitement. Unfortunately with a price tag of $2175, I won't be purchasing them anytime soon but I'm sure for those who can afford it are going to thoroughly enjoy them.

Lanvin's Sandals are made with jet black python with cut outs at the vamp and near the ankle resulting in a super sexy, undercover devilish look. Python provides these sexy heels with texture and natural adornments against a very dark color. No need to add anything else. If you wanted to highlight Lanvin's Sandals sex appeal, wear with a skirt, dress or even shorts (with tights) and show off your legs. But these could work just as well with straight or wide leg trousers or jeans for a subtle sexy look. Heel measurement: 4 1/2" with a 1" platform.
