The Hottest Shoes & Bags Of The Season

The Hottest Shoes Right Now

Hello my lovely readers,

It's a quarter past midnight and I'm thinking about shoes. I know I'm not the only one.

This season it's all about shoes. So many different styles are on trend right now that there's definitely something out there for you. I mean, which girl doesn't have a soft spot for some foot candy? (did that sound wrong?)

There's definitely a back-to-the-basics trend here, with the minimal strappy heels that look oh so complimenting, as long as your calves and ankles are slim. If you're on the chubbier side or really petite, I'd say skip the heels that cuff your leg at the ankle as they will make you look shorter and they will have a swallowing-your-legs effect. And that's not a very flattering look right there.

On the other end, colorful heels with prints and patterns of all sorts are the it-thing right now. They make the big statement in an outfit. They're the showstoppers. Totally on board with these.

I also noticed a tendency for lower, thicker heels which is such a relief for those busy girls who have to go about in town from day to night. I mean, 5 inch stillettos are as sexy as hell, but a nice pair of comfy yet stylish shoes is a lifesaver.

Lace-up heels are also making a big comeback right, usually with cut-out details and they're absolutely gorgeous. Aquazzura is mastering these. Another comeback are slingbacks, which I never thought I'd see again but I guess with fashion you can never say never.

As far as materials go, I spotted a lot of metallic details and lots of snakeskin too. Wood is also often used for the heel which is great for a summer, boho look.

And now check this little collection below I made on Polyvore featuring the most gorgeous shoes in stores right now. Click on the arrows at the sides to scroll through.

God! Who doesn't adore these little pieces of fashion heaven? I know that I'm addicted to them. :P Just like Carrie Bradshaw, Serena Van Der Woodsen and every other style icon who has admitted her passion for Manolos, Choos etc., one pair of sky-high pumps could make any girl's day brighter. So, this season designers decided to pay extra attention to shoes, respecting our worship to them, by creating elegant as well as outrageous designs for this summer's collection. Check out below a couple of my favorites and vote which one do you prefer. Don't forget to watch the video of one of the posts below with more SS '10 items and tell me your opinion about it.
