Sexy Sandals

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 06:38:10 +0000

These crazy-sexy L.A.M.B. shoes serve as proof that seven straps are definitely better than one.

Available in gray, red, or black, this stunner has 4.25" heels and a pinwheel flower embellishment on the outside.

I'll admit I wasn't crazy about the floral add-on at first, and generally don't find those types of decorations sexy at all ... but, it's grown on me. And in all honesty, I'm so impressed with how these shoes look from the front, I'd probably overlook a broken doll head glued to the side.

Leighton Meester's Sexy Pumps

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 01:28:54 +0000

Of all the great styles exhibited in my new Shoes of the Stars photo gallery, I'm most impressed with these multi-strap pumps worn by Leighton Meester.

Granted, I know the heels are too high for a lot of us, and most of us will never look like Leighton Meester, no matter what shoes we put on. But still, I covet them because they're versatile and sexy -- despite the fact that they're not super-skimpy, strappy sandals.

And apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks these shoes are ultra-hot. Leighton Meester is currently holding a pretty hefty lead against Gossip Girl co-star Jessica Szohr in a recent edition of Celebrity Shoe Wars.

Skechers Shoes

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 05:26:51 +0000

I'll never forget my first pair of Skechers shoes. They were kind of a big deal, because they were shiny, black sneakers with chunky high heels, and I wore them to my first Smashing Pumpkins concert -- along with some glittery silver eye shadow.

Back then, Skechers was best known for utility-styled boots and shoes, but today, their collection is absolutely huge, and more popular than ever. In part because of the trendy, casual styles, and in part because they're extremely affordable.

Here are a few of my favorites from the current line of Skechers Shoes.

Vibram FiveFingers

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 05:40:07 +0000

Vibram FiveFingers have been brought to my attention a couple of times over the past few years. The first was when a reader asked me to track down some odd "toe shoes" they'd seen before, but were unable to find at their local shoe store. The second was last Summer when I saw them advertised in my small town's newspaper -- this time I was motivated enough to actually go two pairs of Vibram FiveFingers: one for myself and one for my husband.

Want to know more about these odd-looking shoes? Check out this profile of Vibram FiveFingers, in which I share a few facts, relay my own experience, and ask readers to leave their own reviews.
