When it comes to women’s shoes, there are a lot of options that you can potentially consider. While the color and exact kind of shoes is one thing, another crucial thing that you might want to think about is the place you would want to buy the shoes from. This is again dependent mainly on what are the kinds of shoes you are looking out for, because different dealers’ stock different kinds of shoes and not all of them might be the ones you are looking for. Hence, it is essential to know what you might want from your dealer before you can decide to buy the shoe.

The easiest option would be to simply walk into a store closest to you and get the exact pair of shoes that you might have set out for. Of course, this is also the costliest option and something that you would only consider if you have enough money to burn. Another option that you can factor in is to look out for bargain stores around your local town and see if they out some good women’s shoes in the clearance section. If you are lucky enough, you might even find something over here that could be of use to you.

But, the best option of the lot would be online stores, where you will get the kind of shoes that you would really want without having to sacrifice on quality. Since online stores are known to stock cheaper shoes, you can be assured of a good deal if you buy your shoes from an online dealer itself.

Spring is a great time of the year to be fashionable. Colors are cuter than they were last winter. Your skin once again becomes something that you expose and not hide under coats or thick boots. Strappy stilettos are sexy and not-as-uncomfortable as they were in the snow. This season, Manolo Blahnik will satisfy your shoe lust, regardless of taste.

Trends in shoes tend to be fleeting, especially when moving from February chill to March sunshine. This season’s new crop of covetable Manolos covers about every trend on the runways. Whether it’s GAP or Gucci, there’s a pair Blahniks to go with your outfit.

First there’s the profusion of stones that we’ve all been seeing in other brands’ collections (most notably Gucci’s). Blahnik seems to have paid attention to this trend as well, with designs in his usual sexy-and-independent-woman style.

This classic t-strap design (known as ‘Lluxa’), for example, gets a major update with the jewels going down along the front. It’s perfect for formal events, especially if you’re wearing a relatively plain ensemble. The sparkle from the stones really catches attention.

Strappy also seems to be a major theme in Blahnik’s new collection. With everyone else going back to the Mary Jane style, Blahnik sticks to his guns with sexy, strap-laden shoes. Now that the weather’s warming up, it’s time to show some skin, ladies!

This studded strappy sandal (nicknamed ‘Ibiza’), for example, might end up covering a lot of your foot, but the little skin that peeks through just screams sex appeal. If you’re not into the schoolgirl-style trend right now, this’ll work just as well. Besides, all your Mary Jane-wearing friends will fall back to their strappy shoes in a season or two.

High shine has been a very big thing in bags for the last couple of seasons, and Blahnik crosses it over to shoes for spring. There’s a bumper crop of shiny Manolos ranging from patent yellow to metallic purple. It’s a great way to make dull outfits (particularly monochromatic or black-and-white ones) so much more dramatic.

Just try stepping out in these shockingly bright metallic turquoise heels (codenamed ‘Sprappy’) and see if you don’t attract some admiring stares. Even your dullest navy blue office outfit will look runway-ready with these blinding babies.

It’s spring and it’s time to put your best (heeled) foot forward. And if you’re wearing Manolos, you can be sure your oh-so-stylish foot will make a Carrie Bradshaw-esque statement.

As a brand, Gucci is known for its quirky and sometimes out-of-the box aesthetics. Few other companies could have triggered such a widespread interest in fringe, and even less can pull of that countryside chic look that they worked last season. For its 2009 Cruise collection, not many eyebrows were raised about Gucci’s eccentric choice of theme: tattoos and tortoise prints.

Now, many of you might have gotten excited when Gucci’s whole love for tattoos began last year with the Tattoo Heart bags, a charity effort for global nonprofit UNICEF. And for its new collection, the brand brings the tattoo several steps further – literally.

At first, the term ‘tattoo-print shoes’ almost sounds like an oxymoron. The first image associated with a tattoo is a tough biker guy, not a Gucci boutique. But Frida Giannini and her design team execute the whole tattoo concept with so much finesse, you’d wonder how you survived so long without a pair of these in the first place.

If you’re still not convinced, check out Exhibit A: this tattoo-printed peep-toe slingback stiletto . From afar, it looks like any other pair of Gucci shoes, especially with the mild color and the double-G logos. Get closer, though, and it reveals its wilder side with the tattoo-style rose print.

More conservative fashionistas, however, might want to take the alternate route with the other trend that Gucci’s starting this season: tortoise. Just like with Gucci’s fascination for tattoos, the design is applied sparingly but to great effect. It’s a subtle touch that adds lots of drama to a single pair of shoes.

These off white stilettos , for example, would look like any other pair of office shoes in the store. Those 3 ½” tortoise shell heels, however, will make you look for objet d’arte than office worker. Gucci didn’t use much, but you know that every inch of those heels make a big impression.

Just in case your bank account’s of the recession-proof variety, you might want to pair your trendy new shoes with a matching tattoo-print or tortoise-finish bag from Gucci. Every fashionista knows that you’ve got to take a trend all the way to make a statement.

In the present world of fashion all of us want to go for celebrity stuff. Generally,

Celebrities go for branded things. But, it is not possible for common man or woman as these products are usually expensive. Branded things are actually designer items. Celebrities too have their favorite designers that design clothes, shoes, and other ornaments for them. Every one wants to behave and dress up like his favorite celebrity. People are trying to live like them. As celebrities are out of reach, so we only try to copy their lifestyles. 

Designer shoes are essential accessory for woman. Even female celebrities use lot of designer shoes to create their own style statement in this fashion world. Designer shoes like Burberry come with huge price, but are extremely impressive. Every woman cannot afford to buy them. This is why they are dreamt by every girl and woman. Their price is very high because they are original and cannot be copied.

Getting original branded products are extremely difficult these days as there is war going on between many designer and duplicate shoes. We have replica stuff in the fashion market as it is not possible for a common woman to buy original Burberry designer shoes. Also, they come with similar characteristics as original ones. But, Burberry shoes from the latest women’s shoes Spring/Summer 2009 like black beige shoes or black patent leather shoes can only be enjoyed with their originality. Replica just sells, but cannot be enjoyed for long. 

Thus, if you are looking for chic fashion choice, Burberry would make a best option to enjoy the ever changing trends of fashion. They proudly add more value to your outfits and speak of their authenticity and quality. I always go for original stuff, if you also want to embrace originality and unique style of branded items, go for stuff like Burberry that would never let you down. Rather it would help in creating a lasting impression on the onlookers. So, choice is yours whether go for original designer shoes or reasonable replica ones.

Who knew that the fashion industry could take a cue from the financial sector? In these economically troubled times, investments are either going down or becoming more conservative – and your shoes may soon follow suit.

Freakishly tall heels and towering stilettos have been dominating the runways for the past few years. And while that’s not exactly bad, coming up with taller and even thinner heels isn’t just unimaginative; it’s dangerous (to see why, watch the latest Hervé Léger show). Enter Prada, shoes with sensible heels and that unmistakable Italian chic.

“What goes up must come down,” the saying goes, and Italian fashion tastemaker Prada is heeding the adage. That’s probably why their newest shoe collections feature heels that are either thicker, lower or both. Gone are the towering needles, which were replaced by thicker and chunkier heels, such as in these peep-toe slingbacks .

Now, the popular view is that heels must be as tall and thin in order to be glamorous. This season, that kind of stereotype is exclusively for runway models again; Prada’s new and generously proportioned heels come with some new touches that don’t involve heights.

You don’t need to be tall to command attention, especially if you’re wearing something like these jeweled slides  from Prada’s new Resort collection. The 3” heels should be comfy enough to let you work these all summer long, while all the bling in front will make people forget that you’re not as tall as usual.

It’s not just Prada that’s losing the tall-and-thin image this season. Other big shoe brands like Gucci and Fendi have been churning out similarly thick-heeled styles and, in some cases, have even gone with the ultimate anti-heel statement – flats. Will this become the new vogue? Perhaps. But enjoy the more comfortable styles while they last.

Spring – as in the real season and not the fashion season – is fast approaching once again. It’s time to put those Wellingtons back into warm weather hibernation and put your best leather-clad foot forward. And for 2009, the best shoes to wear for that activity would be the shiniest ones you could get your hands on.

Patent or shiny shoes are by no means a revolutionary new trend. They’ve already made their rounds in the women’s shoes section a couple of years back, and have now crossed the sex boundary into the male domain. A long-time staple in the formalwear repertoire, the new in thing is to mix up high-shine shoes with more casual clothing pieces.

Of course, patent leather shoes are the quintessential gentleman’s accessories for formal evenings and black-tie events. Designs like this patent black Ferragamo laceup are classics in any collection of men’s shoes. But you can move beyond the realm of the black tie affair yet still remain on-trend.

When combined with less formal designs like loafers (this design from Armani is a classic example), patent leather could either modernize a formal look or jazz up a more casual one. In fact, any lace-less design – which is often seen as the more casual version of the leather shoe – gets an instant style upgrade from the added shine. And you can’t deny that patent really is eye-catching, no matter what you do.

Even more casual is the sneaker design that Lanvin popularized a couple of seasons back with their brightly colored patent high-cut shoes. Now every brand from Gucci to YSL has come up with its own version of this hot must-have item. It doesn’t stop at black either; colors from fire engine red to midnight blue have been seen down the runways. They’re great for adding life to even your plainest and oldest jeans-and-tee combo.

If you want to get on with this trend, you’d better get on with the program soon. People seem to be picking up on new fashion movements rather quickly nowadays, so your patent shoes could be more ‘has-been’ than ‘haute’ in just a couple of months.
