B Brian Atwood Fringe Sandals

Brian Atwood’s new, less expensive line, B Brian Atwood is just as wonderful as his original line but at a more affordable price. No, he’s not going the Marc by Marc Jacobs or McQ by Alexander McQueen and giving us pretty good designs, thinking we’ll eat them up just because they’re under a famous and renowned designer. Nor is he changing his style for the lesser priced brand, the B Brian Atwood shoes are sexy and sophisticated.

Light pink metallic leather with chain fringe, these designer shoes will make you want to dance the night away. They have a dual ankle straps with able buckle closure, a leather sole and in-sole. The gold tone stiletto heel measures 4.5 inches. $425 B Brian Atwood shoes are here.

Jimmy Choo Glitter Pumps


Every well known cobbler makes a glitter shoe around the holidays, however the difference between a Choo glitter shoe, and let’s say a Madden glitter shoe, is that the former won’t leave a trail of glitter behind you everywhere you walk. Nothing screams “cheap” like a shoe that has the embellishments falling off as you walk along. When it comes to heavily embellished shoes, make the investment in quality and you’ll be safe rather than sorry.

Multicolored glitter platform pumps with textured gunmetal leather covered heel and platform, these designer shoes have a rounded cap. They have a leather in-sole and suede leather sole. The heel measures 5 inches with a 1 inch platform. Jimmy Choo shoes are made in Italy. $745 Jimmy Choo shoes are here.

Pair with the matching Jimmy Choo glitter clutch:

Miu Miu Jeweled Satin Pumps

It seems like this time of year, everything from shoes to handbags are glitter, crystal and gemstone embellished. I don’t know about you, but I wear embellished accessories year round, the shinier and bling-ier the better. These Miu Miu pumps are a perfect example of the type of shoe that catches my eye from across a room and make me happily part with large sums of money to make them mine.

While we expect the greats like Louboutin and Choo to make lust worthy shoes, Miu Miu is not to be overlooked, and in the past few years some of the best designs overall from a season are from the Prada sister store. In fact, my absolute favorite shoes are Miu Miu  (black T-strap pumps with a beautiful, gold, sculptured heel and all-over black gemstone details).

Black satin peep-toe pumps with crystal-toned jeweled embellishment on the front and jewel encrusted silver-toned high heel, these designer shoes have a black satin covered platform. They have a  leather in-sole and sole. The heel measures 5 inches with a .75 inch platform. Miu Miu shoes are made in Italy. $1,059 Shop Miu Miu here.

Pura Lopez Satin Ankle Boots

These statement booties are pretty and feminine while still being chic, and as the ankle boot is replacing the pump in many looks, this is a great shoe to pair with a dressy, evening event. The cut out at the outer arch gives a little peek at the bare foot and ups the sex appeal from a standard open toe shoe, while the bow at the ankle draws attention to the foot, without being gaudy and overpowering the shoe. The neutral color makes this a great shoe for many occasions and a great alternative to a standard pump.

Black satin ankle boots with an open toe and cut out details, these designer shoes are practical, yet ultra glamerous. They have a leather sole and in-sole. The heel measures 4.25 inches with a 1.25 inch platform. $485 Available here.
