shoes....shoes....shoes....

At first, I rebelled against it, almost resented it....The eternal mocking of a girl's shoe fetish.  Really? Shoes? What are these shoe-freaks so excited about that they have to buy a second home just to keep the collection???  What is wrong with my friends that snuck shoes into the house when their hubbies were asleep, and when asked if they are wearing new shoes? "Oh honey, I've had these forever....how dare you not notice???"....The long and hard battle of "should I? shouldn't I ?" or the utter depression at missing out on the last Size 9s of the latest Manalos in stock. Whatever.

Then it hit me. Shoe-monia. The sickness that hits fast and practically debilitates you.  Especially if you are going out that night without a- gasp!- new pair of shoes.

Really, all it takes to look good is a great scent, trendy accesories, shiny lipgloss, and a FREAKING FANTASTIC PAIR OF SHOES.....

I have a small following of sorts that like to track my shoe addiction, and for you, I will post pics of my new Candie's that I got for ONLY $5.00!!!!.... I feel comfortable and confident buying these at the end of summer, because, 1) It is going to be an Indian Summer and 2) the upcoming trends are all about the 70's, so wedges and clogs are on next summer's forecast range.

But I digress.....this blog is supposed to be about design.  So, here is to the newest, most tantalizing trends in shoes for the fall....

Hot Fall/Winter 2009 – 2010 shoe trends

Designers continue their bold experiments with the new shapes and constructions for stylish and fashionable shoes of today.
Fashion shoe trends this season will differ considerably from summer collections with their fun and brightness. First of all, there will be more strict forms and colors. However it is necessary to mention that new autumn designer collections will be much more practical than the last year ones.
Below is a brief review of the boldest models of Fall-Winter 2009/10 footwear collections innovative in their styles and shapes.


There are no more strange forms, motley colors and huge accessories. Designers have chosen quality, simplicity and style. There are certainly no rules without exceptions, but during the world economic crisis such diversity of colors is considered to looks a bit inappropriate.


In the forthcoming season designers suggest a simple style.
The colors look gloomy enough: black, dark blue, dark green, dark-violet and red will prevail. Neutral tones will be also in fashion, they will resist to extraordinary darkness.




The new season is surprising in that all the designers seem to have joined their efforts in promoting thigh-high boots. It looks like this shoe type is about to become the hit of the season.






All in all the decision of the world’s most famous designers to turn their attention to thigh-high heels is a true herald of the season to come. So we should all prepare ourselves for the new madness, that’s about to take over the fashion world.


There is no doubt, with such a variety of shapes and models in autumn collections, you are sure not to have a tedious time long fall evenings. Put on a pair of shoes or boots and get in a mood right away!
