MARC BY MARC JACOBS SLOUCH BOOTS December 13, 2007
There’s a new take on legwarmers.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Slouch Boots give you the Flashdance feel without the tackiness of the ‘80s’. Designed to resemble a pump, the boots have a brown leather ‘shoe’ and rich suede upper.

ABAETE FOR PAYLESS 'ALEX WEDGE' December 28, 2006
New Year’s Party tickets - $200. Little Black Dress - $150. Designer Handbag - $300. You’ve already spent a ton of money on your New Year’s look. While Manolos and Jimmy Choo’s are your typical party shoe de jour, they may not give you (or your pocketbook) that extra stamina.
Laura Poretzky’s Abaeté collection for Payless has the answer. The "Alex" Wedge is the perfect party show – a sleek black satin sandal is paired with faux snakeskin trim and gold piping. A delicate strap gently hugs your ankle while a padded bed lets your feet rest while you dance the night away.
And you can save that extra money for cocktails and party favors.

TASHKENT BY CHEYENNE 'COLE' BOOT November 23, 2006
For all the turkey, stuffing, and mac and cheese you’ll be eating, it’s best to rock a super–sized sweater and stretchy tights on Thanksgiving Day.
You may be channeling your inner Peggy Bundy, but your entire outfit doesn’t have to skimp on style. The Tashkent 'Cole' Ankle Boots are a cute addition to your holiday look. The mod footwear is made of a suede–upper, with an ankle tie, side cutout, and a fur sock lining. The wedge heel gives you height, which will draw attention away from your jam-packed plate, (and your full stomach).
Just make sure that sweater isn’t horizontally striped.
Just because the weather is bad doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. Get your feet fashionably wet with Plueys.
The ‘Lotsa Dots’ Puddle Stompers are:
Playful: white dots poured over a canvas of black rubber,
Practical: fully cotton–lined, rubber sole, and adjustable buckle, and
Pleasant: the sky blue trim reminds you of brighter days.
Glam it up with this season’s most coveted shoe–the ballet flat.
Tory Burch’s take on the trend takes glamour up a notch. The Reva Ballerina Flat is a mix of butter soft leather paired up with the prominent double–T gold logo plate stamped on the toe, and finished off with a sensible rubber sole.
Available in a delicious array of colors, you’ll want to pick up a pair. Or two. Or three.

FARYL ROBIN 'BETH' FLAT November 2, 2006
Faryl Robin Morse is the master of the shoe. Inspired by 17th century Dutch painters, Robin’s shoes are works of art.
Her best work of art is the ‘Beth’ flat–a suede wedge heel with faux snake trim, and enough toe cleavage to make your mom blush.
Best of all, it lives up to the three criteria she uses to design each pair: A woman must be able to buy a shoe that looks good; she should be able to afford it; and, if she’s on the worst date ever, she can get up and walk home.
