Louis Vuitton’s version is stunning. The little, rectangular sliver of a heel hardly seems able to support the weight of anyone over 100 lbs, but I’d be first in line to give them a try regardless.
Givenchy's sandal also seems to be a hit this season. The combination of mixed materials: leather, clear plastic and a conical shaped wood-covered metallic heel is both innovative and beautiful.
And speaking of a covered heel, these Tom Ford beaut's are the ultimate party shoe! I love, love, love the look of the little stiletto heel peeking out from beneath a unique covering, whether it be wood or confetti- covered gold leather. Excuse me while I go fashion a fun, festive cover for my boring stiletto heels...
In compiling a list about shoes, I'd be remiss not to include Balenciaga. The house has consistently shown shoes that are simultaneously trend-defying and trend-igniting (Fall '07 'Lego' shoes anyone?). Things are no different now that Alexander Wang is at the helm . This block-heeled oxford is a more masculine option than others on the list and would be a good option to wear with the feminine and floral pieces of the season. I also like how the heel is kind of awkwardly affixed off the center of the body of the shoe.
I saved the best for last. The transition from day to night with these Dior pumps on your feet would be seamless. A curved heel on a pump may not be anything new, but the combination of that, the asymmetrical toe cleavage (the only cleavage this A-cup gal can come by), and sleek mirrored, metallic leather make this the best shoe of the season, in my humble opinion.
