Rachel Roy Olla Platform Sandals
These Olla Platform Sandals by Rachel Roy will mix beautifully with all your casual wardrobe favorites this Spring- from dresses and skirts to jeans. The Olla Sandal features a boho-chic studded upper and a chunky platform with 4-1/2 inch heel and 1-1/2 inch platform.

What I like most about this sandal is the partially leather covered heel and the hardware decor on the heel. The ankle strap is adjustable with velcro closure. Well-made to fit comfortably, these sandals are lined with leather. These sandals are also available in black, but I love the rich chocolate brown leather.
These sandals are part of Rachel Roy’s more affordable contemporary line ‘Rachel Rachel Roy’. Until recently, her collection was sold exclusively to Macy’s but now you can buy directly from her website, RachelRoy.com.
Since the debut of her collection in 2005, I’ve been a fan of Rachel Roy’s classic and sophisticated designs. You can see her Fall 2010 Ready to Wear collection here.
L.A.M.B. Shoes, So Chic And Sexy!
This cold weather has me browsing the online shoe stores for new shoes and dreaming about wearing strappy sandals and open toe shoes. If you are ready for warmer weather where you are, I highly recommend checking out the new Spring shoes that are out now. Start planning early the shoes you will need to add to your collection this Spring.
L.A.M.B. Shoes by Gwen Stefani are always so chick and sexy. Be prepared to walk on stilts because the heels are quite high, but you’ll get a bit of help with the nearly 1 inch platform on these new L.A.M.B. Shoes.

The L.A.M.B. Vail Platform Pump has stacked angular-shaped cutouts and overlays in suede and smooth leather atop a partially gold metallic heel and a basket-weave platform. I just love the contrasting textures on this sandal! Available in black/grey or in this black/red/natural style as shown in the image above.

The L.A.M.B. Verdu also incorporates a mix of textures, with mesh lace trimmed with leather. This sandal is also available in black, but I think these colors and the mesh lace are perfect for Spring and Summer!
Gwen Stefani is widely recognized for her eclectic personal style and natural elegance. Her shoe collection is born out of her love of fashion and design and is a reflection of her personal style and creativity.
Tis the Season for Party Shoes!
It’s hard to believe how fast this year has gone by. Halloween is this weekend and I just received the invitation for my company Holiday Party in December! I think these invitations for parties are on the same schedule for putting up Christmas decorations, and it seems to get earlier with each year.
Thinking of Holiday Parties has me also thinking of what I’ll wear and, as I was perusing the Heels.com website, I noticed that they just added a ton of new party shoes that are perfect for the fast approaching season of parties and events.
Here are a few of my favorites among the many new styles added at Heels.com.
Carlos by Carlos Santana Prestige – Grafite
Oh, and if you’ve not visited the Heels.com website before, you must check out their videos. For each shoe style, there is a video of a model wearing and walking in the shoe making it so much easier to see how the shoe will look when worn.

Lovely Lilita Shoes
I recently came across this lovely shoe collection by Lilita Leather Collection on Shoebuy. The Lilita Leather Collection is a new brand founded by 2 Venezualan sisters, Carolina and Franzia Lopez. Their goal is to “develop into a loved, adored, and desired brand, so that customers will search for styles from the Lilita Collection.” [LilitaShoes]. So far, from what I’ve seen of their collection, they should have no problem accomplishing this goal!
The brand offers a variety of styles including flats, wedges, pumps and boots, all of which are very reasonably priced between $100-120. Here are a few of the Fall designs that are available now at Shoebuy….
Lilita Bella Suede Pump features a hidden platorm, peep-toe, metal hardware accents, and ankle strap with adjustable buckle.
Lilita Diane Croc Print Leather Ankle Boot features a hidden platform, buckle detail, and side zipper.
Lilita Lily Patent Leather Pump features contrasting colors at the heel. Available in olive patent/brown, burgundy/turquoise, and black/pink.
I’ve only been able to find Lilita shoes online at Shoebuy, but you can see their entire Fall 2009 Collection at LilitaShoes.com. Check it out! You will not be disappointed.
