Elizabeth and James Shoes: Fall 2010 Collection
The Elizabeth and James Fall 2010 Shoe Collection has arrived at online shoe retailers and the styles are even better than last Fall. This collection just seems to keep getting better and better! Among the styles, you will find soft suede leathers in neutral hues and lots of platform, open toe, and menswear-inspired designs.
What I like most about this collection is how casual, yet refined, the many of the styles are. They are not the kinds of shoes you will invest in and then only wear a few times during the season. These are styles that you will find yourself wearing over and over again this Fall and Winter
Here are some of the latest styles just out…
Elizabeth and James ‘More’ Suede Pump
Elizabeth and James ‘Mason’ Pump
Elizabeth and James ‘Lizzy’ Suede Bootie
Elizabeth and James ‘Miki’ Ankle Boot

Elizabeth and James ‘Gasp’ Embossed Leather Boot

The Elizabeth and James Brand was launched in 2007 by designing duo sisters, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, and has been highly successful. Subsequent to this, their footwear collection (a collaboration with Steve Madden) was launched in 2009. The Elizabeth and James company has become recognized as a contemporary lifestyle brand that includes apparel, shoes, jewelry, and soon, they will launch a collection of sunglasses. A couple of styles of sunglasses will be released this Fall, but the full sunglasses collection is set to launch in Spring 2011.
The fashion business is not an easy business to succeed in, but the Olsen sisters are hardworking and obviously passionate about fashion and this certainly shows in their designs year after year. As celebrities when they were just toddlers through to their twenties, it’s been fun to watch how their fashion has evolved as they matured- especially from their late teens to now. It’s something I think we can all relate to as our taste in fashion is always changing. I need only look back at pictures of myself as recently as 5 years ago to see changes from my current style of today.
3.1 Phillip Lim ‘Baroque’ Multi T-Strap Pump
These t-strap pumps are Baroque indeed! While I personally am attracted to minimal designs and lean toward simple elegance when it comes to fashion, I do enjoy the complex design and opulence of these shoes. I especially love the textural contrasts of smooth and suede leathers and the way the embellished heel extends up the back of the shoe.
Created by Christian Louboutin for the 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2010 Collection, these suede pumps were inspired by the Baroque period of late 17th century Europe when the emergent style was one of extravagant and dramatic style. These pumps would look absolutely stunning with a little black dress or tapered black trousers as shown below.
The Baroque Pump has 3 straps of smooth black leather with gold buckles and a gold embellished heel. The 4-inch heel is offset by a ¾-inch hidden platform. Currently, the Baroque Pumps are available now for pre-order at Nordstrom.

Stuart Weitzman Friller Platform Pumps
Enjoy Spring’s most fabulous trend with the versatility of a nude colored pump. Neutral pumps are perfect for Spring and Summer because they will go with everything! The nude shade also elongates the leg for a very attractive look, as seen here on Taylor Swift. Taylor is wearing the gorgeous Stuart Weitzman Friller pumps available at Jildor Shoes! that were recently featured in the May issue of InStyle magazine. I love the way this blushed tone of beige looks with her floral print dress…..so cheerful, so Spring! This pump will look great however you decide to wear it.
The simplicity of the neutral shade of this pump lends itself well to the details of this sweet pump! The leather upper partially covers the wooden platform and is styled in a peep toe design and adorned with a knotted bow. The 1 inch platform reduces the relative heel height of this 4-1/2 inch heel significantly, also making it comfortable to wear.
You can pre-order the Stuart Weitzman Friller Pumps in this Adobe color (shown below on the top left) at Jildor Shoes until March 15th and receive it in May! Zappos, as well as Endless
, also has this style in several other colors and available now in Bone
, Walnut
, and Black
! So adorable, this pump is sure to be your ‘go to’ dress heel for your Spring and Summer outfits.

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.
