Miu Miu Does Glitzy Glittery Sneakers For Fall!
If you’re a glitz-loving girl who would regard the glitter budget of your average Ke$ha concert as just a moderate level of sparkle, I’ve got the perfect pair of shoes for you! Just in time to put a little spring in your step for your return to the daily grind at school or work this fall, the Miu Miu Fall 2011 collection comes doused in gems, glitter, and gold, including a series of fanciful bedazzled sneakers. Miucci Prada calls on the imagery of fame for her collection for the lively Fall 2011 collection of accessories and the results certainly don’t skimp on shine! The low-top, lace-up sneakers come in black, silver, gold, and blush, and though they look like the show-stopping glittery Keds and Converse pairs of seasons past, they do have some extra metallic sheen and added embellishments on the toe (not to mention a Miu Miu label) to jazz them up a bit from the previous styles. But are they worth their whopping $450 price tag? If so, be sure to try on your very own pair at Barneys or Nordstrom!

Tapeet by Vicini Wedge Pumps
Time and time again I find myself coming back to Tapeet by Vicini for best looking shoes with comfort overall. Last year there were a pair of boots that I found that looked gorgeous and they were comfortable, they were Tapeet. This year while searching for great wedge pumps with comfort, Tapeet fit the description again. These fabulous wedge platform pumps are the perfect shoes to wear for the holidays and for work. These Tapeet by Vicini made in Italy black platform wedge pumps will go with work clothing, jeans, and holiday attire. The best part, these shoes sit on a platform that is 1 1/2 inches and the heel height is 4 1/2 inches so you feel like you have lots of height, but your feet think you are only on 3 inch heels. How fabulous is that? Made with a patent leather and leather lining, this shoe is great quality.

Steve Madden Gold Platform Booties that Kourtney Kardashian would wear
Kourtney Kardashian is famous for wearing very high platform shoes. When I saw these Steve Madden Cirkus -S platform gold glitter booties I immediately thought Kourtney Kardashian is going to be wearing a pair like this soon. See her photo below with her very high platform nude sandals that give her an extra 6 inches of height.
This pair of gold glitter lace up platform ankle boots are the shoes to own this season to wear with your fall looks. The shoes also come in black suede which makes them a bit more practical, but if you want to be fab, why not get them in gold glitter? Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz would be jealous.

Alejandro Ingelmo Crosby Wedge Booties – MUST HAVE 5 inch ankle boots
If you are like me, you are always on the look out for a great pair of high boots, sandals, or wedges. Being petite, I want to always appear taller if possible. Kim Kardashian is only 5 feet 2 inches, but she always looks taller because she is always wearing 5 inch platforms from Christian Louboutin, Brian Atwood, or someone else. Since Fall is next week, I have been on the look out for a pair of ultra cute booties for fall and winter that will look good with jeans, dresses, and skirts. Viola, I found the pair that everyone must HAVE this season.
These booties look a lot like the Acne boots that were sold out last season seen on Rumi Neely from Fashion Toast. Not to worry, you don’t have to search for those any longer, get these instead. They are 5.5 inches and have a covered wedge. I can see these worn with a great black skirt, opaque black stockings, and a black turtleneck. Gorgeous and if you are 5 feet 2 like Kim Kardashian you can be 5 feet 7 1/2 inches instead.

Toms Glitter Sequin Silver Flats
Thinking about Back to School shopping? My discovery is that Toms Shoes are the best shoes on earth. Why? Kids love the sequin and adults love them too. They are flat and very comfortable. The insole is made with a leather interior and cushions your feet. AND every time you buy a pair Blake Mykoskie gives a pair to a child in need. What could be better than buying a pair of great shoes that are comfortable, great looking, and fun to wear that also gives to charity?
Now if you are one of those people who must wear a wedge heel, Toms also makes a pair of wedges that are 3 1/4 inches in height. I walked 24,000 steps each day for 2 days according to my pedometer at a Las Vegas convention this past August and my feet were comfortable and my shoes looked great.
Tom’s shoes are available at Nordstrom.com, Toms.com, Neimanmarcus.com.
Tory Burch Nude Ballet Flats so COMFORTABLE
Fall is coming soon but right now we are in that in between still hot but school is starting weather where it is cooler at night and still hot during the day. These are still the last few lazy days of summer when you want to transition out of your summer clothes and start wearing fall clothing. The best way to transition is to wear ballet flats instead of thong sandals and leggings instead of shorts.
One of my all time favorite pair of shoes is the comfortable leather Tory Burch Eddie Ballet Flat Nude Leather. The nude color on these ballet flats are just the right color nude. It is that color that everyone wants for their lipstick to do the W Magazine cover sex kitten mod look seen on Kristen Stewart this month.
I love these shoes and own them in patent leather navy and gray as well as this nude color in leather. Tory Burch has put some sort of cushion in the sole of the shoes so you feel like you are walking on pillows. And the sides of the shoes are very comfortable unlike some other ones wear an elastic mouth on the ballet shoes leave marks on the back of your foot. If you are looking for a great comfortable transition into fall shoe, get these Tory Burch Eddie Ballet Flats for $178,
