I am naturally not attracted to red—I have a total of three red pieces in my wardrobe. But when I saw the red suede Jimmy Choo Fire Cut-Out Ankle Boots like Fergie’s (below), I fell in love. Fire indeed! They are totally hot. There’s just something about all those stripes of skin peeking through.

Loading ...UPDATE (05/26/2011): Here’s a gorgeous budget-friendly Jimmy Choo look-a-like by Two Lips. These cut-out booties come also in black, natural, purple, blue & rose.

UPDATE (01/01/2011): Stumbled upon another budget-friendly Choo knockoff by Pierre Dumas. Available in either black or tobacco.

Who doesn’t love a Choo shoe? I know no woman alive who’d deny herself the pleasure if her finances could enable the experience. If only. Since most of us can’t fill our closets with boxes by Jimmy Choo (and because the Fire Cut-Out Ankle Boots are sold out anyway) here’s a nice consolation prize: the “Aphrodite” by Vince Camuto. They aren’t 100% like the Choo version, but still a shapely and sexy pair. Available in black, nude and natural… and I’m loving the natural for all those military looks planned for spring.

Also worthy of consideration are the “BASK IN GLORY” Cut-Out Booties by Office. Love this shoe for its Choo-like similarities (the buckle detail and opening at the ankle), and also for its daring differences (woven detail and trim). It’s also available in a delectable dark taupe that really showcases the lovely detail on these booties—you must click over to Office to see the 360-degree view. I’d even go so far as to say that I like the dark taupe better than the Choo booties. Now that speaks volumes, doesn’t it?

This spring we are celebrating the return of color! Well, Spring fashion is always pretty colorful, but this year I feel like designers have come to really appreciate all those beautiful vibrant colors like acid pink, lime green or cobalt blue. Especially in the footwear department. I’ve seen so many new colorful spring styles lately, it’s amazing. Neon pink seems to be one of the most used, trending colors for shoes now. Below you can see some of my top picks. Which leads me to my question: would you wear hot pink shoes? I admit it’s not for the faint of heart, but if worn with black/white/neutrals and accessorized with other neon accessories (in moderation, of course, e.g. a pink watch or matching pink lip maybe), I think it would make a really great statement look. But what do you think?

You see I love Miu Miu. I just can’t help it. While I may not approve of every collection, I like that Miuccia Prada always puts you on the fence with her designs. You can tell she’s one of the few designers who REALLY think outside the box and who sometimes sacrifice aesthetics for the sake of creativity & uniqueness. This might not work out every time with me, but I do appreciate her contribution to the world of arts anyway.
Today we’re talking clogs again. Le shoe du jour! They are everywhere now. The reintroduction of the wooden clog can be mainly attributed to Karl Lagerfeld who made the Dutch footwear look très avantgarde on Chanel’s Spring 2010 runway. However, personally I prefer Miu Miu’s more playful take on the classic clog. Unlike the Chanels, Miu Miu’s studded clogs are also quite reasonably priced at about $500 whereas Chanel’s version will run you in the thousands. Of course we understand that $500 can still be too expensive for a shoe you might want to hide in the darkest corner of your closet in a year from now.

UPDATE (02/10/2011): Yet another knockoff has been found. This Miu Miu inspired alternative by Mojo Moxy might not come studded, but the rest is still almost identical. Available in black, natural, orange, pink, taupe and turquoise.

Now look at this! Steve Madden has finally caught up on the clog trend. First, he made an almost identical version of the Chanel clogs and now he’s presenting us his take on the studded slingback Miu Mius which he combined with the also big right now nude trend. Only downside? These are currently pre-order only and won’t ship until the end of May. Boo! I still wouldn’t wait too long if you dig the clog trend because a) I’m fairly sure these are going to sell out pretty quickly and b) they have this 30% OFF promotion going on right now which will save you a big chunk of cash and it could expire any day, so if you like these, head over to the site and grab ‘em now! Btw, check out Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere rocking these Miu Miu look-a-likes (so fab!).
