Shoe-of-the-day: Alexander McQueen

This week saw the passing of a major fashion icon: Alexander McQueen. This news would be tragic regardless, but I'm especially saddened as McQueen has continuously been one of my favorite designers - both for clothing and shoes. He had an otherwordly, fantastical, and gothic (and at times controversial) style and his abundant creativity will be missed greatly.

Shoe-of-the-day: Deena and Ozzy

I've always had a thing for herringbone/tweed. Not sure if it's the texture of the fabric or the suits that are generally made from it, but I like that shoes have embraced this trend too!

Isn't the heel shape on these great?!

I don't know much about this brand at all (Deena and Ozzy) but they seem to be under Urban Outfitters (which is where I found these). I don't know that UO is all that eco-friendly but I become mildly obsessed with them every now and then for having cutting edge style and innovative books/ideas/fun housewares.

Shoe-of-the-day: Louboutin

These are gorgeous. And would be great for the holidays or New Year's. I like that they are not typically flashy and shiny but are still showstopping.

Shoe-of-the-day: Ed Hardy

Okay I get no points from the environment today b/c I'm not so sure that the Ed Hardy brand is super sustainable.... but I love the graphics on these! (Though I did notice on the shoes website lots of talk about organic fabric, hemp, etc, I can't find that on the main site....?)

Shoe-of-the-day: Dior

For many of us the holiday season craziness is in full swing and we may be feeling a little StReSSeD! These shoes (Dior courtesy of Saks Fifth Ave) to me would be the perfect counterbalance to that - fun and sexy and not 'save the earth' at all - oh well! Happy freakin' holidays!

Shoe-of-the-day: hand-painted pumps

I always wonder how 'hand-painted' wears with shoes.... but I do like the design of these from one of my favorite places to 'shop' - Etsy.

Shoe-of-the-day: Mustard yellow!

To counteract some of the darker posts I've had recently (and to try to get back to posting more eco-friendly options) I was looking for something sunny, and this mustard yellow pump from Vegan Chic is pretty much perfect.
