While the weather outside is still pretty frightful in most parts of the country, you can still keep yourself warm with thoughts of the impending warm spring weather. I know which shoes I’m dreaming about for SS12, but I want to know which pairs of chic footwear have got you counting down the days to Spring Break!
Are you flipping out over some of the season’s latest flip-flops? Are visions of peep-toe platforms dancing in your head? Do tell!

Happy New Year! Hopefully you received everything on your holiday wish list this year, and now it’s time to move on to the biggest blast of the year: New Year’s Eve!
I’ll be attending a fete at one of my favorite lounges in downtown Los Angeles, but I’m having a little trouble figuring out which shoes to wear. I’ll be wearing your basic LBD, and I need a pair of shoes that will really make the outfit pop! So here are my shoe nominees:
The Suede & Metallic Loafer Pump from Nicholas Kirkwood or the Chastelyn from Boutique 9.
Operators are standing by, so cast your vote today!

In this episode of the Christmas Countdown, we bring you shoe gift ideas for the woman who spends her life in stilettos. If her motto is “the higher the better,” then we’ve got the greatest gifts for her!
Four Inches
Four inches may be a little low on the stiletto scale, but they still quality as sky-high heels (and they make your legs look fantastic!) The Rosette Accnt pump from Journee will make a great gift. Not only are they available in a fire engine red shade, but the floral detail at the ankle is nothing short of chic.
Four ½ Inches
Ivanka Trump has created some of the sexiest stilettos on the market! Check out these Bulbi peep-toe pumps. They’re available in several different colors, but my personal favorite is the fabulous purple shade. Pair it with a basic LBD and some sparkly accessories, and you’re ready to hit the town!
Five Inches +
The sky is the limit with these stunning Paisley platform pumps from Mossimo. The electric blue shade is sure to delight the lucky lady on your gift list and the sky-high stiletto will give her a boost as well!

A very famous shoe designer was recently quoted as saying that, basically, he’s over platforms. Apparently platforms are “gimmicky…look dated…[and] are over now.”
So what do you think? Is this guy tipping us all off to the end of platforms, or are platforms here to stay?

I’m going out for drinks with the girls this weekend, which got me thinking about not only what outfit I should wear, but what shoes would complete the look. So I decided to take a look around the myshoes site for some inspiration. Here are a few of my top choices for ladies’ night out shoes.
$$$
Valentino’s Bridal platforms are five inches of footwear madness! They feature a floral detail and a price that’s almost as sky-high as the stiletto heel: $795!
You’ll think twice about paying back your student loans when you feast your eyes on the Boston peep-toe pump from Sergio Rossi. For a cool $715 you can cover your feet in designer style.
$$
If you want a little more bang for your buck, then you must check out the Swagger platform from Topshop. For only $124 you can look chic, sophisticated, and still afford to eat dinner while you’re out.
To add a little sass to your look, the Arael style from Boutique 9 fits the scene just right. These lace-up leather booties have a 4.5-inch heel and fringe detail. Total damage: $120
$
Frilly and fabulous will be the first words that come to mind when you lay your eyes on the Glow pump from Unlisted. The reasonable 3.5-inch peep-toe heel is only overshadowed by the very reasonable price: $69.95
And since you can never have too many pairs of sling-back patent leather pumps in your wardrobe, Baby Phat is giving you the opportunity to stock up. The Cassidy style will only set you back $34.99, so you just might want to get them in every color they come in: black, pink, fuchsia, and white.

Snake prints are everywhere this season, and as we see it, it’s the duty of the myShoes team to give you the inside scoop on all things exotic. So we’ve gathered up the best looks that the animal kingdom has to offer. It’s time to grab your snake-bite kit and be prepared to step out in the most sssstunning shoes on the market:
Flat Out Fabulous
The most comfortable way to rock the snake-skin look is in a pair of comfy flats, and the Vibrant style from TopShop is a great place to start. Not only are they sophisticated and a little bit dangerous, but the bow detail gives them a feminine edge. And for only $36 you’ve got no reason not to buy them.
But seeing as how woman can not live on ballet flats alone, there’s also the Nariko loafer/mocccasin style from Dolce Vita. The leather shoe features an embossed snake-skin print and offers an overall simple, subtle look.
High and Mighty
But if you consider “flat” to be a four-letter word, then perhaps you’d be more comfortable rocking the snake-skin trend in a pump/platform look. The Destiny style from Carlos by Carlos Santana is 4.5 inches of stiletto heaven. But the platform sole will keep your feet comfortable while looking fabulous.
And if you like a little color with your snake-like look, then check out the Sultry shoe from Topshop. The electric blue leather pump offers a sky-high 5-inch heel that will definitely get you noticed.
Boot Up
Chic boot styles are our last stop on the snake-skin train. If money is no object, then I offer you the Paige style from Alice + Olivia. It has a heel height of about 5 inches, a shocking red hue, and will look positively outstanding with a short LBD.
And for all of my budget fashionistas, there’s the Just Fun peep-toe bootie from Luichiny. They’re a steal at only $89.99 and feature just a hint of snake-skin detail at the top, on the heel and around the ankle. Sexy, chic, and fabulous.
