Get Red Hot for Valentine's Day!!!!

So, some of us boycott the day, especially the "Single Ladies" and then there are some of us who completely immerse ourselves in the whole "Red Hot" love fest which is Valentine's Day! Well, whether you have your love sponge or are trying to attract that hottie, you should do it in shoes that will make him look twice, maybe even trice! Check you out mama!

Payless has these sexy patent-leather t-straps, Kassie for a mere $26.99, and no that is not the sale price! I can see you ladies tearing up the salsa floor in these fire-engine red pumps! You just may need to be hosed down! Ow! Lol!


I seriously these shoes!!! I would probably never take them off...aren't they sweet! I'm a size 8 for those who love me!!! This is probably the most awesome collaboration between Melissa Shoes + Vivienne Westwood. Snag them yourself for $175!


Your sugarplum-honeybunch will be seeing stars as you strut in these Marc Jacob must-haves for $484! He'll be thinking he's found a true angel! Flip these babies upside down and show him what a devil you can be when you're serving him dessert! Yum!


Now, it's still February, so it's still a bit chills-ville outside but you can still look steamy hot, can't you? Alexandra Neel can help you with that task with these sale boots for $399 ...
Suede tie-ups moccasins with luxurious fur trim will not only keep those stems warm, but affording you that "I'm casual, but damn sexy" appeal! As Tim Gunn says, "Make it work!"

Chloe doesn't put up a shabby showing either. Look stunning in these "studded" leather slouch boots also on sale for $759. Throw on those dark skinny jeans and a great blouse to wow the many male spectators who are sure to be falling in line just to look at you!


In closing, I say bring the sexy out on Valentine's Day ladies...whether it's on your feet or simply your smile.

XOXO...The Shoenista!

Rubber never looked so good!

Rubber shoes. My first thought of rubber shoes makes my toes cringe. All I can think about are sweaty feet and pretty ugly shoes! But strangely enough, that is not the case, as far as the ugly is concerned...sweaty feet, quite possibly.

Melissa, a Brazilian eco-friendly label who has been producing shoes for the last 25 years, constructs all of their shoes, which they affectionately refer to as "Fashion Accessories", out of plastic. The Melissa shoe brand is heavy on
the artistic asthetic as well as being environmentally concious which makes the branding and designs that much more appealing. Another aspect of their branding which is extraordinarily cool are the collaborations with uber talented artists that bring the most amazing creations to life. Past and current collaborations include, Alexandre Herchcovitch, The Campana Brothers, and Ms. Vivienne Westwood who will be a part of the Winter 08 collection as pictured below.



The newest addition to the collabo roster is none other than reknowed, Iraqi-born female architect, Zaha Hadid. In 2004, she was the first female to be awarded the
Pritzker Architecture Prize, which is the equivalent to the Nobel Prize in the architecture community. Most recently, she has been noted for the Mobile Art structure she created for Chanel to display their merchandise. Now, to add to her long list of accomplishments, shoe designer will be included.



These space-y creations will be available exclusively at London's Dover Street Market this September in 8 different colors. These are definitely a collector's item and sure to go fast! If you're interested I suggest you make some phone calls ASAP!!!

I am going to lock down a few other pairs on the Melissa site. I think I've found another brand to add to my FAV list. I beg you to check out the site...The Shoenista approves!
