Lace-up mid-calf Aldo

Originally uploaded by shoedish

You may be looking at this boot and suddenly questioning everything you know about shoes, but we are here to assure you that this little mid-calf boot is satisfying virtually every trend the fashion world is throwing in our faces this upcoming season, which begs the questions: what trends will you be following? The boot is big this fall and winter, from bootie to over-the-knee and all the shaft lengths in between. Mid-calf is making a big comeback, along with old west rustic lace-ups, chunky heels, and suede. While we would normally support and promote color-blocking, there is something just not right about the way this boot from Aldo’s color scheme is working, but aside from that, we’re rather intrigued by this Young Guns boudoir frontier boot. We’d be willing to take a step back in time, if only to test the waters.

Here are a few sexy shoe choices for Pour La Victoire. We are impressed! Championing the extreme cut-out and taking a page from a few designer handbooks, these sexy, femme fatale platform dress stilettos are making waves. It would be virtually impossible not to get noticed in these shoes. If you’re looking to avoid the mouth agape, “OMG! I love your shoes!” coming from the mouths of jealous women, we’d steer clear of these. We’ve chosen to provide both these platform looks here, because they’re distinctly different while remaining true to this fall’s trends. We can only imagine the mail we’ll receive for promoting the black, S&M pair. If ‘Sacha’s’ studs aren’t your thing and you’re looking to be less rock ‘n’ roll edgy and more lady-on-the-street-freak-in-the-sheet, than the flair of ‘Bianca’s’ cut-outs, platforms and peep-toes might be your cup of tea instead. Forget Betty and Veronica, are you a Sacha or Bianca? We’re sure you’ll find one to suit your needs. Shoedish, on the other hand, will take one of each.

Don’t you just love the retail holiday season? It’s always so fun to see Christmas trees at the beginning of November. Christmas comes and goes too fast, anyway, so shoedish is happy to start the celebrations two months in advance! In preparation for the parties, homecomings, and services you’ll likely attend over the next two months, shoedish has started a shoe wardrobe list of seasonal must-haves, from the perfect party shoe to the comfy cute travel footwear. Momma Shoedish once told us that we should always look put-together, but comfortable when we fly, because you never know who you might meet on a plane. A friend of a friend just married and had a baby with a man she sat next to on an international flight, so I guess Momma Shoedish was right. How will you be celebrating this holiday season? No matter what the season has in store, shoedish will make sure you’re footwear speaks to the occasion. First up, the perfect travel shoe. What, we couldn’t have told the above story and then started the holiday shoe series with a dress sandal. Any of the following picks will be great for impressing the home town on your holiday break, looking casually cute on an early morning flight, and all the post-holiday sale shopping you’ll be doing.

*Featured shoes are from Love from Australia, Aldo, Tory Burch, daniblack, Kate Spade, Franco Sarta, and Penny Loves Kenny.

Betsey Johnson nude

There is no question about shoedish’s pure and simple love for all things Betsey Johnson, so it was no surprise that when we stumbled upon these sexy nude numbers from the summer collection that we fell head over heels in love! What’s so great about these shoes is the synergy behind the raw nature of the design and the sleek simplicity of the feminine details. This is just more proof that opposites attract as long as there is full cooperation and communication. This is Australian Outback meets London’s West End, upper class meets blue collar, and of course, Allie meets Noah. This is a three-way marriage of style, posture, and design. Complete with raw stitching details and an oversized ribbon bow, we’re liking these open-toes from Betsey Johnson for just about any occasion.
