Black leather is a classic combo with spikes, but I’m drooling over the barely-there shade of nude, which draws even more attention to the spike detail and, hopefully, elongates the legs. It’s especially ideal for spring and adding nice dose of tough to those sweet little girly dresses many of us like to wear when the weather heats up.  There are several places to purchase these shoes right now, but the best price I’m seeing is at Shoes.com, where you can find the nude, white, black suede and black leather versions for $199 each.  Apply coupon code VISA to discount your total by 20% and drop the price to $159.20 with free shipping.  The coupon may require payment by Visa and expires 6/30/11.  A few other stores that carry the Lorissa include Zappos, Endless, Solestruck and Piperlime.

These spikes look downright dangerous, don’t they?  Wear these out and show ‘em who’s boss.

If you love the light and airy concoction known as the Christian Louboutin Canon 140 chiffon bootie, or the similar Christian Louboutin Canonita, you’re definitely not alone.  Multiple celebs have been seen wearing these styles - Jennifer Lopez, Hilary Duff, Lea Michele, Katherine Heigl and Jessica Biel, just to name a few - but all that sheer goodness comes at a high cost.  The Canon 140 is available in black at Barney’s for $1,295 or in nude at Luisaviaroma for $1,095 and the Canonita 140 is available in white at Net-a-Porter for $995.  If you’re looking for a less expensive sheer bootie with ruching detail along the front, these lookalike shoes will provide maximum exposure for the feet, but for a whole lot less:

The black version of the Steve Madden Damsell has a dot pattern in the fabric similar to the Canon 140, making it a closer lookalike, but I’m really liking the contrast found in the distinct black and champagne version:

It also comes in purple and each are available for $109.95 at Steve Madden.  Apply coupon code Rmn15f to get 15% off and free shipping, which makes them $93.46.  The expected ship date is 11/15.

The Chinese Laundry Haylie shootie is available in black or bronze for $89 at Shoes.com.  Coupon code VISA takes 20% off, making them $71.20, and free shipping is included (coupon may require Visa payment).

The Chinese Laundry Haylie in blush (or black) is available at Shoemall for $89.95.  Coupon code VISASHOEMALL takes 20% off until 11/30 (may require Visa payment) or use SPECIAL15 for 15% off (expiration unknown).

For a similar style in red, try the Nine West Exposure for $88.95 with free overnight shipping at Endless.  It also comes in black.

Hope everyone has a fab weekend!

Any shoe lover who watched the Jersey Shore reunion on MTV probably took note of the statement-making cutout boots Nicole Polizzi, a.k.a. Snooki, wore to the show.  If you didn’t see the special, here’s another look:

After seeing them, I had to give Snooks a big thumbs up (or fist pump, rather) for her choice of hot shoes and then I became rather determined to find them.  After waving my magic shoe wand, checking around a bit, and recalling that Bebe is one of her favorite places to shop, I found these:

This is the Bebe Camila and, unfortunately, it is now sold out.  And, if it looks like something high-end designer to you, that’s because it’s inspired by, or a close knockoff of, the Gucci Helena:

This style is almost sold out completely too, but Bluefly has one size left right now for $1,240.  It’ll probably go quick - just take a look at Angelina Jolie in these shoes.

Since both of these are unavailable, I found some more cutout boots that show a bit of skin for a similar effect:

The Calvin Klein Brielle for $99 - $219.45 depending on size selection at Amazon (limited sizes). Also available in limited sizes at Shoes.com for $196.35. Get 20% off with coupon code VISA (may require Visa payment), making them $157.08.

Asos Baltimore for $275.84 at Asos.

Update:  Another similar option from Bebe, the Bebe Jimmy Lasercut Boot in black or brown for $298.

I couldn’t resist the Flo Rida reference in the title but, hey, it works when it comes to one of the big shoe trends for fall.  Betty Wang, senior buyer of designer shoes at Saks Fifth Avenue, told the New York Times that fur boots are the hottest selling shoes at Saks Fifth Avenue right now, both fur-lined boots and boots with fur on the outside of the shoe.  Although she references the pricey Jimmy Choo Yule and the Christian Louboutin Toundra, you can always apply the trend for much, much less.  Fur-lined boots are always comfy-cozy, but today’s post is more about form than function; i.e. fur on the outside.  I like the Sam Edelman Shalin (pictured above) because it uses quite an extensive amount of fur, but still manages to look sleek and stylish.  You can get it at Karmaloop for $200 and apply coupon code SAVE20 for 20% off and free shipping, making them $160.  Here’s some more fur styles, at moderate price points, that I’ve been checking out:

The Nine West Priska, a similar, but lower-priced, alternative for the Christian Louboutin Toundra that was also mentioned in a recent Rachel Zoe Report.  This pair is available for $149 at Nine West.

The Naughty Monkey D Lux for $79 at Shoes.com and $63.20 after applying coupon code VISA (exp. 2/28/11, may require Visa payment).

The Anne Michelle Savior 56 for $53 at LuLu’s.  A more casual option is also available at LuLu’s, the Wanted Tundra for $57.

The Skechers Struts for $79 at Amazon.

The Bearpaw Kaska for $84.99 - $89.95 depending on size/color selection at Amazon.

Dolce Vita Tatum for $240 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Update: Here’s another one I like, the Aldo Vanderau for $110 at Aldo.

Note that all of the boots pictured here are made of faux fur with the exception of the Dolce Vita pair.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and, to support the cause, QVC has partnered with the Fashion Footwear Association of New York since 1994 for the FFANY Shoes on Sale event.  This year’s benefit, which takes place October 15, 2010 from 7-10 pm ET on QVC, will feature over 100,000 pairs of shoes on sale for half off retail price with net proceeds benefiting breast cancer research and education.  One of the shoes available will be the Fergie Hope, which is a pink version of the Fergie Tazed (both currently sold at Shoes.com).  Normally $89, the pink Hope heels will be available for just $45 on QVC and 100% of proceeds from the sale of these will go to help fight breast cancer, according to Peoplestylewatch.com.  Fergie shows us how to rock this pair in the pic above and you can also see them modeled by actresses Denise Richards and AnnaLynne McCord on the Fergie Footwear Facebook page.  These are definitely some hot pink heels (and who doesn’t love pink?), but when you get 50% off the price and support a great cause all at once, they get even hotter.

QVC will have a selection of web-exclusive shoes available online after the live broadcast, although I don’t know if the Fergie Hope will be a part of that selection.  The same style is also available for regular online purchase at Fergieshoes.com and Shoes.com.
