As I mentioned in Part 1 of my Shoes Seen On TV posts, I have even more hot shoes from the small screen to talk about, so let’s just jump right into Part 2, shall we? Pictured above, we have Rose Byrne, who went on Chelsea Lately wearing some statement-making stunners that Chelsea Handler complimented right away when Rose walked out. I most definitely recognized the Kirkwood aesthetic going on:

Rose wore the Nicholas Kirkwood Lace-Up Lace Platform Sandal, which can be found at Bergdorf for a whopping $1,195. These are ah-mazing, but definitely not a viable option for every budget. To get a style that’s comparable, but much less expensive, check out this pair:

The Sole Boutique Sydney is certainly Kirkwood-inspired with the similar silhouette and crisscross lace detail in the front, but it differs with its trendy cutout platform and even higher heel: 6 inches (wowza) compared to the 5 1/3 inches on the Kirkwoods. You can find these at Karmaloop for $50 and coupon code 10OFF takes $10 off for a limited time.

Moving right along to The Real Housewives, where my little eye can always spy some fab footwear — the New York reunion show was no exception. Now, these reunions are all about stirring up a little controversy but, I must say, some of the “mean girl” behavior went a little far this time (I’m looking at you brunettes! Yeah, ok, Ramona too). However, the ladies always play it nice when it comes to their reunion fashion and I particularly liked Jill Zarin’s look, which included gorgeous lace bow heels. They appear to be this pair:

The Valentino Bow Trim Lace Pump is $885 at Nordstrom, but here are some similarly lacey options that come in at much less:

The Chinese Laundry Hotline in black, which is $70 at Bakers.

The Paris Hilton Senorita in lace for $94.99 with free shipping at Heels.com.
Now a final question: Have you seen any shoes on TV lately that made you swoon? Do share!

I had a request from my new Facebook friend, Laura, a bride-to-be who is looking for teal wedding shoes to match the absolutely beautiful dress (pictured above) that she picked for her big day. Specifically, she wants to find teal satin heels from 3-4″ in a peep toe d’orsay style with knotted detail or a bit of bling on the front. I’m happy to help out and I think teal is such a great color, but it can be tricky to find in shoes. Here are some styles that match all or most of the criteria Laura is looking for, making them viable options for walking down the aisle in gorgeous style:

First, we have the turquoise satin Paris Hilton Suarey. While it isn’t knotted in the front, it does have a pleated side bow that adds visual interest and you could always add something like these shoe clips (or perhaps these) for some added sparkle over the middle piece of the bow. These shoes are $95 at Shoes.com and you can apply coupon code SECRET20 for an extra 20% off through 7/5/11.

Then we have another style from the same brand, the Paris Hilton Spelled in turquoise satin. While it’s listed as the same color as the Suarey, this one strikes me as being more of a true teal shade, at least from this photo. It isn’t d’orsay or peep toe, but has the knotted front and some pretty bling along the top of the heel. Shoes.com has this style for $109 and you can get 20% off with the coupon code listed above. For additional size options, try Amazon.com or Heels.com.

While the Paris Hilton shoes are nice ready-made options, it might be best to try custom bridal shoes to really fine tune the details. My Glass Slipper offers a wide selection of designer shoes for brides, many of which can be dyed in your choice of the variety of colors they have available. Its sister site BridalShoes.com is similar, but offers less expensive wedding shoes under $100. The Pink Hot style pictured above, shown in teal, is priced at $89 with an extra $10 charge to dye it. They have many more shoes to choose from at various price points, but here are some I found that have all (or many) of the features Laura is looking for and can be ordered in white and then dyed teal for $10 extra:

Stuart Weitzman Knotted in white for $289. Note that some sizes won’t be available until September.

Benjamin Adams Salma for $199.

Paris Hilton Senorita for $120. You can dye the bow and toe area one color and the rest of the shoe a different color if desired, which is pretty cool.

Liz Rene Saskia for $92.

Pink Saffron for $80.

Pink Kiss for $80.
Note that once shoes are ordered and dyed, they are not returnable. However, they do offer Try-N-Dye, which is where you order the shoes to try them on and ensure they will work for you, then return them to get dyed (see site for details). You can also order a swatch of your desired color for $1.
Congrats to Laura and hopefully this will help out!

I’ve had tie-dye shoes on my radar ever since Gwyneth Paltrow attended the Country Music Awards late last year wearing an all-out glam Versace gown paired with tie-dye heels by Christian Louboutin. It was a somewhat unexpected choice for her shoes, since tie-dye is normally considered a more casual, boho look, but they coordinated perfectly with the ombre effect of her dress. It’s an example of tie-dye gone fancy, but I loved the look and that’s why I’m also loving these adorable Rachel Rachel Roy Eviana heels. Although I won’t be donning Versace with Louboutins à la Gwyneth anytime soon, these shoes convey a similar, more casual look that would work well with cute little spring dresses, jeans, leggings or pretty much anything else you can think of. They also go along nicely with the spring denim trend I mentioned before. You can get them at Rachel Roy for $99 or at Macy’s for the same price. This pretty pink and grey reptile version is available as well:

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

It seems a lot of people are on the hunt for the perfect pair of purple shoes, like in another recent Find My Shoes post, and I’m all too happy to help out in the search because I definitely find myself drawn to this pretty shade too. This time, we have Sara, who mentioned on Facebook that she is looking for a dark purple satin pair with clear crystal detail. I checked into it and found some shoes that just might fit the bill based on her description (or at least come close). Here are the options I came across:

The Nina Nabal in purple for $44.98 plus shipping at 6pm or $65 with free shipping at Zappos (MSRP $89.95).

The Menbur Narya in purple for $106.31 (list $124) with free 2-day shipping from Endless. I’m loving the sparkle down the heel.

The Menbur Chloe for $138.81 (list $184) with free 2-day shipping from Endless. We don’t have all clear stones on this one, but it’s still a viable option. Also, check out more in purple from Menbur here (I’m loving the Arda).

The Paco Mena Pelori for $95 with free 2-day shipping at Endless, plus more purple heels from the same brand.

The Miss Me Jocelyn-27 in purple for $46.33 (most sizes) with free shipping at Amazon.
Hopefully this will help, but it’s also worth noting that Facebook friend Crystal Couture out of the UK does custom crystal shoes, so that may be something to check into as well. They have the purple Crystal Snowdrops (scroll down to see it) as an option.

Update: Here’s another gorgeous purple pair, the Steve Madden Luvly. Find it at Steve Madden for $129.95.

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for things to heat up for spring. Although it’s still plenty cold outside and will be for quite awhile, I find that just looking at something sizzling hot can help conjure up a feeling of warmth, even if only for a brief minute. That’s why I’m talking about a fiery new color trend for spring today: orange shoes. I’ve been noticing a lot of orange around lately, most notably on Drew Barrymore in Jil Sander at a recent Cover Girl party and all over the runways, as seen on SheFinds and The Fashion Spot. I’ve always loved orange because it’s such a warm hue and, in it’s brightest form, made for super-high visibility. It also sets off a tan very well, which is always a plus (if you have a tan, that is). But, generally speaking, it’s probably one of the more under-used colors in fashion, especially for footwear. If you want to apply this trend to your shoes, which is is a nice way to add a pop of color in this shade without running the risk of orange overload, you might try one of these pairs:

Nine West Playtag for $79 at Nine West.

Charles David Primp for $230 at Endless.

Mojo Moxy Bollywood for $89.95 at Endless.

Seychelles Gypsy for $54.90 at Endless.

Two Lips Ignite for $99.95 at Endless.

Anne Klein Marcella for $39.99 at Shoe Woo with an extra 50% off at checkout (limited sizes, all sales are final).

Update: Here’s another cute orange pair, the Fergie Quilla for $89 with free shipping at Shoes.com. Coupon code VISA takes 20% off regularly-priced items, making them $71.20 (exp. 6/30/11, may require Visa payment).

When it comes to finding the ideal pair of holiday party shoes, it’s hard to go wrong if you treat your feet like you would a exquisitely wrapped gift - i.e. package them in something shiny and top it all off with a big fancy bow. That’s exactly what you can do with the perfectly pretty Boutique 9 Glamy platform pump in black (pictured above), which features a satin upper and a sparkly rhinestone studded bow. In addition to black, it also comes in two metallic color options, each of which are versatile enough to potentially make these your go-to pair for instant, easy glam whenever the situation calls for it this season:

You can get a great deal on these shoes right now at Nine West. They are on sale for $139.99 (regularly $160) and you get an instant 30% off at checkout. Then, apply coupon code NWLOVES to get an additional $25 off $75, which further discounts the price to $72.99 with free shipping. Note: If you prefer a d’orsay version of this shoe with a lower heel and no platform, be sure to check out the Boutique 9 Derry that comes in the same color options. It’s available for $160 and drops to $135 with free shipping after the above coupon.
I also noticed a very similar pair of shoes from Steve Madden:


This is the Steve Madden Minnii slingback bow pump in blush or black and it’s available on preorder at Steve Madden for $129.95. Coupon code Rmn15f takes 15% off and gives free shipping, which reduces the price to $110.46. The expected ship date is 11/25.

I’m a fan of Naughty Monkey shoes, so I love finding a great bargain on the brand. And although I already own the Naughty Monkey Fiesta heel, I’ve had to notice that the same pair is going on sale for super-low prices lately - quite a bit lower than I paid (but they were so worth it). Amazon has the best price I’ve seen for the black and brown Naughty Monkey Fiesta shoes, which are both priced at $32.38 in most sizes with free shipping. Another nice price can be found at Piperlime, where the brown and purple versions are marked down to $39.99 (purple is almost sold out) and coupon code EXTRA20 takes another 20% off until 7/22/10, making them $31.99 with free shipping. From what I can tell, the brown Fiesta has been less popular than, say, the yellow Fiesta, but I can very well imagine pairing it with the other LBD - the little brown dress - with superb results. If you’ve ever owned a perfect little brown dress, you know what I mean.

Or, you can opt for the similar, but newer, model of mini studded pumps offered by Naughty Monkey. The Naughty Monkey Star Studded is on sale at 6pm for $47.99, marked down from its MSRP of $79.99. I’m liking the grey version, which reminds me a bit of those shoes Sarah Jessica Parker wore to the Sex and the City premier with her yellow dress. Or, you can go for something bright with the blue and pink options or choose classic black, each for the same price. However, if you like pink, head over to Amazon to get them for $45.86 with free shipping instead and save even more.
To find discounts on addtional Naughty Monkey styles, check out the selection at Amazon and 6pm. The expiration on the sale prices listed here are unknown.
