Charlotte Olympia Zodiac Shoes

See all 12 of Charlotte Olympia’s zodiac shoes »

This spring, Charlotte Olympia is focusing her attention on astrology. The near-iconic British shoe designer has launched two new collections of shoes and clutches inspired by horoscope personalities and zodiac symbols. The new Cosmic Collections titled “Birthday Shoes” and “Zodiac Pandora,” which include designs that each represent the 12 star signs and are available in stores and online today.

Handmade in Italy, the 12 zodiac signs are displayed like jewellery on suede flat shoes and colourful clutches. They were created with Swarovski crystal embellishments and hand painted for an extraordinary attention to detail. Each design reflects the personality of the particular zodiac sign. We love the blonde-haired Gemini twins and the golden Leo lion. Now, if only, we were all born under those signs…

Fall 2013 Shoes Del Pozo

Forget diamonds, everybody knows that shoes are a girl’s best friend. As the Fall 2013 trends begin to emerge, so too do the must-have heels, boots and flats of the season. This round of fashion week has brought with it oodles of new shoe trends to look out for. From strappy suede booties to architectural high heels, the New York, London, Milan and soon-to-be Paris runways are filled with quirky designs that can certainly be the finishing touch on any outfit.

So far, many designers are reinventing old classics and updating them with modern details. Case in point: high-heeled loafers, seen at Mulberry, Rag & Bone and Moschino, which gave a new feminine twist to menswear’s most classic shoe by using fresh yellows, and unexpected patterns. Speaking of unexpected combinations, one of the most unusual footwear trends is the emerging sandal-boot. Open-toe booties are nothing new, but this time designers such as Prada have created a boot customized with cutouts around the sides and front of the shoe.

Aldo Rise Roksanda Ilincic Fall 2013 01

See the Aldo Rise Fall 2013 collections from Roksanda Ilincic and Preen »

Building on the success of previous collaborations, Aldo has partnered with Preen and Roksanda Ilincic for its ongoing Aldo Rise collaboration series for Fall 2013. Aldo Rise, which has previously worked with designers such as J.W. Anderson and Mark Fast, creates footwear exclusively for designers to show in their runway collections. Aldo then produces the styles and sells them in their stores around the world. This is the fourth season Preen has worked with Aldo, and the second season for up and coming designer Roksanda Ilincic.

The Aldo Rise shoes were presented during both of the designers’ recent London Fashion Week presentations. At Preen, Creative Director Justin Thornton described the vibrant red heels as “tough and sexy with a collage of textures and finish.” In basic shapes that are actually realistic for everyday wear, these shoes are elegant with a touch of edge.

Joe Fresh Fall 2012 Shoes Intro

View selections from the Joe Fresh Fall 2012 shoe collection »

Since its launch in 2006, Joe Fresh has been on a whirlwind across Canada (and since late last year, the US) providing women with fashion-forward clothing at super affordable prices. And the store has hit the mark again for fall with their newly expanded shoe department.

The store is no stranger to selling shoes, but the expanded area within the brand’s freestanding boutique locations means for greater selection. And for us that means we have to clear room in our closets, as these shoes are on our must-have list already. With over 70 different styles available and multiple colours to choose from in each, you can expect to see (more) Joe Fresh on the feet of many fashionable ladies this fall. Read more »

The list: Fiery accents set classic black-and-white houndstooth ablaze

The list: Fiery accents set classic black-and-white houndstooth ablaze

See our editor’s houndstooth picks »

Black and white houndstooth is by no means a new trend in fashion—it gained mainstream popularity in the 1930s and has been modified many times over. For Fall 2012 designers have once again put their spin on the classic look and there are many houndstooth pieces that can be kicked up by simply adding red and gold accents.

Maisonette 1977’s form-fitting dress is not full-on houndstooth, but rather gives a hint of the pattern on the top and bottom in case you’re too nervous to go for the whole nine yards. However, for full-on houndstooth try the popular pattern on pants (like this pair by Melanie Lyne) or on a Jacob skirt. If you’re wearing houndstooth on the bottom, be sure to not do the same on top—break it up with a bold colour, like a red blouse from Equipment.

You can also add pops of colour with the accessories you choose to accent with. Red and black heels by Aquazzura will keep you completely on trend, or go small with jewellery. A red and gold ring by Kate Spade or some gold bracelets from Pandora will add just the right amount of colour, turning a classic outfit into something fiery and fresh.

All the cool girls from the best 1980s and 1990s movies wore suits. In Heathers it was a colour-coded way of life, and for Cher Horowitz, the power suit was a staple in her amazing technologically advanced closet. Everyone, and we mean everyone, knows her classic yellow plaid mini-skirt blazer combo.

Enter Fall 2012.

Prada Spring 2013 Thong Sock Shoes

Photograohy by Peter Stigter

View the Prada toe/thong/sock/platform photo evidence! »

It’s been a whole 24 hours since Miuccia Prada took her faith in the ugly-chic to its farthest extent, unleashing a Rei Kawakubo meets Mary Quant meets Marc Jacobs meets Marimekko hybrid collection accessorized with leather toe thong sock platforms at Milan Fashion Week Spring 2013. We’re still processing how we feel. Maybe we’re just finding a way to like the shoes because it feels bad to say anything bad about Prada. (It’s like; you’d never call your mom ugly, right?) Often with dear Miuccia, it takes a little while for eyes to adjust to her prophetic stylings (monkeys on stripes on poof sleeves? Hey!) but these little guys seem to be the first widely-disliked items Miuccia Prada has made in quite some time.
