Ashley-Spiker-Liam-Fahy-shoes

London based shoe designer, Liam Fahy has designed a vibrant Spring 2013 collection titled ‘Congo’. He’s been on my radar for awhile and I’ve been particularly fond of the Charlotte pumps ever since Alexis Bledel wore them several years ago. Liam was also a winner of the recent “New Gen” award presented by The British Fashion Council.

This collection was influenced by a 1951 classic movie, ‘African Queen’ starring the iconic Katherine Hepburn. The African-inspired designs feature hand printed Java-textiles from Tanzania & Zimbabwe, zebra-print suede, appliqué and mix of materials.

My three favorite designs are the Charlotte pump (pictured on me), Brigitte snakeskin sandal and Lis patent leather sandal.

As far as flats go, the Colette slipper is in this month’s Vogue UK and has the same yellow print adorned with a Congolese mask. There’s also the Becky loafer featuring a giant fur pom pom.

You can shop this collection online at Liam Fahy.

Brian-Atwood-Spring-2013-campaign

I’ve been excited to share my favorite styles from Brian Atwood’s vibrant Spring 2013 collection. The new Evie sandal quickly became red carpet favorite which we’ve spotted on Nicole Kidman, Krysten Ritter, Victoria Justice and Nina Dobrev. We’ve also seen the white leather Kayla sandal featured in Issue 2 of CR Fashion Book.

Since Brian Atwood’s e-boutique launched last year, it has been fully stocked with shoes and bags, plus the newly launched jewelry line.

I’ve listed my top 10 favorite designs as well as their online availability. You can shop spring styles at Brian Atwood, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, MyTheresa, Colette, Net-A-Porter, Forward by Elyse Walker, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom.

If you need help finding a specific style or size, contact the Madison Avenue flagship boutique.

I also recommend reading this newly published article on Business of Fashion about Brian Atwood, his story and the brand’s future.

Rupert-Sanderson-Spring-2013

Rupert Sanderson designed a statement spring collection which has something for everyone. It’s playful and creative but still includes what I call the “staples”, like the new Elba pointed-toe pump. Elba is a red carpet favorite which we’ve seen on Zoe SaldanaNaomi WattsMichelle Dockery and Emma Stone. Several styles feature an embroidered cockatoo appliqué and there’s even a wedge boot with western stitching.

My top 3 favorite designs: the metallic pink Harting sandal, Latifa lip suede platform sandal and the Zandy cut-out arrow sandal in white leather

Gwyneth Paltrow, Amanda Seyfried & January Jones have also worn styles from this collection plus Victoria Beckham loves the Birdie pump (pictured below)!

Walter-Steiger-LogoWalter Steiger’s Spring 2013 collection is fairytale-inspired and full of unicorns, pixies & amphibians. Steiger plays with his signature bow-shaped heel and we see it covered in studs, designed with a metal finish and covered in crinkle fabric.

Ashley Tisdale recently wore the new Temptress sandals to a red carpet premiere and Kim Kardashian was spotted wearing the “Theo” at Paris Fashion Week.

Steiger also collaborated with Victoria, Victoria Beckham again for her Fall 2013 show just presented at New York Fashion Week.

My top 4 favorite styles are the TerminusTinkerbellTadpole and Tempo sandals.

There are many more styles available online this season and I’ve listed the retailers below.

Jerome-C-Rousseau-logoJerome C. Rousseau had a fantastic 2012! We saw his shoes on Lea Michele, Nikki Reed and Leighton Meester (to name a few). He’s already off to a wonderful new year as we just saw Julianne Hough wear a custom creation on the red carpet at the Golden Globes.

Plus, this season he also launched a small selection of clutch handbags and minaudières!

This collection gained a lot of buzz when Kristen Stewart wore the new Popp sandal during the final ‘Twilight Saga’ promo tour. You can read more about the inspiration behind the line in a detailed interview at WWD.

The nude patent Zell, nude/silver Lund sandal and orange lace Juda bootie are my three favorite designs

Although this collection hasn’t hit retailers yet (I will keep you posted) several spring styles are available online for pre-order at Rousseau’s new e-Boutique.

*The Juda, Treide & Pulce are now available online at Saks Fifth Avenue*

Sophia-Webster-Spring-2013

There’s been much ado about Sophia Webster ever since she debuted this Spring/Summer 2013 collection with the cutest presentation last September during London Fashion Week. Her designs are playful, whimsical and feminine with an exciting dash of Lisa Frank. 

Since then, several styles have become available online exclusively at Net-A-PorterChloë Moretz also donned a pair of polka-dot sandals on the red carpet.

She has an impressive résumé which included working as Nicholas Kirkwood’s design assistant. Kirkwood acted as Webster’s mentor as well, helping her launch this collection.

In a recent interview with Vogue UK Sophia said, “My shoes are for women who want to express their personality through their shoes and will appreciate and enjoy them.”

You can shop her shoes online at Net-A-Porter and Colette. Also, follow Sophia on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

10 styles I want on my feet right now:

This cruise collection has Jennifer Lopez’ name all over it! I only liked a few designs from the fall/winter collection however there are many enviable styles featured below. I predict this collection (as well as their spring collection) will again be a red carpet favorite this award season.

The Maya pump is already a celeb favorite and has been spotted on Amanda Seyfried and Gwyneth Paltrow. We’ve also seen Taylor Swift wear the Torte pump and Krysten Ritter in the Diffuse sandal.

My three favorite designs: the Malika sandal bootie in silver/gold (see what they look like on the foot), Diffuse lace-up sandal in snakeskin and the Kera crystal-embellished sandal in nude suede

I love this collection, it’s one of my favorites this season. So much so that I had to Santa had to snatch up one of the sandals already….

Giuseppe Zanotti Spring 2013 sandal

We’ve spotted these styles on Rita Ora, Lea Michele, Jessica Alba, Solange Knowles, Diane Kruger & Julie Bowen. I like too many of them to choose my top 3…I can’t wait to see what the strappy lace-up with the gold-tone heel with look like on the foot.

Christian Louboutin has been unveiling the latest spring collection a little differently this season. Instead of having the usual countdown and hosting an interactive look book on his web site, they’re slowly releasing new designs through the e-boutique.

The spring styles are always brighter, more playful and I think this is one of the more wearable collections. It’s a mix of media madness (a trend in shoes this season) balanced out with several feminine, classic designs (such as the V-Neck, Flo).

We’ve already seen Jessica Alba wear the June slingback, Gemma Arterton in the Fifi Spikes and Jessica Biel wore the V-Neck in ELLE.

I like the Pigalle stripes, colorful Diptic bootie and nude Fifi Spikes.

**You can shop the latest styles online at Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Net-A-Porter.**

**Shopbop now carries the Sexy Thing, Sexy Star, Very Sexy!**

I first saw this Cruise 2013 collection for pre-order on Moda Operandi this summer. This collection is beautiful and very wearable. The chic Giovanna Battaglia is a big fan of Aquazzura’s shoes and so is Nina Garcia.

What I love: the colorful snakeskin, soft suede, small laser-cut star details, string tie closures…there are many different styles I love – and want!

My favorite designs: the Amazon (can’t decide between the nude & blue), Very Sexy in blue and the Sexy Star in pink.

I also featured the nude Amazon sandal in my recent shoe crush post.

Look for this collection available online around the end of November. Until then, you can shop the fall collection online at Shopbop, LuisaViaRoma & Saks Fifth Avenue.

Which styles strike your fancy?
