Alexander McQueen pump | 5″ heel & 1″ platform | buy online at Zappos for $825.00
Yes, you can find a shoe from this Spring 2013 honeybee-inspired collection without spending $4k! This pump features black honeycomb-embossed 3D patent leather, peep-toe and bow-shaped sculpted heel. The honeycomb pattern is also on the insole with a lightly padded nude leather panel. Half sizes are available.
The largest, jam-packed fashion week of them all – Paris!
Here are my thoughts, presented as mini awards:
*I love the design but they might kill my feet…………Balenciaga
I love the look of these sleek pointed-toe d’Orsay pumps but the strap between the toes is so skinny and looks rather uncomfortable.
*The shoe lover’s dream collection…………from head-to-toe infact, Oh, Dior!
What a beautiful collection featuring Andy Warhol’s shoe sketches on dresses, clutches and bags:
Remember these pathetic Warhol shoe cookies I made 3 years ago? I revisited the post and found this truism, “Fantasy and clothes go together a lot.”
*Unexpected & interesting…………Givenchy
These eye-catching striped boots combined multiple types of snakeskin (I count 3). They reach the mid-calf with a bulbous toe and short curved heel.
*I’ll pass on…………the tractor soles at Stella McCartney
McCartney’s fall shoe collection is completely two-faced! A majority of the runway looks were worn with loafers & boots accented propped up on giant tractor soles. Towards the end of the show however, (thankfully) several feminine sculpted wooden wedges made their debut.
*I surprisingly liked & they’re wearable…………Louis Vuitton
These ankle-strap platform sandals are wearable and cute. Most styles featured antique-looking smooth leather and there were also two designs covered with feathers.
Although I can’t find any detailed photos, the Christian Louboutin for Alessandra Rich pumps are adorable.

Check out the shoes spotted at New York, London and Milan Fashion Week.
Mila Kunis wore Christian Louboutin Flo peep-toe platform pumps to the London premiere of ‘Oz The Great and Powerful’. This is a new style from the Spring 2013 collection featuring black patent leather and 120mm heel. Flo is available online in black patent leather at Christian Louboutin US, yellow patent leather at MyTheresa and nude leather/pink patent/black leather at Saks Fifth Avenue.
The dresses in Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2013 collection are incredible but somehow Mila managed to make this Spring 2013 lace tulle tiered gown look dowdy. She accessorized with a one-of-a kind sugarloaf emerald ring by Alexandra Mor.

Beyoncé is featured in the March 2013 issue of Vogue wearing Alexander McQueen platform sandals. These shoes are from the Spring 2013 collection featuring red satin, crystal-embellished straps and sculpted lucite heel filled with red crystals. There’s only one shoe available online from this collection right now with a glitter-filled platform at Neiman Marcus.
She looked ever so regal wearing a floral printed satin coat and two piece outfit by Rochas from the Spring 2013 RTW collection. Beyoncé has a busy year planned and starts the (4 month!) Mrs. Carter Show World Tour later this spring.
Check out a behind-the-scenes video from her shoot and more shoes spotted on Beyoncé.

Emily Blunt wore Burberry Prorsum shoes to the 2012 Harper’s Bazaar Woman of the Year Awards in London. These heels are from the Spring 2013 collection featuring metallic snakeskin, skinny ankle-strap and metallic leather wedge.
Although it seems she doesn’t make too many red carpet appearances, Emily’s always one of my favorite celebrities to spot. She looked stunning this Alexander McQueen Resort 2013 orange dress with a crystal-embellished collar. She also carried a McQueen knucklebox black satin clutch and wore her hair in a chignon.

This pre-spring collection is the perfect precursor to the bee-inspired spring collection that we just saw presented last month at Paris Fashion Week.
The classic styles: the horn-shaped heel and skull peep-toe pump, are designed in bright orange, yellow & red. There are also several white leather designs and lucite sculpted heels.
My favorites styles are the simple ankle-strap sandal, snakeskin t-strap platform sandal and the chain-embellished gold ankle-strap sandal.
Don’t you think it’s gigantic for a pre collection?! Any styles grab you?
