In this Pre-Fall 2012 collection, designer Charlotte Olympia Dellal was inspired by the Russian culture featuring Matryoshka doll faces, lots of wooden embellishment, bright colors and names such as Anastasia & Irina.

There’s also a special design, the Luella pump which is named after Lulu Guinness featuring a pair of luscious lips. Look for this style on Charlotte Olympia’s web site this month.

My favorite styles are the Flora, Kiss Me Dolores and the floral printed Ava pump. Check out more pre-fall designs at Vogue UK.

Last week we saw two new arrivals from Charlotte Olympia’s debut bridal collection and two more adorable designs have become available.

Bluefly just received one of my favorite minimalistic sandals this season, it’s was hard to fnd and it’s on discount!

We seen this cuffed sandal by Casadei with crystal embellishment and now it’s also available in glitter.

Katharine McPhee wore Charlotte Olympia Feather platform sandals to NBC’s Upfront Presentation in NYC. These heels are from the Spring 2012 collection featuring feathers and a metallic gold platform. You can find a similar style online, the She Sells Sea Shells at Neiman Marcus and the Irina sandal at Nordstrom. Katharine looks beautiful in this Dolce & Gabbana floral mini dress and her wavy hair made the look for me. Check out more shoes spotted on Katharine.

I’ve been wanting to feature the Kirkwood for Peter Pilotto shoes however they sell out so quickly! Another style has just appeared on FarFetch featuring a green PVC column heel.

MyTheresa has the best selection of Brian Atwood’s Maniac pump. I’ve featured the pink, teal, yellow and now this fun bubblegum shade is available.

Two designs from Charlotte Olympia’s first bridal collection are now on Net-A-Porter and they all come with cute blue stockings.

There are also many new Giuseppe Zanotti Fall 2012 styles that have just arrived which are available for pre-order at Saks Fifth Avenue (not pictured below).

A couple weeks ago I posted my Top 10 Fall 2012 Shoes and now here are trends we will see this fall:

Ankle takes center stage
This season the simplistic sandal has the spotlight but Fall 2012 is all about the ankle. Dare I say, ankle party, anyone? Tulle, crystals, fur (see blue Zanotti in first picture), ribbon, rope – we will see it all, around the ankle.

Color trends
Check out the Fall 2012 Pantone Fashion Color Report. Coral evolved into this beautiful tangerine and mint moved into a darker marine tone.

Charlotte-Olympia-Daryl-Platform-Pump

Charlotte Olympia Daryl platform pump | 5.5″ heel and 2″ platform | buy online at MyTheresa for $1175

Olympia’s Spring 2012 collection was inspired by sirens and 1950′s Miami beach glamour. This coral suede Daryl pump features a stitched scalloped shell shaped peep-toe with a transparent strap in the center, mirrored gold island platform and almond toe.  This style runs true to size. There are 3 more color available online at Charlotte Olympia.

I wanted to share my bookmarked list of shoes I want this season, aka right now! Some of them are unfortunately already sold out in my size online however I hope I get to purchase the majority of these this spring.

I also love this Alejandro Ingelmo for Chris Benz wedge I recently saw in Glamour but I haven’t seen it anywhere online yet. What are your must-have purchases this season?

Charlotte Olympia Meredith platform wedge | 6″ heel & 2″ platform | available online at MyTheresa for $1,105  - also available in a black & white striped version (couple sizes left) at LuisaViaRoma

These heels are from Olympia’s adorable Spring 2012 ‘Siren’ collection featuring emerald and cream leaf printed canvas, flamingo pink ankle strap and gathered bow detail on the front.

This season, Charlotte was inspired by “Miami in the movies” and Fifties beach glamour. The wedges also feature the signature gold spider web logo and this season they also include a sticky Polaroid picture of the shoes (so you can find it easily in your closet!).
