There's a second, quieter story on the runways this week, one that's hard to fully absorb as each collection quickly whizzes by. We're talking about shoes here, and buyers beware: next season's batch is filled with knockouts sure to test your budgetary willpower.
From the sweetly printed pumps with sleek metal heels at Kate Spade New York to the point d'esprit peep-toe booties at Jason Wu, these are the shoes that are already topping our wish list for Spring 2013 — up close and personal, straight from New York's recent runways. And like any good shopping list, ours is ever-growing, so we'll be adding more just as soon as they march in.
New York Fashion Week Spring 2013 has come to a close, but before we move on to London, Milan, and Paris, let's look back on all the fabulous front-row celebrity styles that took place over the last week. Everyone from Olivia Palermo to Solange Knowles to Kate Bosworth to Diane Kruger and many more made fashionable appearances, so step inside to draw major style inspiration for your equally stylish life.
Emma Stone stopped and posed for the cameras on her way into the Calvin Klein Spring 2013 show at New York Fashion Week. For the occasion, the actress chose a red sleeveless shift dress with a nude clutch, but it was her black and yellow Roger Vivier sandals ($1,196) that clearly demanded the most attention. We love the mix of varying colors — it made for a fun and fabulous ensemble. Re-create Emma's bold look by pairing this red shift dress by Ya-Ya ($59) with her exact sandals and a nude clutch.
On her way into the Calvin Klein Spring 2013 show at New York Fashion Week, Diane Kruger exposed her svelte midriff in a white long-sleeved crop top. A black leather high-waist skirt kept the look fashion forward rather than risque, while black python pumps and a white crossbody bag coordinated with her black and white color scheme perfectly. If you dare to bare your tummy, mimic Diane's chic ensemble by pairing a crop top with a high-waist leather skirt, then finish off with matching accessories. To get started, shop similar pieces below.
Some may be wary of melding black and yellow for fear of looking like a bumblebee, but Nicky Hilton's New York Fashion Week look made a serious case for the dynamic color combo. Nicky worked a full Diane von Furstenberg ensemble — black leather shorts ($475), a printed tie-neck blouse, and a colorblock bag — with embellished ankle-strap Brian Atwood pumps ($1,473) while attending shows at Lincoln Center. The blond beauty accessorized her eye-catching ensemble with an emerald cocktail ring and glistening diamond studs. Score Nicky's exact edgy bottoms and elegant pumps to work with a printed blouse for a glamorous night out with the girls.
That's a wrap — with final shows from Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein yesterday, the style set is relocating to Fashion Week across the pond. But before we turn our attention to the action in London, we're bidding NYFW goodbye with a look back at this week's awe-inspiring street style. We've been treated to a week full of unending styling fodder, with nods to both the whimsical and the on-trend from the biannual fashion frenzy at NYFW. In effect, these showgoers, models, and fashion insiders have proven that the style off the runway is a show unto itself. So, without further ado, we present over 400 snaps with no shortage of cool-girl booties, high-wattage hues, and statement prints. Click on to get inspired with our favorites and make sure to check out our breakdown of the biggest street-style trends.

New York Fashion Week Spring 2013 has shown a great amount of trends to mull over — sporty references, sheer layering, powerful prints, bold stripes, and leather are just some of the trends we spotted on the runways of American designers like Jason Wu, Michael Kors, and Proenza Schouler. Additionally, there were a plethora of chic black and white color combinations, '90s-inspired oversize silhouettes, and metallic sheens (we all love a little shine, right?). See our complete rundown of the top 10 New York Fashion Week trends — right here, right now.
Olivia Palermo was one of the lucky stars that snagged a front-row seat at Marchesa's Spring 2013 show at New York Fashion Week. For the special occasion, the socialite wore a beige tee, khaki blazer, which she left open and cinched with a nude belt, and a black tulip-style maxi skirt. For accessories, Olivia carried a python Hermes clutch and Tibi snakeskin ankle-strap sandals. While she was way less dressy than most of the famous attendees, she still looked fabulous in her layered look. Re-create Olivia's latest New York Fashion Week style by shopping the widget below.
It model Karlie Kloss has been strutting her stuff in the most fabulous looks on the New York Fashion Week Spring 2013 catwalks, but we're also digging her off-duty outfit as she exited the tents: a white peplum top, dark-wash skinny jeans, and black strappy sandals. On her arm she carried not one but two bags: this Michael Michael Kors tan satchel ($398) and this Feed tote ($130). Karlie's look is super chic and simple to re-create — just pair your peplum top with skinny jeans, statement shoes, and a fabulous bag. Shop similar pieces below, including Karlie's exact bag, to get her latest look.
