Two New Celebrity Footwear Collections on the Horizon

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:00:22 -0700

On the footwear front today, the unstoppable Nicole Richie has released exclusive images of her Spring '10 House of Harlow footwear collection. The shoes, set to debut in January at My-Wardrobe.com, stay true to her bohemian aesthetic featuring chunky platforms and Navajo-inspired detailing. Prices are to be determined.

In addition, rumor has it Victoria Beckham will be adding a footwear collection to her covetable VB clothing collection. "Victoria is tired of promoting other brands. If she wears Christian Louboutin or Hermès people go and buy it. She thought, 'Why can't I do this with my own line?'", said a friend of Victoria Beckham. Of course, hottie husband David Beckham supports her new venture offering to build her a design workshop. Tell me, would you be interested?

Match the Shoe Designer to the Creation!

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Since you all loved my handbag designer quiz so much, I'm gifting you with another fun one. Besides jewelry, shoes are my favorite accessory. Wearing the right pair can instantly transform your ensemble from blah to blam - I've seen it happen. Let's see if you can match the shoe extraordinaire to the creation. I'll start you off with something easy . . .

Question 1 of 9

Who's famous for its red soles?

Fab Tip: Resole Your Brand New Shoes

FabSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Geppetto, the local shoe cobbler, and I have a very special relationship. See, I take my weathered, beat-up, neglected shoes to him and he magically turns them back into the beautiful creations they used to be before I exposed them to life's harsh elements. Such handiwork costs a pretty penny, but it's well worth it. A couple months ago Geppetto let me in on a fabulous little shoe secret . . .

To hear his tip, read more.

He told me to resole my new shoes right after I purchase them before wearing them out. Taking this preventative measure will lessen the wear on my precious footwear tenfold and will make trips to the cobbler less frequent and cheaper in the long run. Also, new rubber soles are much more comfy than the thin bottoms most shoes come with. Geppetto, I will miss seeing you often but my wallet won't.

Sneak Peek! Pour La Victoire, Fall '09

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 04:50:22 -0700

There's a reason Pour La Victoire is one of our favorite shoe brands. Not only does the French-inspired line have a certain cool je ne sais quoi, it's also more affordable compared to other high-end footwear designers. For Fall, Pour La Victoire is gifting us with an overwhelming collection of rad boots, booties, and sandals adorned with badass zippers and studs. Leather and suede are dyed in hues of burnt sienna, moss green, blue, and luscious eggplant. I can't decide which I like more: this rough and tough buckled bootie or this nude platform sandal. I think I've died and gone to shoe heaven . . .

Fab Flash: The (Other) Ronsons Jump on the Designing Bandwagon

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:00:22 -0700

Charlotte Ronson isn't the only one with a designing bone in her family. Her siblings, Samantha and Mark Ronson, will also be testing out their fashion skills with two separate footwear endeavors. Lindsay's lovah created black and gold high-top sneakers for Supra's Indy silhouette - check her out sporting her rad genesis. Mark took it to the next level and teamed up with Gucci to design a mini collection of men's shoes, priced between $500 to $600, called Gucci Ronson. Samatha's sneakers costs $148 and is available at Factory413.com. Mark's limited-edition SKUs will be available exclusively at Gucci's Icon-Temporary pop-up stores in the Fall.

Sneak Peek! Elizabeth & James Footwear, Fall '09

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 06:50:22 -0700

For its second shoe debut, Elizabeth & James conjured up a unique line of footwear for Fall. What's your fancy - stilettos, wedges, rugged boots? Whatever it is, Mary-Kate and Ashley have got you covered. The new pieces are way funkier compared to the brand's freshman collection, and I'm sweet on the diverse selection. Notice the play on colors and textures: purple suede, blue snakeskin, lace, and metallics will surely infuse some attitude into your Fall ensemble. My favorite eye candy has to be this black lace bootie - the gold heel is rad.

Trend Alert: The Graduated Cone

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 07:50:11 -0700

There are many reasons why I'm smitten with Sienna Miller's Isabel Marant Fall 'fit.. Her ruched print dress is ultra rad and I can't take my eyes off those studded booties - hotness. Take note of the artistic graduated cone heel. This frame takes on a more triangular shape compared to regular cone heels. Less cylindrical, more severe, and way more sexy. I like it.
