Heel of Contrast

Looking for funky, fabulous footwear for fall? Well, I got just the thing for you.

Contrast heel shoes.

They're basically shoes with a heel that has an unexpected color, pattern, finish or embellishment such as studs.

A neutral tone shoe is usually the best way to play off this kind of heel because it emphasizes the contrast and results in an even bigger, fiercer surprise.

Here are a few gorgeous contrast heel shoes that may help to satisfy your footwear cravings.

Strap 'em on

I'd like you all to meet my newest shoe style crush: the multiple strap shoe.

I've been seeing this style for quite a while now on various fashion websites and blogs and my love for them is only growing stronger.

Multiple straps come on all sorts of shoes so there's bound to be a pair to suit your style whether it be classic, sweet, sexy or funky.
The style is feminine with just the right amount of cute so, depending on the shoe of course, they can be appropriate for both work and play.

My most recent sightings of this style were on these three stylish girls on Chictopia.

Like it or not? - Net Heel Boots

These boots give a different spin to the ubiquitous gladiator shoe trend and I must say, I quite like them. They'll certainly bring the same amount of edginess to an outfit as gladiators do and I'm sure you fashion mavens would have a fun time with these.


With Mocha Net Heel Boots

I could definitely see one of the Olsens or Gwyneth Paltrow (Hollywood's newest shoe aficionado) rocking a pair, probably with a higher heel though.

They come in black and tan and I personally prefer the black ones because they're bolder and if you're gonna wear these shoes, why not be as bold as possible?



What about you? Like 'em or not?


P.S I added a poll in the sidebar asking about your biggest fashion vice. I always seem to gravitate towards jackets and blazers even though I don't really need them where I live. I'd like to know what fashion item you just can't seem to get enough of.

Shoe in Bloom

Isn't this just the most adorable shoe you've ever seen?


Well maybe not everyone would think so, but I think it's just the cutest. If this shoe doesn't scream spring, I don't know what does. With it's pretty pink floral pattern, it would be an uplifting addition to your shoe collection. What's even better is that they're only $21.99. No typo, you read correctly.

Exposed!

Asos.com has become one of my favourite online stores to find interesting pieces for low prices. Being the shameless bargain hunter than I am, I usually rummage through the Clearance section and usually find some nice stuff.

Today I came across these funky pewter shoes with exposed zip detail and perspex heels. Now I'm a size 11, so these, as is usually the case, don't come in my size. They stock up to a UK size 8 (US size 10) and are on sale now for $26.00.
