One of Couture's favorite luxury shoe designers, Stuart Weitzman, has Ms. Beyonce Knowles kicking up her heels, literally. On the I am Sasha Fierce packaging, Ms. Knowles is kicking up one of her well-shod heels exposing the lovely black satin Stuart Weitzman Dorothy shoe. She is looking strong, and I might add fierce, as is the peep toe slingback shoe. Of course Couture is telling you this because we carry that very shoe on Zappos.com. So get your fierce on and slide on into one of the hottest shoe styles perfect for the holiday and beyond, before they are all snapped up by Sasha wannabes.

Is it a bootie or a sandal? It might look like both, but whatever you classify it as, it is one seriously sexy shoe. Giuseppe Zanotti has this sexy rocker version perfect for high-waisted pencil skirt paired with a feminine sheer tie-front blouse and a silk cami underneath.

Chunky heels have the right amount of feminine flair and, because of the thicker heel, all day comfort. These Marc by Marc Jacobs Criss-cross Strap Stacked Heels are perfect for taking you from your day into the evening. Pair them with tights, a short sleeve turtleneck sweater and a skirt for a business casual, or wide-leg jeans and a
funnel neck top for a funky chic look for grabbing drinks with friends after work.

These MICHAEL Michael Kors clog heels are the perfect transition shoe. Not quite a shoe or a bootie, but rather that rare combination of a pump and a slide, providing style and comfort. Pair them with a dark rinse bootcut jeans, an asymmetrical top and slouch shoulder bag.

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT - DELMAN

0 comments

It is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius... Okay not really, but it is the dawning of a new era at the Delman company. The iconic shoe brand, known for their exquisite quilted flats, will be celebrating more than its 90th anniversary next year, it will also be celebrating a top-to-bottom makeover. The brand, owned by Nina Footwear Group, made its first industry shoe print in the early 1900s and grew steadily well into the ‘90s. With the brand having a slowdown in sales and facing a changing customer demographic, new management was put in place, as well as a younger, hipper designer placed at the helm. This formula proved to be a winning mix, giving the brand better positioning and the appropriate energy injection that was needed. The payoff? A more modern design aesthetic resulting in hipper, more youthful styles, a new fan base, and more streamlined business operations. In recent months, the new designs have generated a lot of buzz for the brand, as well as having countless celebrities photographed in their shoes, both on and off the red carpet.

Here at Couture.Zappos.com, we did not need the generated buzz to know the label is a great discovery. From the Mona patent flats (a favorite of actress Brooke Shields) to the Stella slingback pumps, to the multi-hued patent leather chunky heeled sandals, there is something for everyone to love. What are we loving now? The Stella peep toe platform slingback pumps in black patent leather with a silver platform, the Mona patent leather round toe flats in navy, and the Gaiety-S suede boot with buckle detailing in chocolate.

THE RED SOLE DIARIES

1 comment
Jul 9, 2008 by Stephanie R.

Ladies, the shoe baton has been passed, Christian Louboutin is officially the current shoe God usurping the long standing Mr. Manolo. As reported by the New York-based Luxury Institute, Louboutin shoes are the most sought-after shoe brand of 2008. This is not news to the true fashionista because she already knows, covets and collects them without any shame or remorse at the $800-plus sticker price. But to others who feel that a brand must advertise (which Christian does not), must be mentioned in hot shows or movies (think Sex And The City, where he was not mentioned) or be on every ‘It’ starlet (rare) to be a hit, this must come as a huge surprise. What is it that draws so many to this brand? Could it be the draw of the red sole, which is distinguishable from any other shoe whether a woman is striding down a city block, sitting in a restaurant with her legs crossed or getting in and out of her Maybach? Is it the exquisite craftsmanship, the sky high heels or the many varied styles that could make you spend every paycheck on a pair? I’m not sure what it is for other individuals, but for me, my pulse quickens the moment I see the sole. For many that is both the draw and the deterrent, because what happens once the sole is worn out? Well, if you are like I am, you find the cobbler who will replace the sole with a red one, of course.
