These fabulous pumps from Naughty Monkey will make you feel like you’re strolling leisurely down Boulevard Saint-Michel whilst on your way to bask on a café terrace. Available in three very striking color combinations; red, black, and olive. Although the red is definitely beautiful, I prefer the olive!

The Nine West shoe ‘Heathers’ first made its appearance last Spring, but has just been released in three new colors to take you into Fall – bronze, gold, and white patent.
Yellow became the “It” color this summer, and these heels are TDF in the bright yellow – It is a super sexy burst of fun! The bronze, in contrast, takes this shoe from flirty & fun to just downright SEXY, it is simply a “Must have” for late summer evenings! $76.46 @ endless or $93 @ zappos.

Here is an interesting pair of heel strap sandals to take you into the Fall. The ‘Ivy’ strappy pseudo-slide by Glory Chen is just downright interesting, no matter how you look at them! From the multi color stripe wooden cone heels to the adorable button detailing, they are simply a lovely departure from the ordinary. $288 @ edgeofurge.

Happy 4th of July. I know it’s a little to warm to be thinking about Fall booties, but these are so beautiful I just cannot help myself. Available in seven luscious colors! The heel height on these is a towering 4.7 inches, with a wedge height on 1 inch. $495 @ yoox.

The ‘Chiwawa‘ from Chie Mihara makes me think of eating yummy orange cream-sicles on warm sunny days. Also, I just adore how they’ve combined the T-strap Mary Jane with the elasticized sling back for a one of a kind look. It gives us a wonderful one-two visual punch – and makes the Chiwawa a definite knock out! Additionally the red heel tap is TDF. $330 @ habitatshoes.

The ‘Marie‘ from J. Shoes is a wonderful Spring Tie Top Oxford style shoe that will wear well with anything from sheath dress to jeans. I like the classic look in the lighter Spring colors, the 3 1/4 webbed heel is a good cross between high heel & wedge, and is eye catching as well. Pictured above in ‘Fondant’, it is also available in black. $166.95 @ zappos.
