Most of the time people accept history as it is written in books, no questions and no doubts; but not in the case of Martha Washington, the very first First Lady of the United States. She has always been described as a boring, frumpy, and fat lady; however, all that are about to change. The sequined purple silk high heels that she wore on her wedding to George Washington, have another story to tell. During her time, those shoes were the height of fashion during her time. The said shoes will be displayed for the first time at Mount Vernon, Virginia.

Wedge sandals are still pretty much the “in” thing these days. Well, I don’t think they will ever go out of style. Fendi’s High Ombre Logo Wedge is something special if you need new wedge anytime soon. That’s if you have a taste for silvery footwear because this piece is like silverwork at its best.

Emotional people wear their hearts on their sleeves, we all know about this trivia. But how about people wearing their hearts on their feet? I don’t think so. Well, anyone who fancies and buys this Melissa Lady Dragon Slingback Sandal might be the first.

Gladiator sandals are still in right? Well, I wanted to buy one for myself about two weeks ago. I found a pair with a design that I liked but, unfortunately, it was too big for my feet and a smaller size was not available. I just went home feeling frustrated. Now, seeing this Back-Zip Gladiator Sandal by Dolce & Gabbana makes me want to have one again! If I just had the money I’d buy this one instead. It has very cute gladiator-style contoured bands that encircle vamp and foot. Once put on, it will make your feet look sexy! There are rounded silver metal stud embellishments that take away the severity of the textural grained leather.

Right now I have a particular liking for flats. That’s a result of the distance that I have to walk everyday. With the tight budget that I’m in right now I only want to buy are sale items. Since my preference is for flats I’d love to have this Loeffler Randall Patent Cut-Out Peep Toe Flat that’s on sale right now. From $425 this item is now only priced at $169. Aside from the price, another thing that I love about this footwear is its cheery look. Well, you might say, it is color yellow, what can you expect?

Lately, I’ve been using plain and flat footwear. It is what’s practical for me at the moment since I walk some distance before I can get a ride to work. But that doesn’t mean I’ll be wearing flats forever. The time will come soon when I’ll be wearing shoes not for the sake of practicality but for fashion. Christain Lacroix is one fashionable pair that I’d sure want to have, someday. Alright, reality check, I can just have it in my dreams. But, don’t you think it looks so glamorous? Anyone wearing it would be a head turner that’s for sure! The T-strap design and the dragonfly decorated with stunning crystals at the vamp is one of the primary highlights of this pair. You can see the crystals are carefully arranged to follow every line of the dragonfly.

Gwen Stefani’s clothing L.A.M.B. is very successful because of the funky items that appeal to modern and trendy people. L.A.M.B. footwear is a must-have for women who want to stand tall and above the rest. The Chiba Lace-Up Pump is an example of this footwear line. Two-tone textural pebble-grained and smooth leather is what this pump is made of. It’s an open-toe and cut-out over vamp design that will make your feet breathe. The pair comes with cotton laces with beaded tips thread through gunmetal grommets, so you can secure the pump on your feet. Even if you make excessive movements with your feet, there’s no fear about this getting thrown off.

I’m pretty sure that next season we’d be sighting plenty of people wearing boots again. I love boots however, I don’t own one. It’s not practical for me and I just can’t think of any occasion where I could wear one. If you are a boot lover and are looking for one that you can use this fall, here’s a suggestion. I love the look of Jean Paul Gaultier’s Contrasting Leather Tall Boot, maybe you would too. The combined brown and dark brown colors make it suitable for almost any outfit. It looks so good that the $1,185 you spend will be all worth it. It’s perfectly crafted with patchwork of pebble-grained and smooth leather and zigzag topstitching at the seams gives it a sophisticated look.

Here’s a sandal that looks good. This Reaction by Kenneth Cole is a sexy-looking sandal. With gray patent ombre color, this will complement almost any outfit you wear. I think what makes this sexy is the sling-back design partnered with the peep-toe.
From my point of view, Kenneth Cole’s Reaction would be perfect whether you wear slacks or skirt. The height of the heels is just right for walking even for some length or distance. Your balance is assured with this sandal; just take a look at the heels, neither too pointy nor too high.

OMG! 2 MILLION DOLLAR SHOES?!!
How extreme can you get?
Well, pretty extreme! Stuartz Weitzman together with jeweler Le Vian is taking things to the max. Before the $2M-dollar shoes, the world’s most expensive shoes were worth $1 million. How is it that this new pair of shoes cost that much? It is made up of genuine jewels, diamonds and tanzanite! Made of silver leather, the pair of shoes is decorated with over 185 carats of tanzanite and 28 carats of diamonds! It would be hard to miss the blue gems embellished along the straps and just on its sides are the real-sparkly diamonds! There’s even one 16-carat tanzanite dangling right in front of the shoe.

High heels make a woman's legs look taller, leaner and sexier ... Did you know that?
A high heel sandal from Yves Saint Laurent takes things to totally different level all together!
I came across a 105mm sandal from the new YSL collection that's really to die for!
The sandal is made of black patent leather and is accessorized with cute multicolor metallic stars! How cool is that!?
It's high and comfy. It's stringy and sexy. It's starry and chic! What else could a woman want?
I'm guessing it won't be cheap, but i know it's going to be worth every penny!
What do you think of this new YSL sandal?

How’d you feel about the color yellow? I know it’s the color of summer, but wouldn’t be it too much if even your shoes are of a bedazzling color yellow? Well, I’m sure you wouldn’t mind if it’s something like this Dior Folie Strass Pumps. Amazingly hot! No girl can resist this charming footwear. It’d be just so easy to find the outfit that will match these Dior Folie Strass Pumps. I think Christian Dior outdid itself again with this exquisitely-designed piece, especially with its Swarovski studded heels. If my estimate is right, the cut-out heels is about four or five inches and all of that are covered in Swarovski!
