The Prada Spring 2012 Flame Sandals Have Now Rocketed Into Bergdorf Goodman

Erika — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:05:04 +0000

The Prada flame sandals, only one of Style.com’s top 10 most wanted shoes of Spring 2012, are now ready to set your spring/summer wardrobe on FIRE.

Having been one of the most talked about shoes since they debuted on the Prada Spring 2012 runway in September, these first versions of the Prada flame sandals have now hit retail and are now available for purchase at Bergdorf Goodman:

Prada flame mule slide sandal, $990.00

Prada jewel toe flame sandal, $1,450.00

These are one of the shoes that split us here at YNS. Many of you had the hots for their 50s retro Cadillac feel but there were also those of you who thought they were more “Hot Wheels”.

The ones above are the ones that are more toy car-like for me but there are so many variations of the Prada flame sandals. Below are some of my favorite. I have to say that I had a hard time narrowing it down to these! :

They kind of look like superhero shoes with their respective team colors when you look at the Prada flame shoes one after the other.

Just like their fiery style, the prices on these retro rocket boosters are also as through the roof. They’re priced in the range of a thousand dollars but what else can we expect from designer shoes?

If you think no other shoe can heat up your spring/summer like the Prada flame sandals, shop for your pair at Bergdorf Goodman.

6 Shades of Sweet: The ‘Candee’ Heel from Betsey Johnson

Andrea — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:08:47 +0000

When I spotted the ‘Canddee’ from Betsey Johnson at Zappos today I knew that our followers would appreciate her. She features a cute bow detail on the toe with a T strap pump design and sexy open toe. I love that the ‘Canddee’ comes in 6 fun color options too. I love the leopard option with black bow, but the pink multi would look really pretty paired with black tights. The fact that these heels ring in under $100 makes them even sweeter in my book.

I’d love to pair ‘Canddee’ with black tights and a voluminous dress for a sweet but sassy look. How would you style her? Take a look at all 6 shades of the ‘Candee’ and tell us which pair you’d rock.

Betsey Johnson ‘Canddee’ in Leopard USD99.95

Hit or Miss? The ‘Onceover’ Sandal from Stuart Weitzman

Andrea — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:32:41 +0000

I know that snake skin/print is really popular right now, but it’s a small challenge to pull it off without looking cheap or gaudy. Today I spotted the ‘Onceover’ from Stuart Weitzman at Zappos and I can’t decide if I love or hate it. I know that it’s an expensive and quality heel, but it has a slightly cheap feel that I can’t get over. Perhaps if I could get them in my hands and on my feet I’d like them more, but for now I’m indecisive.

The ‘Onceover’ comes in two shades, one a light multi print and the other in a dark denim shade. Between the two the lighter pair is my favorite. What do you think? Check out the ‘Onceover’ and tell us if you think they’re a hit or a miss.

Roselle — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:00:24 +0000

It’s no secret that a pair of nude heels are a girl’s best friend. Nude pumps in particular, are not only universally appealing, but flattering to wear as well. If you don’t have a pair of nude pumps in your closet, now is the time to get one; most especially since spring is coming up.

Of course, you don’t really need to wait for the weather to warm up to wear nude shoes. You can wear them all year round if you like! There is however, another reason why we think now is the best time to grab a fresh pair – ShoeDazzle has a lot of great looking nude heels this February, and they’re all priced at an affordable USD39.95!

2 Styles 4 Vivid Color Combos: Check Out These Summery Diba Wedges

Andrea — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:03:45 +0000

While browsing some of the new additions at Heels today I came across a couple of styles from Diba that I knew many of our followers would appreciate. Bright color is a huge trend for spring and these heels are definitely bright. I could see either of them paired with distressed denim and a crisp colorful T, or even a brightly colored solid dress.

Another factor that drew me to these lovely eye catching heels is the fact that each rings in under $75. I love trying new trends for less than $100 (less than $50 is ideal) so I can’t wait to snag one of these hot shoes to spice up my spring wardrobe. The ‘Car Laa’ and the ‘Dig It’ have a Missoni vibe that I really like. Check out each color of both styles and tell us which pair is you favorite.

Diba ‘Car Laa’ in Madarine Fabric USD74.99

Beyonce Debuts Her Post-Baby Body and One of the Bollywood-Inspired Christian Louboutin Spring/Summer 2012 Pumps

Erika — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:01:34 +0000

The first photos of Beyonce after giving birth to baby Blue Ivy last month are out and the new mama looks as bootylicious as ever:

Beyonce debuted her post-baby body in this body-hugging yet figure-flattering Alice by Temperley ruched red dress. Along with it, she also debuted these Bollywood-style Christian Louboutin Devidas platform pumps from the CL Spring/Summer 2012 collection which features many other Indian-inspired shoe styles:

Christian Louboutin Devidas embroidered suede and strass platform pumps

Here are the other Christian Louboutin Spring/Summer 2012 shoes — with their mirrors, sequins and swirly metallic thread embroidery, are unmistakably inspired by Bollywood glamour and Indian elements:

Christian Louboutin Mendoza embroidered suede platform pumps

Christian Louboutin Bollywoody embroidered suede and strass peep toe platform pumps in pink suede and aqua suede

As of writing, we only know the price on the Christian Louboutin Bollywoody pumps in aqua suede and it’s a staggering $2,795.00. So imagine how much more the Devidas and the Mendoza styles would cost considering that they’re closed toe instead of peep toe.

The Christian Louboutin Bollywoody embroidered suede and strass pumps in aqua suede are available at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. Expect the rest of the Bollywood-inspired Christian Louboutin shoes to drop at these retailers very soon!

3 Shades of Fun: The ‘Beserk’ from Two Lips

Andrea — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:33:50 +0000

Spring is right around the corner so there’s no longer any shame in searching for bright and fun sandals to spruce up our spring and summer wardrobes. Today I came across the ‘Beserk’ from Two Lips at Zappos and I was so pleased with the three light and bright color options available. Not only does this wedge sandal feature plenty of criss-crossing strap details, it comes in coral, turquoise, and light brown.

I could definitely see any of these paired with a floral print skirt or sundress and a denim jacket for a classic springtime look. They could also work with flared jeans and a peasant top for a relaxed boho feel. I think I’d go for the coral option, but all three are great in my opinion. What do you think? Which pair would you wear this spring?

Two Lips ‘Beserk’ in Turquoise USD92.95

Two Lips ‘Beserk’ in Coral USD92.95

Are These Viktor & Rolf (Extremely Large) Bow Embellished Sandals Too Much?

Andrea — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:59:00 +0000

When I spotted these sandals from Viktor & Rolf at ShopBop I had to get the reactions of our loyal shoe worshipers. I suspect that these extreme bow sandals would make The Man Repeller herself swoon. I kind of love them, but can’t decide if they’re wearable enough to justify the purchase. There are many times that I miss living in a huge city that fosters over the top dressing. This is definitely one of those times. Check them out.

Viktor & Rolf High Heel Bow Sandal in Blue Metallic USD860

What do you think? I’m slowly becoming obsessed with them. If only they were Colorado appropriate. (sigh) Nonetheless, our fellow shoe lovers in more metropolitan locations could definitely pull these off. Would you go for the black or blue metallic color option? More importantly Do you think they’re amazing or just a little too much?

How to Subtly Clue In Your Special Someone that You Want to Get Shoes for Valentine’s Day

Erika — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 12:09:00 +0000

If only being in a relationship also came with the power to read each other’s minds. We’re probably still light years away from that point in evolution but if all you want to do is to subtly let your special someone know that you want sexy new shoes for Valentine’s Day, then Heels‘ “clue ‘em in” promotion has already got you covered.

When you spot a shoe you like at Heels, look for that little pink heart right under the “add to wishlist” button on that shoe’s product page. That’s the “clue ‘em in” heart that’ll bring up this clue card when you click on it:

Fill it up with your sweetie’s name and email and sign it with your own name and email and Heels will do the rest of the cluing in job.

This Heels ”clue ‘em in” service is a more aggressive yet still subtle way of letting your cute but clueless S.O. know what you want. It’s only available until February 14, 2012 but we wish they’d keep it around even after Valentine’s because it’s such a nifty little device.

Use it while you can on sexy new shoes like these ones below! :

Lovely People Lennon rosette-embellished ankle strap satin pump, $119.99
Bebe Oasis rhinestone lattice cutout peep toe pump, $114.99
Paris Hilton Selene chiffon ankle bow chiffon sandal, $94.99

Yves Saint Laurent’s Shield-Carrying Loafer Pumps – RAD or BAD?

Erika — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 00:01:15 +0000

This new Yves Saint Laurent loafer pump from the Spring 2012 collection may have its own shield but I feel like the gold metal plate makes it more fragile rather than protect it. Sure, the metal plate makes this pump stand out and ooh, it’s shiny, but I’d be worried sick about scuffing, scratching and worse, denting it the whole time this shoe is on my feet!

Most especially that these Yves Saint Laurent loafer pumps retail for $1,695, even the tiniest dent on the metal plate would feel as big as the dent these shoes will make on your bank account.

Check out the much talked-about and in the running for the title of Spring 2012′s “It” shoe, the Yves Saint Laurent shield loafer pumps. Do you find these shoes RAD or BAD? :

Yves Saint Laurent metal-plated loafer pumps in black suede, $1,695.00

They also come in this pretty and even more dirt-attracting pink color:

A few sizes of these shoes are available now at Neiman Marcus where you get a free Vosges toffee and blank greeting card with your purchase. You can also pre-order these at Saks Fifth Avenue and at Nordstrom.
