Back to....School Shoes

So, I haven't done a shoe post in awhile (yeah, yeah, I know - I haven't done ANY posts in awhile - no backtalk from the peanut gallery) and, quite frankly, I'm in the mood to do a post about shoes.  Glorious shoes. Fun shoes. Some may be work appropriate and some may not. We'll see. There really isn't a theme to this post other than this...I like shoes. And I bet you do too. And its fall and everyone likes to get new shoes in the fall!  So here we go.

Crown Vintage Scout Pump at DSW ($59.95 - despite my ardent desire "shooties" or whatever aren't going away.  And I mean, they're purple (also come in brown and black)!  And I like the straps.

Ivanka Trump Angeline 2 Houndstooth Flats at 6PM ($64.99 - there are a bunch of houndstooth flats out there right now - I think inspired by these Manolos - but I like these Ivankas best.)  

Kate Spade 'telly' Ballet Flat at Nordstroms ($238) - I'm posting these in part so someone will explained to me why there is a bejeweled pretzel on the toe box.  Otherwise YAY GOLD!

Kate Spade Licorice Too Pump in black with gold flecked suede at Nordstroms ($328 - pretty much self-explanatory - I love this take on the black and gold trend - it looks like the evening sky.)

Savatore Ferragamo 'Rory' Pumps at Zappos Couture ($750 - okay, I don't usually feature shoes quite this expensive - but I saw these at the mall the other day and felt that you all should suffer their absence from your life just as much as I am.  So there.)

Bold Plaid Flats from F21 ($16.80 - Tartan is the pattern of the season and you can afford to add just a bit to your wardrobe with these flats!  Who knows about quality (or arch support for that matter) but the truth is, when buying flats in a pattern like this, you really don't expect them to last much more than a season, do you?)

Heeled Brogue Oxfords from Boden ($168 - I've seen a lot of high heeled oxfords since the trend started, but these are some of my favorites. Available in this shade and in a darker brown and black, the chunky heel (very on trend) would also be insanely comfortable I would think.)

LK Bennett Sybila Pump at Nordstroms ($194.98 - more a head's up than anything else - but for those of you who love LK Bennetts, several of the more classic shapes, including this perfect work/interview shoe, are on a pretty good sale right now at Nordies.  FYI)

Respectit Ankle Boots in Burgundy at Steve Madden ($149.96 - regular readers of my blog probably know that booties and ankle boots aren't really my thing - but these almost win me over. I *love* the color of the leather and the gold hardware is kick ass.  I think with a pair of skinny jeans and a blazer for weekends this would be a great fall look.)

Ted Baker London Neevo Pump from Nordstroms ($169.95 - this pump mixes two of the biggest trends for the season - emerald green and suede- but without looking ridiculous (and I like the little dash of gold thrown in.)  It also comes in a lovely purple that I'm sure Kat from the 'rette would love, orange, and red.  Might be worth checking out if youc an handle the 4" heel.)

See by Chloé 'Summer' Pump at Nordstroms ($176.98 - the descriptor is probably right that this pump is more summery, but you just don't see that many pumps in this vibrant yellow color. And I love the brown toe cap as a nice contrast. And the stacked heel would make it much more comfortable.)

Trotters 'Opal' Pump at Nordstroms ($72.98 - saw this while looking for other things and it struck me that it might be a great "nude for me" shoe for women who need a darker shade of nude than many nude shoes are.  So I thought I'd throw it up here.

Printed Pointed Toe Pump from the Express ($47.94 - yes - THAT Express.  I can make no claims to knowledge about quality - but this geo print was so cute I had to feature it.  Again - the heel is pretty high, so it may be only for the brave of foot. What do designers have against a 3" heel?)

Okay folks...that's it.  Literally its just a bunch of shoes I like that I found around the internets.  Add more in the comments if you've found shoes recently that you're really into.  I'm always looking for ideas!  What do you think?  Do any of these appeal to you?
