Apparently having a shoe collection is the new “IT” thing to do; it feels like every day we report that some celebrity or reality star wants an in with the fashion industry.  One such celebrity is Halle Berry, who is quickly becoming a woman of all trades. The actress slash Revlon spokeswoman teamed up with popular German retailer Deichmann Shoes to create her own line:  ’5th Avenue by Halle Berry’ collection.
Fitting for women her age (we mean that in the kindest way possible), the collection features fairly low heels and wedges, mixing comfort and style for the modern mom. Boasting 40 limited edition shoes, Berry is proud of the new baby in her life, her shoe line. In discussing her new endeavor she said,
“Shoes are a statement. They can be very sexy; they can say something about where you are in the day; they can say what your mood is; they give you a chance to accessorize. And I’m a girl that loves to change my shoes all the time. It’s an expression of who you are really. I’m a girl if I find a shoe that I really like I like to get them in all colours. I’m big on that.”
With the reasonable starting price of £29.99, budget savvy mothers are eagerly awaiting the UK launch in March.

What do you get when you mix quirky British style with eco-friendly Brazilian shoes? Possibly the most interesting and unique collaboration in footwear history!
“The Queen of Punk Fashion”, Vivienne Westwood, has for decades been known for making “punk” mainstream. She has come a long way from being known as the designer who famously create killer shoes that caused supermodel Naomi Campbell to stumble on the runway almost two decades ago. You may know Westwood as the over-the-top couture designer of Carrie Bradshaw’s wedding gown in Sex & The City but now she’s working with shoe manufacturer, Melissa, to design funky, yet wearable shoes.
Melissa’s shoes are cruelty-free and are all made from synthetic materials like plastic and nylon, meaning there is no guilt accompanying wearing leather or suede. Celebrities like Melissa Auf der Mar go crazy for Melissa’s eco-friendly footwear (you should have seen her when I styled her in them!).
This season, the “Queen of Punk Fashion” Â joins forces with eco-chic Melissa’s shoes to create retro styles, similar to what strutted down the runways of designers like Prada, but more wearable and affordable.
No ones stumbling down the runway or the sidewalk in these killer heels!

“The biggest stars of film and television descended upon the Beverly Hilton on Jan. 15 for Hollywood’s “biggest party” and for the announcement of this year’s 69th annual Golden Globes” (Hollywood Reporter). Television and film icons dripping in jewels, gowns, and tuxes proudly walked the red carpet as cameras flashed and fans gawked in awe from their living rooms.
Like many formal award ceremonies, the floor-length gowns often hide our favorite part: the shoes. Those who showed us some leg, provided us a peek at their sky-high stilettos — black, tan, metallic, black, some more tan, then a hint of metallic. Unlike the MTV awards or the Grammys, most played it cool with sopistocated simple pumps, none adventuring outside of the neutral palette. All in all, a ho-hum year for shoes, leaving us hoping for more.

For those who may not know, Hank Moody is the main character of the show Californication and is the smoothest ladies man currently on television.  So what’s Hanks story?
Occupation: Writer
Signature look: Black T Shirt and dark denim jeans paired with a sport jacket (Dressed Up) up or a leather jacket (Casual) and of course his signature sunglasses and Blundstone boots.
The Hank Moody look is easily achievable with the help of Blundstone, but whether or not it’ll improve your robot-like approach to women is whole other story.

Not only does Kim Kardashian run the reality TV world, but also has her hand in on online shoe retailer ShoeDazzle. In honor of her love of shoes and the letter K, Kim decided to pay tribute to Kate Middleton. Why not? They both are tabloid icons, got married to famous men last year, and their names start with the letter K — it was only right.
Turning Middleton’s 30th birthday into a chance to exploit more money out of fans, Kim “designed” a shoe named ‘The Duchess’ in honor of Middleton, “because every woman should feel like a princess every day”. Available on ShoeDazzle for £39.95, the black quilted faux-leather high heel  features “classic quilting and [a] graceful silhouette channel[ing] the Duchess’s classic style.”
You can exaggerate it all you want Kim, but that shoe is still a plain black pump and is still NOT worth that price…no matter whose name you attach to it. Nice try though.

 Many mothers and health experts ask, “how young is too young to wear high heels?”, while others like Katie Holmes Cruise find it appropriate. In a day and age where children grow up too quickly, the great debate over kid’s high heels heats up. Women wear high heels for the form enhancing features but what reason do little girls have?
Holmes defends her decision saying, “like every little girl, she loves my high heels. They are actually ballroom dancing shoes for kids. I found them for her and she loves them”. Not only does she love them but they make great press for a celebrity family — by age 5 Suri is already a style icon.
Moderation is key in this debate, which Holmes understands by allowing her daughter to wear them “on special occasions”… for god sakes she’s not wearing them to the park!
You decide: Cute or Creepy?

This is a classic case of ‘When Bad Shoes Happen to Good People’ and the celebrities are the culprits.
No matter how much money you have, bad fashion can still plague you. Even the fashion icon, Sarah Jessica Parker has a few misses here and there! It’s no surprise that Heidi Montag made this list, neither is it a shocker that Lady Gaga gets the fashion police called on her. Some celebrities go out of their way to be a fashion don’t, while others just have drunk stylists.
This is a call to action for shoe lovers everywhere to stop this bad shoe epidemic. We must end our fear of bad shoes and stand up to the unfashionable! Don’t let bad shoes happen to good people!

Okay, you caught me! I am a reality tv junkie, sickly obsessed with “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”. In fact, I spent most of my Christmas watching a marathon in which I fell for Adrienne Maloof’s recently launched shoe collection (see something positive does come out of it!).
Reality star, mother of three, business woman, and loving wife –many wonder how Adrienne Maloof found time to launch a footwear collection. “Renowned for her diplomatic sense of business, Adrienne received her first lessons in business from her father, entrepreneur George J. Maloof, Sr. The Maloof family philosophy — working hard, giving back, and taking care of employees.” This business sense is what drives Maloof to the utmost success in all her endeavors, including design.
 The Adrienne Maloof shoe line for Charles Jourdan 2011 debuted in the beginning of December, first launching at Macys. Pulling directly from her personal (excessively huge) wardrobe, Maloof and the Jourdan team pieced together the bits and baubles of the perfect footwear collection. Partnering with charity organization Step Up, Maloof held a charity fashion show first debuting her collection on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”. Today, the collection is available at Macy’s, Lord & Taylor, Belk, specialty boutiques, Maloof’s website, and Isaay.  Â
“May you find inspiration in the big picture, but may you find love in the details.”
