| You might have noticed that the catwalks were awash with leopard print for Fall –Winter 2010. Christian Louboutin, Balmain, Roberto Cavalli and Jimmy Choo all presented their updates on this classic print. Now the leopard print is everywhere from ballet flats to fur boots. In fact, some fashion experts say that animal prints have become virtually timeless, especially in accessories such as shoes. Some even judge them just like basic black shoes, something that is timeless and matches nearly everything. |
 |
| Leopard print shoes for women seamlessly shifted from trendy to iconic. However there is a huge risk that makes it tacky instead of glamorous. The trick to wearing leopard print shoes effectively is to know your limits. To start with, you might wear only one printed item, for example an animal-print belt, scarf, handbag or shoes. |
 |
| Another option is to wear two different animal prints at the same time, like a lovely pair of leopard print shoes with a zebra-striped handbag. But this seems far more difficult to do without looking excessive. |
 |
| The little black or red dress goes perfectly with the classic leopard print pumps. Besides, the type of fabric should complement the finish of your leopard print shoes. And remember to keep accessories to a minimum. Wear classic pieces in platinum or white gold. |
 |
| As you can see the majority of celebrities own at least one pair of animal print shoes as wearing them women look more confident, vivid and seductive. Worn in the right way, leopard print can ooze luxury and add instant sex appeal. |
 |
| Kate Hudson, Christina Aguilera, Kate Moss, Kim Kardashian, Paloma Faith and many other famous singers and catresses have been showing us how it’s done by brightening a plain outfit with a splash of print on their shoes. From trendy to classy, leopard print shoes have become an icon for femininity in fashion. |

| All fashion designers have already presented their collections for Fall – Winter 2010/11. So it is high time to tally up everything we have seen on a catwalk. Below are the most popular and interesting shoe trend for a season to come. |
| Fur boots. Winters are getting colder over the globe recently, so the trend looks quite attractive and practical. Besides, if you wear fur boots by Chanel or Lanvin you will feel not only warmth and comfort but looks of admiration too. |
 |
| Laced-up boots. Laces are getting very popular. Such footwear is very comfy and looks great, but taking it off can be a problem. The best laced-up boots were presented by Fendi, Givenchy and Erdem. |
 |
| Shoes with buckles. It is a surprise to see shoes with buckles on a catwalk. Spring and summer footwear also featured this detail. Now the trend is gaining power and popularity and the slogan for the seasons to come is ‘the more buckles, the better’. Though they might bring the same problem as laces, I personally do not see it as a problem. Instead, the greatest advantage of buckles is that they look extravagant and interesting and provide great support and fixation for the foot. |
 |
| Chunky heels. Although stilettos look glamorous chunky heels are much more comfortable. And plenty of women prefer being safe and comfy rather than sexy and scared of falling down. Besides, nobody says that wearing chunky heels you will not look sexy either. Just try the boots featuring chunky heels by Michael Kors, Versace or Ivatore Ferragamo and you will obviously love them. |
 |
| Unusual combination of colors. Fall is a rather gloomy season, so all you need is to brighten it up. To brighten up our footwear designers have chosen the technique of combining colors. Yellow goes together with brown, red is mixed with pink. More variables are possible. |

| We all know that collections of shoes by Manolo Blahnik are always very exciting and great! And a new collection presented for Fall – Winter 2010/11 is not an exception. The presentation took place in Maria Luisa shop. The shoes are fab and urbane. The styles are refreshing, especially because the season will be superfluity with platforms and adored with many elements. |
  |
| What could we expect from one of the highly beloved fashion designers of all fashion lovers? Only pleasant surprises. The new collection is super gentle and feminine. The first detail that drives attention is an excellent choice of colors: we can see luxurious and noble hues of grey, beige, brown and a sensuous hue of pink. These natural colors seem to be on the peak of popularity the season to come. Vivid colors as well as classic black resulted on the background only. |
  |
| The second detail to pay attention is the choice of materials that the designer used in the collection. We have got used to the concept of Manolo Blahnik who prefers to use a wide range of materials in a single shoe line. The best combinations of the season are mixtures of leather and suede, fur and suede, leather and fur. Apart from classic materials I have mentioned above the designer used wool and velvet. |
  |
Every shoe from the collection features a high elegant heel. Actually, I cannot imagine Blahnik footwear without this signature of the master. I cannot but mentioning that every pair of boots or ankle boots is adorned with diverse details. The adornments range from straps, buckles and lacing to fur cuffs and large buttons.
The designer included in the collection diverse styles and designs, so both women who prefer classic style and those who adore urban style will be satisfied. It is time to go shopping! |

| You are sure to remember the days when summer was the time when one would pack one’s boots and booties away and move on to more light and open footwear. But fashion is an uncertain lady that is inclined to changing her mind very quickly and often. That is why only a few seasons passed from those days but fashion trends and concepts have changed dramatically. Today you can see the lightest of boots and booties that are made especially for this hot season. |
 |
| If you have a closer look at these boots you will see that they are not actually traditional boots. This is a wonderful combination of the boots and the skimpiness of the sandals that are so required during the hot months. |
 |
| Among distinctive features of summer ankle boots are open toes, cuffs, laces, multiple straps, and many other traits. Depending on the style, you may find booties on high heels, wedges or flat ones. Having examined offerings in stores and girls in the street, I came to the conclusion that the most popular option is flat summer booties. And I can perfectly see the reason: summer is the most active season, so what you really need is maximum comfort. |
 |
Another popular version of the ankle boots is elegant evening ones that are perfect for a party or an evening out. By the way, these were there first summer boots we had seen. The appeared for the first time on the red carpet in Hollywood and the pioneer was a fashion lover, singer and actress Lindsay Lohan. Later on, the trend was caught up by Rihanna, Rachel Bilson, Olsen twins and so on.
To tell the truth I consider these booties too warm for hot summer days, that is why I have not dared try some. And you? |
