    Haute Deal: Badgley Mischka-Style Sequin Pumps For Under $25!

    It's no news that the trend this season is to drench just about anything in sequins: blazers, cardigans, tanks, etc. And as a girl who is instantly drawn to anything with a little sparkle (like a kitten to catnip), I'm all about the emergence of bedazzled pumps, just in time for holiday cocktail parties and New Years' Eve -- the ultimate excuse to bling yourself out like a human disco ball. However, fancified heels usually come with an super-showy price tag to match, like these lust-worthy Badgley Mischka Hart Pumps ($190) that would most likely have me dropping the shoe back on the rack like a hot coal. Lucky for us bargain hunters, however, good ol' Forever 21 has a nearly identical pair (can you tell which is which?!) for a mere $22.80! Considering a sturdy pair of sequin pumps probably aren't what you'd consider an everyday wardrobe staple, I think it would be safe to opt for the style steal in this case. But if you've got the extra $167.20 and really feel the urge to spend it for the sake of the designer name (okay, and the extra sequins on the heel), it's up to you!

    These Platform Pumps Make It Chic To Be Square!

    Pointed, rounded, almond, peep toe... you may think you've got your bases covered when it comes to shoe shopping, but there's a new style on the block that's ready to take over. Square toe platform pumps are popping up everywhere lately -- designer and bargain brands alike -- and are bringing that ballerina-inspired pointe shoe look to the style scene. The flattened toe provides a vintage feel, especially if you go Mad Men style with a pencil skirt, while the platform gives the look a modern edge. Be careful when indulging in this trend, though -- if you're looking to elongate your legs, you might not want to throw out all your pointed pumps and replace them with their snubbed-toe counterpart! However, all you leggy girls can lust after the trend without fear! Of course, your credit card may have reason to fret if you go overboard... check the slideshow to see a selection of hot square-toed platforms!

    LimeLife Spots Suri Cruise Wearing Heels Again!

    Seriously? We don't understand what's going on. Does Katie Holmes think this is cute? Honestly, we're concerned for any child that's allowed to be out and about wearing high heel shoes. And Suri Cruise is wearing them again. When we were kids, we all had those little sparkly plastic high heels. We'd wear them while playing dress-up, walk horribly in them, and throw them off. But Suri Cruise is already a high-heel walking expert at age three. Do you think this is a good thing or is it horribly inappropriate? At least Suri's heels weren't as high this time and they seemed to fit her a bit better (the last ones were way too big), but how many pairs of high heels does Suri have? With so many cute pairs of kid's flats out there, we don't get why Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise allow Suri to wear heels. She'll have plenty of time for that! What do you think of Suri Cruise's shoe habit? Go visit our friends over at LimeLife to weigh in!

    Line To Watch: Finsk By Julia Lundsten

    When Manolo Blahnik uses words like "exquisite, "divine," and "perfect" to describe your shoe designs, you know you're on the up and up (and not just in terms of heel height). That's exactly where designer Julia Lundsten is going with her line Finsk. Launched in 2004, her collection of crazy designs and quirky, sculptural heels has her dubbed as the Eames of footwear. While attending London's Royal College of Art she won the prestigious Manolo Blahnik Award 2 years in a row. Her inspiration from architecture and furniture is visible in the details of her shoes. Her love of furniture design extends to her way of thinking too -- considering the heel and the sole as the chair's legs and the upper as the seat, her shoes always seem to cradle the foot perfectly. With an unconventional style, the pumps, ankle booties, and boots all feature heels hand-carved from sustainable hard woods from Brazil. If that doesn't get you walking tall, I don't know what will! Check out the slideshow to see some of her signature styles.

    Seriously Horrible High Heels.

    Men love high heels, or more specifically, the love women in high heels! And why shouldn't they? They make our legs look hot and also deceive people into thinking we aren't half-man half-Weebles. Girls (and some boys!) start wearing heels at the ripe old age of three, when we slip on mommy's pumps and go clicking down the hallway! As we get older, we all find our favorites. From the classic peep-toe pump to strappy, gladiator-inspired slingbacks, every girl knows that there's no such thing as too many shoes! But even the sexiest of shoes can go horribly wrong when designers who should probably be crushing boxes at K-Mart sit down in front of the drawing board and let their creative juices flow. These are some of the ugliest heels we could find. Own something worse? Let us know! To get an even bigger shoe scare, check out more horrible high heels at Lemondrop!

    When I lived near Hayes Valley in San Francisco, I used to get off the bus a few stops ahead just so I could wander down Hayes Street and browse around at one of my favorite shoe stores, Gimme Shoes. It was a little happy place for me to just be around all these beautiful shoes, even if I hadn't exactly left room in the budget for an additional pair or two. I'm happy to report that they now have everything online so even if you aren't in San Francisco, you can still shop their extensive and stylish collection! If you are in or around San Francisco, check out their two store locations -- 416 Hayes Street and 2358 Fillmore Street -- to see all the stunning shoes in person! Some of my current favorites are the Loeffler Randall bootie ($578), the Coclico peep-toes ($320), and these ruffled Rachel Comey open-toe heels ($310). When you're finished browsing the covetable collection, click on over to Coquette for more splurge-worthy fashion finds!
