Staying chic from the ankle down in the face of economic woe just got a whole lot easier thanks to Binith Shah and Elizabeth Rickard, the husband and wife team behind the highly sought-after luxury brand Rickard Shah (celeb fans include Jessica Alba, Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie and more)!. The duo recently launched Valea Firenze, a new footwear line offering the same chic, fashion-forward style that defines their aesthetic, but at extremely wallet-friendly prices (ranging from $185-$245). The spring collection is already available at Nordstrom's, but the best is yet to come with their Fall 2008 collection, which features 66 unique styles in various heel-heights. In addition to classic wardrobe staples in black, brown and gray, there's an array of eye-catching "it" shoes with sleek silhouettes and party-perfect details including delicate ribbon details, metallic top stitching, and jeweled embellishments.
