Happy Shoe Year!


Happy New Year, deputy shoe fairies!  I hope you all are eagerly awaiting a fresh start in 2013.  A new year, a new you… and why not try a new color?  In fact, Pantone recently announced its color of the year, and it’s emerald!  (It should look familiar to you Philly gals… it’s similar to the Eagles’ signature color, midnight green.)  While I am sorry to see Tangerine Tango go (hooray for orange!), I have to say I’m looking forward to a year of emerald.  Put your best foot forward in a pair of these!


The Panther by Miz Mooz almost looks like a mermaid’s tail, doesn’t it, the way it’s scalloped?  It has a cushioned leather insole, just over a quarter-inch heel, and is also available in red, orange, fuchsia, a beigey color they call cognac, blue, and black… your choice for $100 from Zappos.


Thinking ahead for spring!  The Knott Open Toe Cork Wedge by Unze is, well, an open toe cork wedge, with a knot detail over the peep toe, slingback, and about a three-inch wedge.  Also available in an equally lovely navy or coral; find them at Amazon (whole sizes only) for $30.


I love the sort of unexpected silhouette of the Jami by London Rebel: it looks like a regular pump, except for the chunky, curving 3.25-inch heel.  Oh, and you can’t see, but on the back there is a black stripe up the heel, holding five ribbon folds in place with silver studs.  Very cool!  Also available in black with pink up the back; get them from DSW for $50.

And the emerald pièce de resistance:


The A09270MAFM39 4664 by Sergio Rossi is so gorgeous that I think I’m actually salivating.  They’re like bejeweled emerald cages for your feet!  They have a suede upper with delicate curved cutouts studded with Swarovski crystals, a skinny four-inch heel, quarter-inch platform, and… oh, there I go, salivating again!  You may have to trade in some actual emeralds to buy them, though—they’ll run you $1,670 at Zappos Couture

I hope you’re inspired by the new color of 2013.  I think we’re in for a glamorous year!
