If you were a fan of Christian Siriano on Project Runway, check out his new shoe line for Payless, released September 8. Here are my favorites from his Egyptian-inspired collection!

He has a couple of great flats in his line — feminine and stylish with great, luxe details. Isn’t the turquoise a great color?

I’m a fan of tough-looking shoes, and Christian’s heels and boots don’t disappoint. Hardware and zippers on shiny, leather-like material — I love it!

The best part? You can snatch these up for no more than $50. Now that’s fierce!

Have you heard of Modcloth? If not, it’s one of my new favorite online retailers. The prices can be a bit pricey, but there is no better place to find vintage-inspired clothing and accessories. Just look at those shoes! They are to die for, no?

Modcloth is perfect if you like feminine, vintage clothing, and if you need a cocktail or party dress, you should definitely check them out.

Favorite Summer Shoes by jackieheartsb on Polyvore.com

My favorite new summer shoes include a bevy of adorable, colorful sandals; platform heels and bright-colored flats. All–yes all–of these shoes are under $60 and all are available to purchase online.

A few surefire picks: the gray Havaianas slingbacks, which are perfect for vacation if you are going to be doing a lot of walking or shopping. Also, these $20 Ecote triple-button t-strap sandals from Urban Outfitters are a no-brainer steal.

What are your favorite shoes for summer?

Designer collaborations are heaven sent for those who want designer styles at a lesser price, and recently, there have been a couple of announcements for new lines that have the online fashion community abuzz.

Buying a pair of Jimmy Choos can easily set you back more than $600, but Jimmy Choo’s new line for H&M will be sure to please shoe addicts with its cheaper prices (most of the shoes will range in price from $99 to $129). The collaboration will not only feature women’s shoes, but also handbags and a men’s collection of shoes and accessories. This is the first time H&M is collaborating with an accessories brand, and with a brand like Jimmy Choo, I’m sure we’re in for a treat. You’ll have to wait a little longer to get your hands on these items, though — the collection’s slated for release on November 14.

I’m back! I apologize for my absence — when you’re in your last semester of college, your priorities are rearranged for you. Hopefully I’ll be posting a little more regularly now that I have more time to indulge the shoe addict in me.

Yes, I graduated from college! Here are the shoes I wore on my graduation day:

I bought these a year ago for $16 at Ross and had never worn them. Notice the picture on the left of me trying to discreetly massage my feet with a smile on my face!

Graduation means freedom and an entrance into the “real world” (which, in the current economy, is a bit scary for the class of 2009), but on a more materialistic note, it also means graduation presents. I’ve been blessed to have a loving and generous family, and I received a lot of great gifts — most of which went straight into my savings account, as it should be with any grad.

Anyway, with a $20 Victoria’s Secret gift card (and a very well-timed 25%-off-a-single-item special), I was able to score these 4-inch Colin Stuart heels for under $30 — and the original price was $88!

What do you think? What shoes do you have your eye on this summer?

I have noticed that there has been many versions of the “sandal booties” out this season.

They come in many different styles:

And even in boot version:

I wasn’t sure about these styles when I first saw them but I have to say, the ”sandal bootie” is growing on me. I haven’t bought a pair yet bu, I am seriously considering it.

How about all you fashionistas?

Loving or hating the “sandal bootie”?

I, like almost everyone else, have found myself tightening the money belt these days as the economic times get more uncertain. I am not spending as much as I have in past months and find that when I do, it is after much thought and weighing of the thought, “Do I REALLY need this?” Such a hard task for an admitted “shopping addict” like myself.

Still, I have found there are things I am willing to spend more money on. For me it is shoes and handbags though I am a lot more careful in choosing styles that will last more than one season.

Shoes like these by Report Signature:

Which are very “of the moment” but can be potentially worn for more than one season.

Or handbags like this one by Fendi:

A bag that can easily be used year after year until it wears out due to it’s classic style.

Yes, it is still unseasonably cold, but as I wander the Internet I am seeing sandals everywhere.

It points to the arrival of spring, hopefully, just around the corner. So many different styles of sandals and I just have to share some of the styles I am seeing with all the StyleFeeder fashionistas.

There is a huge amount of “gladiator on steroids” style sandals out this spring. Like this pair by Dolce Vita:

I love buckles on sandals and the more the better. 

I am seeing a lot of braiding in sandals as well. Sometimes combined with interesting colours and buckles like these by Modern Vintage Shoes:

The purple leather and the braiding just catch the eye. They would look great on the foot.

I’m loving two current trends: brightly-colored heels (think demure, ladylike peep toes or pumps in orange, yellow or lime green patent leather) and crazy booties and sandals with sky-high heels or creative cutouts. I love a good pop of color on the foot, and I admire an out-there heel…but I don’t know if I’m ballsy enough to combine the two trends.

Lately, I’ve been seen lots of fuchsia and purple-colored confections show up on my Watchlist, so obviously someone out there is loving the combo. But are they actually wearing them? I want to hear from you fashion-forward ladies….would you sport these stunners? And if so, what are you pairing them with?

Prints are everywhere for spring. No matter what your style, there’s something for everyone, even if your wardrobe revolves around basic neutrals.

Luckily, you’re not restricted to buying just one patterned piece, but I’m curious…If you could only buy one printed item for spring, what would it be?

A fabulous floral?

A wearable watercolor?
