Michael Kors Spring 2014 shoe collection

For Michael Kors, the chunkier, the better! His Spring 2014 shoe collection in New York Fashion Week featured pumps, sandals and loafers in leathers and snakeskin with the chunkiest heels.

I am partial to the color blue and I think it would be exciting to wear something like this for Spring.

Nude sandals, like pumps, will go a long way... It will perfectly match any dress in your closet.

Channel your inner tomboy with loafers worn with your white flowy dress if you want to break away from being too girly.

Donna Karan Spring 2014 RTW Runway Shoes

Donna Karan played with blues and browns and tribal prints for Spring 2014. It is my most favorite collection so far and I am not talking about shoes yet. The shoes are a mix of earth colors and snakeskin with studs and stacked heels to complement the entire collection.

Derek Lam 'Fia' ankle strap sandals

My favorite color is blue and obviously it is not so hard for me to like this 'Fia' sandals by Derek Lam. Although I like the color, I find it hard to wear it on a daily basis because of my conservative office attire. I only have two blue shoes--peep toe pump and ballet flats. I would love to add this in my collection. Aside from its color, I am also partial to crisscrossed straps. Considering the 4-inch heel, this girl is not made for walking.

This is available at shopbop.com for $795.

Balenciaga winged woven sandal

WOW!

Balenciaga is one of those shoe brands that don't go for classic and conventional styles. I haven't seen any shoe from the brand that anyone can wear on a daily basis. Another example of how Balenciaga defies the norms is this particular winged sandal. It is one hell of a statement shoe. I mean, look at it! Doesn't it immediately remind you of the Jetsons?

This stunner has 120mm sculptured heel. Its upper is made of woven snakeskin on a silver sole. And you can buy it at Barneys for $2,950. Like it? Click on the link to get yourself a pair.

The inner side is exposed to create a different silhouette. Its heel measures 125mm while the platform is 25mm.

Of course, a unique footwear like this should be worn with leg baring dresses. If this fancies you, you can have it for $760 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Slithering snake! What else could this be?

I actually have mixed thoughts about these pumps. First, I really don't like the sight of snakes although I like snakeskin shoes. Second, it is too colorful and beautiful but I am not yet that adventurous when it comes to shoes.

You may want to see these pumps in different angles...

Lila Castellaneta python and satin bow pumps

Another newbie in this blog, Lila Castellaneta. It is that perky bow that caught my attention. Although Valentino has mastered the art of putting perky bows on his shoes, we should give credit to Lila Castellaneta for doing an awesome job.
