This next offering is by Max Azria. Here are just a few of my personal favorites.

Colorful, sleek, and definitely modern. This is a ever so small sample of TIBI's Fall 2009 Show.

Badgley Mischka, what's in a name? Well THEY ARE are an American Fashion Label. The two of them met at Parsons (Fabled Design School in New York City). They went on to launch their label "Badgley Mischka in 1988. They also launched a bridal business in 1993. Their Resort 2009 Collection is full of color and vibrancy and it makes you just proud of these these two.

Shoe Shopping Cont.....

Alright, ok, so I'm not finished shoe shopping and like 80% of American Women I probably won't ever be. You can go along though. A friend of mine was teasing me about shoes and I told him women's shoes was to women like video games (Madden in particular) and cars are to men. It's just part of who we are. Anyway, I saw this neat little high heeled sandal at Guess. It reminds me of the flat leather sandals made like this. All the designers are doing this sort of gladiator themed shoes this season. It's called "Eulia." They bill it as their twist on the strappy sandal, with Bold leather cross-strap detail. And it has a double harness buckle at the ankle. It seriously reminds me of the "Ines Biker Leather Sandal" by Jimmy Choo. Both shoes are available at Nordstrom's. This white sandal is called "Leanna." It's enamel offers a soft and glamorous look. It's got a strappy sandal T-Strap with an adjustable harness buckle at the ankle. Enamel rings in a "I heart Guess" motif. Kinda reminds of the Badgley Mischka sandal by the name of "Isabetta." Finally we have Guess's blue "Empower" sandal. Open toe with a stacked bow accent. Strappy sandal detail at ankle. Adjustable harness and a covered platform. Kinda like Moschino's "Cheap and Chic Ruched Toe Sandal." So for every shoe their is a comparable shoe, always at different prices and slightly different styles.
