The Andy Edition

As the summer rolls by us, and fall turns our way it’s time now to pick up a couple of fun party shoes for the upcoming holiday season.

Vivacious shoes are a must.  The outfit can be as simple as you want it, but a banging statement shoe, or a glittery stiletto will sure enough set the ground on fire with every step you take.  Whatever your mood is for the day, let your shoes do the talking.

If you want to take a walk on the wild side, try a pair of Manolo Blahnik’s Pony Leopard d’Orsay stilettos.

If you are feeling sexy and sassy and ready to let loose, try a pair of red, Jimmy Choo Cage sandal, that offers a cute peep toe with a simple cutout on the top of each foot.

With one margarita down and two more to go, the perfect kick back shoe for the evening would be the Christian Louboutin So Private Metallic Slingbacks that can go with any outfit.

You don’t want to over do the outfit and the shoes.  Too much can make your appearance come out as overdone.   Take a look at some of the hottest statement and party shoes by yours truely Christian Louboutin, Yves Saint Laurent and Jimmy Choo.

Here a few pairs of shoes that might get you more than a drink.
