Erin here, with the 4^th installment of your Fall 2011 Shoe Trends!  Up next on the list are ankle booties.  These little cuties have a bunch of varieties from high-heels to wedges and are a must-have trend for your closet.

Here are some of my fave celeb styles that range from sexy to casual:

Holiday season is upon us…which means it’s time to stock up on glam party-wear!  From office holiday parties to New Year’s Eve and everything in between, make sure you stand out with some of the fun textures that are associated with the holidays – glitter, sequins, and lace.

Now, for me, I don’t like spending a whole lot of money on items that I will only wear on occasion.  I scoured the internet for affordable items that would be great additions to your holiday closet, and I found some great options.  I also just want to note – go easy on the glitter and sequins.  Stick to one piece, whether it be a dress, a top, or a pair of shoes.  Too much can be distracting and hard to pull off…well, unless you’re Lady Gaga!

Dresses

Dresses are must-haves for the holiday season.  In addition to the staple “little black dress,” I found some really fun dresses – and believe it or not, all of the dresses are under $70!  Key trend highlights include bright jewel tones (think reds, blues, and purples), sequins, and lace details.

OK, wedge shoes of all varieties – I give up.  I give in to your awesomeness, and I am finally ready to submit to your authority.  You win!

I don’t know why, but for some reason I’ve always been resistant to wedges.  (Maybe first of all it’s because I’m not very fashionable.  Anyone with a pair of eyeballs can see that, so I might as well not try denying it!)

I first remember seeing wedge sandals in the summer a year or two ago.  I initially hated the way they looked and thought I would never wear them.  But as I’ve seen them more and more recently, I’ve realized that they’re here to stay, and hey – I kind of like them!

Another eye-opener for me was when my daughter got a new Barbie for her birthday…and guess what was on her feet?  A sky-high pair of fabulous white wedge sandals.  I figured if even a doll can keep up with current fashion trends, then maybe it was time for me to get on the ball!

Of course, it’s not exactly sandal season right now, so I think I’ll start on my wedge journey during this cooler weather, with a new pair of boots…

Hey Y’all!  I’m back this week with another shoe trend for fall: motorcycle boots!  I’ve been seeing celebrities wear these for a few seasons now but they are back in a big way this fall.  Here’s how celebs have been styling their boots:
