The best of AW 11/12 in shoe trends

Hello Shoe lovers,

I have gone out and searched for what I believe to be the best examples of the shoe trends this season.  The runways were hot with all sorts of fabulous creations so here is my paired down list of what you should be running out to purchase.

Colour is really big for AW 11/12! Loads of rich tones of Burgundy, Mustard, Teal and well the list goes on. I think the "Carmen" by Charlotte Olympia is a perfect example of a beautifully made colourful shoe that  follows several of the trends this season.

You can't go wrong with a to die for chunky wedge

 in a fabulous colour with an of-the-moment ankle strap!

This season the block heel is back in a big way and Fendi has done a beautiful version of a mens brogue inspired shoe with a textured block heel.  Fabulous to the office or on the weekend!

Patent leather shoes are always a classic must-have in any woman's wardrobe. This season Louis Vuitton has done an especially girly patent pump that I have been salivating over! It comes in both a dark green and timeless black.

Laces, Laces everywhere! and I found a gorgeous example of a to the knee version lace-up boot that you can wear with just about anything!  YSL  has created this super sexy suede wedge lace-up boot that is to die for!

Snakeskin was used by many a designer for AW 11/12, my favourite by far is by Jimmy Choo. The "Forbes" is a beautiful mustard suede double platform pump with a gorgeous viper-print Elaphe strap.

For evening, satin was the name of the game. Whilst there are many examples of beautifully crafted satin shoes, my vote goes to the satin shoe with a twist! The ever creative Christian Louboutin has come up with an absolutely fabulous creation that combines crepe satin and leather sequins. The "Clair De Lune" will take you right through all those holiday season parties and I guarantee you will get noticed!

This concludes my list of the "must haves" for AW 11/12. Happy shopping everyone!
