The Most Wonderful Time of the Year?

I think everyone loves summer. I am including myself in this sentiment, but one of the reasons I particularly enjoy this season is because it draws us closer to my favorite time of year: fall.

A lot goes on in the fall. Thanksgiving, Day After Thanksgiving Sale, my birthday, pumpkins, Christmas prepping, beautiful weather ... I love it!

But another major perk of the fall season is the fashion collections that make their debut. It's like fashion hibernates for a bit come summer because people are literally wearing less clothing. But in the fall it's like everyone wakes up well rested and comes alive again with vigor. And even though we havent experienced our usual summer heat waves here in So Cal yet, the e-mails and magazines are already showing us how to bundle up.

Today I received the shoe preview for fall from Bergdorf's (http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/) and wanted to share my favorites that Im feelin' thus far.

In case you can't tell I like chunky chunk heels. Double platforms. I just want to bite into them.

And of course an animal print can never go wrong ... not even on your feet. Imagine these prints

with a solid sheath. Both of these animals are from Louboutin.

The hybrid of clog and wedge by Prada is ingenius. And very 70s. Love it!

And isnt it amazing how Louboutin can make a plain satin pump look oh so regal and non-bridal?

My favorite shoes are always the experimental sort. I love how wild and different these standout statement makers are. These sculptural lace pumps are so delicate looking, yet fierce (Valentino). The python pumps are in perfect fall colors (Lanvin). And sparkle is fitting for any time of year (Louboutin, Miu Miu).

What are you eyeing for fall?
