blue suede high heelsBlue suede shoes are a guaranteed conversation starter, and we’ve tracked down a seriously hot new pair.

Let me introduce Correns by B Brian Atwood, a new 4.25 inch heel with a 0.5 inch platform. This blue suede stretch sandal will cost $395 and ships 21 June 2013. It’s available for pre-order now from the Brian Atwood website.

If you can’t wait that long for your blue suede fix, then I can happily report that help is at hand. Jessica Simpson’s Jasmint in Americana blue suede has just returned to heels.com. This kick-arse 5 inch stiletto has a 1.5 inch platform.

I’d recommend getting in quickly as this shoe is very popular and will no doubt sell out. In fact the stocks of size 9 are already exhausted 🙁

Other sizes are available right now from heels.com for the very reasonable price of $89.99.

Shoe trends for fall and winter 2012-13 revealed

 

Jessica Simpson ankle bootsTrying to predict shoe trends is one of the more fun guessing games we play, but to get the really good tips why not ask an industry expert? Recently the team from Australian Exhibitions & Conferences did just that when they caught up with Jen Sherrin of leading fashion trend forecaster WGSN.

So what trends can we look for in this coming fall and winter? Jen says that we can expect rich and dark tones as usual this winter, but also that the pastel look from spring and summer should continue on through the colder months. However the pastel look for fall and winter will be a little more subtle or subdued that the look from the warmer seasons.

Jen also says to look out for tone-on-tone pastels this fall and winter, referencing the likes of Jil Sander. We should also see references of black and white coming into the pastel collection and some companies are even putting a tiny bit of neon into the pastels for accessories.

Theres no neon in these charcoal ankle boots, but we think their two-toned, color-blocked design will remain on trend for a while to come. Pictured here in Charcoal/Amoretto these round-toe, 4.5 inch ankle boots are new from Jessica Simpson for $129.

Jessica Simpson launches new website – and prepares to give birth in flats!

Megastar Jessica Simpson – who last year threatened to give birth to her daughter in 4 inch stilettos – has relented in her final days of pregnancy and has opted to wear Havaianas flip-flops instead.

“This little lady in my belly throws off my balance,” Simpson said in a recent interview. “I’m flat-footed, so cute flats and ballet slippers are comical on my feet.” Simpson is due to give birth in only a matter of days and has been recently reported as saying “I feel like I could pop at any second!”

It’s a pretty safe bet that Simpson will be back in her high heels soon. She’s also already confessed to being mildly concerned about her daughter inheriting one aspect of fiancé Eric Johnson athleticism – the effect on shopping! “I swear, I will croak if she asks me for a pair of Nikes instead of Christian Louboutins,” Simpson laughed last month.

Meanwhile, the actress, singer and TV personality’s fashion brand continues to gather momentum. The Jessica Simpson Collection’s website has recently been upgraded to improve the browsing experience and has a new name too: Jessica Simpson Collection has just become Jessica Simpson.

The new Jessica Simpson website now includes a Fashion Star episode guide and a news section and it is offering 20% off shoes until Wednesday and free shipping on all orders until Monday.
