Steven by Steve Madden Konnie Peep Toe PumpI don't think I'm the type who can wear three and a half inch heels (unless I'm being carried everywhere, which doesn't seem to happen as much as I would like it to). But if I were that type, these would be on my feet right now. I really dig the grey plaid combined with the red patent leather strap and heel.
$128.95, Nordstrom
Abby Ballet FlatI like the look of this cracked silver leather flat. I'm always drawn to silver ballet flats, but I've never bought a pair, because they make me feel like I have a robots on my feet (here's an example). These are different. The color is very sleek and doesn't make the phrase, "Danger, Will Robinson!" pop into my head.
$88.00, Banana Republic
Nina Vikki Silver Strappy SandalOkay, I think I just need to bite the bullet here and buy these shoes. I mean, metallic silver strappy snakeskin sandals? Yes, please! These would lend a little sparkle to anything from nice jeans to an evening gown. They also come in gold.
$78.95, Nordstrom
Steve Madden Kerrii FlatsThese shiny pewter leather flats with lots of decorative buckles will make it easier to bid adieu to your summer peep-toes. They really dress up an outfit. These shoes are also available in a very cool kelly green.

Bronx Shoes Vivian BootsYes, I'm already thinking about fall boots. Mostly because I saw these funky pointy-toed leather boots. The boots have a two and a half inch heel and also come in black, white, and brown.
$161.00, Zappos
Melanie Olive Faux Suede Vegan Slip-On FlatsThese faux suede flats were made without any animal products. Even if that's not something that's important to you, you can still appreciate their cuteness. I like the antique-looking button on the side. These would look great with jeans.
$39.00, Alternative Outfitters
Naturalizer LoolooI've taken a shine to these Mary Janes with a slight heel. They would look sleek with a pencil skirt. And I like the nifty cut-out at the heel. They're available in either navy (seen here) or black.
$69.00, Naturalizer
Franco Sarto Card Patent FlatI bought these red patent leather shoes last week when Nordstrom was having a big sale, and I really adore them. They're so shiny and bright. I basically decided I needed some more colorful footwear after watching a What Not to Wear marathon.
$78.95, Nordstrom
Herringbone Mary Jane Ballet FlatSpeaking of autumn, these darling herringbone Mary Janes need to be part of my fall wardrobe. They have rubber soles and come in gray or khaki (seen here).
$39.50, Gap
Not Rated Suit It Up Argyle HeelsI heart these shoes. I've never looked at an argyle sweater and thought, Hey, that would totally look cute as a pair of shoes, but it actually works. These are adorable. They have a stacked heel that's almost three inches tall.
$45.95, Zappos
Paris Wheel SkimmerThis shiny shoe is pretty rad. It's basically a crinkly metallic leather sneaker. It would look great with jeans. You can also buy it in silver or metallic brown.
$59.00, Kenneth Cole Reaction
Kenneth Cole Reaction Spark N Flash SandalsWhen I wear a flip-flop dress shoe, like this one, I feel like I'm getting away with something. With sparkly straps, these are both comfortable and super fabulous. (Just ignore the stupid name.) You can also buy these in gold, black, or hot pink.
$82.95, Zappos.com
Enzo Angiolini Verdure Slingback PumpThese patent leather pumps, with three-inch heels, are classic and beautiful. I love the open toe with the flat, shiny bow on top. These dress up any outfit. They also come in red and ivory.
On sale for $64.90 (until August 6), Nordstrom
Leopard RainbootHow totally awesome are these galoshes? I usually try to keep the animal print to a minimum, so as not to look like Peggy Bundy, but these leopard print puddle stompers are just too hot to resist. They're cute enough to wear all day.
$34.00, Urban Outfitters
Anne Klein Mistral WedgesI've been rocking the wedges this summer (they're more comfortable than heels), and I like how these patent leather slingbacks are dressy enough to wear with a suit dress or some really nice trousers. The basketweave wedge heel gives it a summery look.
