Shoe Candy: Giuseppe Zanotti Sneaker Wedges

"Basketball Wives" dynamo, reality star and fellow shoe addict Evelyn Lozada, recently gave us a glimpse into her recent shoe obsession. She's got some pep in her wardrobe step courtesy shoe designer extraordinaire Giuseppe Zanotti. She ‘grammed a peep photo of her shoe candy for the road last week - their trendy zip-up wedge sneaker ($595.00). We remember spotting singer Brandy wearing a pair of Giuseppe sneaker wedges this past summer at the Global Fusion Festival.

I’ve fallen for this trend. It upgrades the tomboy look from slouch to sleek. Even Christina has caught on!

Taken from LoveBrownSugar Chic: Sneak Peek

So, Ev’s tan and black Giuseppe Zanotti wedge sneakers are completely in tune with the modish fall trend. I prefer to sport the wedge-sneaker combo with the most feminine outfit I can find. It is an amazing contrast that turns plenty heads. Now lovelies, her strutters are retailing for $595 at Barneys (which is rent and insurance money in my world,) but never fret! You can partake in the trend for much less.

LBS Street Chic: NYFW Day 1

 With fashion week in full swing, and the tents buzzing with industry insiders, you're bound to see amazing outfits on the streets outside Lincoln Center. Here's a taste of what I saw on Day 1...

Elaine, Style & Beauty Editor, Ebony Magazine

I stopped this lovely lady named Elaine Welteroth in front of the steps of Lincoln Center because her outfit was so cute! Love the high-waisted look, and her shoes are bomb...

Can't go wrong with lace-up booties. Heavy contender for Shoe Candy, no?

Fashion Editor, ??

So I didn't catch this young lady's name or affiliation, but I did capture her amazing outfit. She mentioned that she was a fashion editor (I believe for Harper's or Glamour), evidenced by her amazing outfit. You guys know I'm a fan of leopard print...

Joy, Fashion Blogger, JoyLovesFashion.com

Can you tell she's a fellow fashion blogger? This young diva caught my eye with her standout harem pants (again, I'm a lover of animal print).

Introducing...Shoe Candy!

I have to admit, I have a bit of a problem. Accessories are my weakness, shoes are my Achilles heel (no pun intended). So if I obsess every now and then, bare with me. I'm in love...

 These babies I snatched up at Forever21 this past weekend. I tweeted about them on Saturday. Apparently they are actually Miu Miu knockoffs...pretty damn good ones I must say considering the F21 pair are $25.80 and the originals are $590:

 (From left: Forever 21, $25.80. Miu Miu, $590)

Anyway, I plan to debut them during fashion week if the powers-that-be don't frown on me for wearing F21 knockoffs *shrugs*. In the store, I contemplated getting the black pair on the left with tiny white polka dots, but decided the floral ones were more fun and adventurous...
