The Alexander McQueen Spring Summer 2011 Shoe collection continues with their ornate designs. UPDATE: April 29, 2011: The butterfly shoes are on sale at alexandermcqueen.com right now. Get them before they are gone. This season’s butterfly influence leads to some interesting shoes but nothing tops the Alexander McQueen Fall 2010 – 2011 Shoe collection. images: tooklookbook.com
There are times when I stare at my shoe collection looking for a simple heel. This always happens when I’m looking for something dressy or black tie. I like these Paloma Satin Platform Pumps by Charlotte Olympia ones because they have a platform and are pretty neutral but the little detail on the heel makes them different. Charlotte Olympia is available at The Room by The Hudson’s Bay. images: net-a-porter.com

The YSL downtown bag is another classic I like. This one is in a pony fabric and that makes it a bit different than the rest. images: net-a-porter.com
Ya, these Camilla Skovgaard heels are just little crazy. They’d give my coworkers something to talk about. images: net-a-porter.com

I loved the colours and prints in the spring summer 2011 Jil Sander womenswear collection. I didn’t enjoy the actual clothing too much. It’s the silhouette. It’s too oversized for me and only waifs can pull off such a look. The accessories are amazing though. The prints are so perfect. I was more interested in the handbags. The shoes not so much as they were complimentary but not very exciting to me. Check out the Jil Sander Spring Summer 2011 Womenswear show. And check out the Jil Sander Spring Summer 2011 Menswear show which I thought was brilliant. images: style.com
The Star Wars and Adidas collaboration is going strong. The Spring Summer 2011 collection is full of some fun clothing that is heavy on the Boba Fett. I wasn’t all that jazzed about the shoes except for the Imperial Guard ones. They are beautiful. See the rest of the collection at Sneaker Freaker Magazine. images: sneakerfreaker.com
