Donald Pliner "Dara" $325

Every autumn we have women who come in searching for shoes in Navy Blue. Well wait no longer ladies! The color of the season as reported by Pantone Fashion Color Report is Majolica Blue. This cross between warmer teals and deep navy is the "it" color for the 2009/2010 fall/winter season. Match your fashion plaids and signature statement scarves with these booties from Donald J. Pliner in Majolica Blue.
Hip, cute, and oh so comfortable, style "Dara" from Donald J Pliner for $325, is a fashion must have. Get your fix of the caged look while staying high and dry above the wet Seattle ground. The elastic caging and panel on the side allow for maximum fit and comfort to conform to your unique foot, and the round toe and heel vamp create a sexy retro 20's feel.

Thanks to Anne for letting me match these beauties to her Jeep. Who says you can't four-wheel off road in heels :) This is a better profile where you can really see the beautiful architecture of the heel.

Introducing the Fabulous SZ Collection

mu.shoe would like to introduce the newest addition to our fabulous collection of luxury designer handbags- and that is the SZ Collection by Silvia Zumarraga.

Inspired by her grandfather's cattle ranch lifestyle in the foothills of the Andes in Argentina, Silvia selects the finest leathers and works with the local tanneries in Argentina to create stunning colors and leathers which are the cut and sown together by hand.

SZ Collection produces small quantities of each bag; resulting in a well-designed and hand-finished handbag that can be ordered in several colors. SZ Collection's exclusivity is defined in the true sense of the word, unmistakably classic, always appropriate and totally individual. After all, who doesn't like to be asked “where did you get that beautiful bag?”

Classic style and beautiful craftsmanship are Silvia's SZ Collection hallmarks- and we think you will fall in-love with her amazing sense of style, just as we have.
