All of these shoes are beyond stunning! I would sell my soul in order to obtain any one of these fabulous creations.This year celebrities were ga-ga over YSL Tribute platforms and Brian Atwood shoes were on every red carpet and that's why I decided not to select any of them. My selection is base on unique funky footwear.

I said it and I will say it again, your shoes are the most important part of your ensemble. Women in your twenties can be a little flexible. I know you guys are in school or just started your career therefore you don't have a great deal of money to spend. Stores like Forever 21, Aldo or Steve Madden have great selections. Save the 3 inches and higher for cocktail hour so you won't ruin your feet.

It's time to invest in quality leather shoes when you hit the thirty year old mark and over; think quality not quantity. Nothing ruins an outfit more than cheap cheesy shoes.Prices are ridiculous for high-end designer shoes but Nine West, Carlos Santana, and Jeffrey Campbell have affordable prices especially when you catch them on sale. Unless you are with your daughter or niece, nothing is more embarrassing than witnessing anyone over thirty in Forever 21!

The popular trends this year were platforms, peep-toes, cut-outs and over-the-knee boots. Wear it and be fabulous!
