Cool Shoes for Winter

It seems as though winter is going to leave splashes of color all over the Parisian sidewalks - and I'm not referring to rain puddles - I'm talking about shoes and leggings! I'm especially loving the bright colors - and on a pair of heels! Who cares that's it's cold? It's all about looking great!

Turquoise heels

Turquoise flats

Loud and bright leggings with high glossy black heels


Snake-skin print trainers for guys


The trusty old dirty pair of converse....

...and of course a pair of purples!

During Paris Fashion Week spring-summer this year, the streets themselves became a public runway - a feast for the fashion-loving eye! Bright colours, figure-hugging and loadsa attitude dominated "le rue" runways...
