Hancock Bootie, $233.90, Report Signature

Strappy and buckled booties are hot this fall for clothes that pay tribute to the swinging ’60s. They add severity to geometric one-piece dresses and a touch of rebellion to your style.

Peekaboo Pump, $35.90, Naughty Monkey

Prints are big this season, from polka dots to stars and of course, stripes. We love how pump has a bit of the burlesque vibe to it. Wear it with jeans or plain but architectural dresses for a sexy kick.

Miss You Boot, $79.90, Diba

Keeping your feet warm doesn’t have to be tasteless. This utilitarian boot is chic-ed up with its lace up style and faux shearling lining. The granny boot made wearable for every age and fashion taste!

Open Vamp Wedge Oxford, $86.90, All Black

Oxfords made fresh with an open vamp and a curvy, wedge heel! We see this with this season’s printed midi dresses and a nice leather clutch. It’s Parisienne chic all the way!

Lizzy Bootie, $99, Betsey Johnson

We might’ve featured the Lizzy Bootie more than once and can you blame us? The lace and raw edge ruffles of this peep toe lace up boots have a Tim Burton-esque feel that would certain put an edgy spin to your jeans or dress.

Hood VS. Evil.

The German model—who, by the way, also appears in the said movie—walked the red carpet at the Pacific Theaters in The Grove in Los Angeles, California on April 16 in a cute and sexy dressed-down style that consists of a turquoise-printed top and cuffed jeans. A pair of Miu Miu Canvas Polka-Dot Platform Sandals added fun and a good dose of fab to her red carpet look. A stack of bangles and a cocktail ring kept her style edgy.

I’m a big fan of retro polka dots and I’ve been keeping my eyes on those cute Miu Miu Canvas Polka-Dot Platform Sandals for a long time now. Seeing them being styled up by Ms. Klum certainly makes me want them more. Here’s a closer look:

Miu Miu Canvas Polka-Dot Platform Sandal

Are you a fan, too? We find it really cute. The polka dots are fun and the overall look is flirty and fab. If you love it, you can snag a pair at Neiman Marcus for $495.00. It also comes in red, which is equally lovely.

For cheaper alternatives, try these polka-dot sandals from Heels.

Mick Jagger’s daughter attended a photocall for Hudson jeans’ latest collection at Selfridges in London, England on March 10, wearing a bright red tank, black skinnies, and a roaring pair of leopard print platform pumps from Charlotte Olympia.

As you can see, Georgia May Jagger’s leopard print platform pumps certainly stole the show. With her simple get up, the pumps stood out. And rightly so, because they’re gorgeous and eye-catching. Here’s another look at it.

This Charlotte Olympia Bebel platform pump is part of the brand’s Spring 2011 Collection. I find it classy with its white and leopard print combo. The wood platform and heel have the right shade and sheen, which perfectly complement the rest of the shoe. Overall, it’s an elegant and exotically glamorous pair of pumps.

This Charlotte Olympia Bebel platform pump is not available online, and we’re not sure if they will be. However, just in case they would be, do watch out for them at Neiman Marcus, MyTheresa and Bergdorf Goodman as these online stores carry the Charlotte Olympia line.

For those who are looking for alternatives, you can try these leopard print pumps:

Betsey Johnson: Athena – Natural Leopard, $149.99

Boutique 9: Valtina Pumps, $70.00

Charles by Charles David Women’s Curvey Platform Pump, $164.95

Betsey Johnson Women’s Neville Open-Toe Pump, $108.59

The first two shoes are available at Heels.com, while the next two are from Endless.

I’ve written about old-fashioned high button boots before and this 18th century-inspired shoe style still ranks high on my lust worthy shoe list. Button boots are lovely, oh-so-romantic, and are perfect to match with the warm-toned fall fashions that are coming out right now.

Can’t you just imagine the following button boots with a nice warm coat and a nice cozy scarf?

Poetic Licence Toughen Up, $198.95

Betsey Johnson Wing It, $254.00

Sofft Orlena, $150.00

Marc by Marc Jacobs 606943, $480.00

There’s just something about the look of button boots that makes me feel all warm inside.

What’s your go-to boot style for fall 2010?

I’m not so sure about the way she rolled up the hem of her pants (looks a bit sloppy), but otherwise, Kate Hudson looks as fresh as a daisy in these pictures.

Kate Hudson’s bow-adorned shoes are the Fendi Raffia and Suede Pumps, which retail for $695 at Net-A-Porter.com:

Fendi Raffia and Suede Pumps

Although the raffia and suede material combination are very modern, I decided to feature these Fendi pumps here on Retro Vintage Shoes because they reminded me of the big bows that were all the rage in the 80s:

80s bow shoes

80s bow dresses

We owe all the bow trends that are coming out now to the 80s. If it weren’t for the trendsetters during that era, we would’ve been void of all the oversized bows and ribbons on our dresses, shirts, shoes, and more recently, headbands.

I wish it was as easy to find shoes with big bows as in the 80s, but things have been downplayed a lot. Can’t find shoes with bows to cover your whole foot anymore!

Here are the 4 biggest-bowed shoes that I could find:

Poetic Licence Women’s Glitz and Glam Peep Toe Booties

AK Anne Klein Elisha Black Patent

Joey O Gibson Pink Patent

Betsey Johnson Molly White Patent

Don’t you just love the exaggeration and excessiveness of the 80s?
