First of all, it should be said that straps of all kinds are extremely popular this summer, not only blue and white navy straps seen on Miu Miu 2011 mules, but all the rainbow colors can be mixed to create strapped patterns. Such shoes can also be found in Prada summer 2011 line up.

The Miu Miu 2011 mules feature a spectacular strappy print many fashion girls would appreciate. The mules are stylish, catchy and can definitely create a dynamic and cheeky mood. Just imagine how excellently these mules would look is coupled with a snow white maxi skirt or a long sundress!

The surface of these Miu Miu 2011 mules is made from textile. Blue and white straps immediately catch attention as well as a massive wooden platform measuring 1 inch in height. There’s also a heavy wide 5.5-inch heel. A wooden platform and heel indicate that Miu Miu marches in step with a popular eco-trend.

The Miu Miu 2011 mules are equipped with metal nails to attach the top to the platform so that they not only play a decorative role, but also make the footwear durable. On the inside the mules features leather insoles while from the outside the soles are treated with rubber to avoid slipping.

The price for these strappy “navy” mules makes $ 349.

This summer the French fashion house Christian Dior allows their admirers to come closer to the world of high fashion, namely to the world of Haute Couture shoes. The delightful Dior shoes that were first launched in frames of Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2010 collection will appear in boutiques now. Nobody can tell why they decided to do so, but you obviously shouldn’t miss such a great opportunity.

The four Haute Couture high-heeled sandals look as if taken from a fairy tale; they come in raspberry pink, red, black and golden color variants. The first three models are made from suede while the fourth one is made from thin leather. Every detail of these sandals deserves paying attention to; either it is an ornate heel comprised of interwoven stems, or a strap neatly stitched at the edges.

These refined Haute Couture sandals excellently suit an image of a flower girl used by Christian Dior from the early history of Dior fashion house. The colors for the Haute Couture Fall 2010 collection are inspired by the works of Irving Penn who takes macro photos of flowers and buds.

The colors include yellow, pink, orange, purple, lemon and blue shades that are not typical of fading fall, but reflect summertime riot of colors and shapes in the best way. John Galliano, the creator of these Haute Couture sandals, was also inspired by interwoven rose stems.

It goes without saying that each pair of the sandals was made by hand.

I remember the time when it was in fashion to wear transparent footwear. Lots of people appreciated it as firstly, such shoes can be combined with any clothes and handbags, secondly, they make the legs look longer and, thirdly, they create a striking illusion of wearing no footwear at all!

Such fashionable illusions can be found in the new model from Chloe shoe collection. It features a completely transparent surface and moreover, its heels are transparent as well, so that a girl wearing such shoes seems to hover above the ground rather than make steps.

The new Chloe shoe model is made of transparent acetate with black suede toes. In addition, there’s a black part on an ankle strap, but that’s all. All the other shoe elements are not colored, they are transparent.

The shoes are equipped with a wide and steady heel measuring 4 inches in height and tiny buckle to fix them on your feet. As far as you can see, the construction is quite standard.

The transparent Chloe shoe model can obtain color if worn with colored stockings and pantyhose. Isn’t it a great idea? In conclusion it should be said that the price tag for the shoes is $ 695.
