($21, GoJane.com)
Either this designer's really into Jamaica and/or Zimbabwe, or they've got their eye on the LAMB "Darrel" heels we posted about yesterday. Regardless, for $21, I'd hit it. And, bonus: NO WHIPSTITCHING! Yeee-HAW!

Love It Or Leave It: L.A.M.B.'s "Darrel" Pump
Ok. I've been seeing the LAMB "Darrel" heel ALL over the flogosphere lately (flog = fashion + blog ---> dork central, I know). I totally predict that the awkwardly named "Darrel" heel is gonna be this season's wack-ass it-shoe, a la the Balenciaga "Sportiletto" Lego heel nightmare that everyone but Beyonce and Kanye West hated. Or at least this'll be the mid-range designer version.
I personally love the color combo, but I'm almost 150% completely opposed to whipstitching under all circumstances, except for in the case of an emergency -- an emergency being like... you're like a professional rodeo person, and it's like regulation that you MUST wear whipstitching or face total catastrophic career ruin. Otherwise, it's too chees-ay Southwesty/ Tex-Mexy for me. Like, couldn't Gwen have just left well enough alone and let it be a cool, bright color-blocked heel? Guess not.
Anyway, thoughts?

Footwear, Au Naturale
I present you... lots of heels and boots, with nods to nature in the form of wood, straw and earth tones! Hippie chic meets urban sophisticate... errr something...

I'm also not totally sold on these, but I kind of like the rustic, ruggedness of the unfinished edge.

($114, Asos)Love the woo heel, though I'm not totally convinced that the peep toe element is okay. Oh well. Sacrifices, I suppose! And they're gorgeous in green too:

($320, L.A.M.B., Shopbop.com)Um, okay so I'm sorta cheating with these, but the woven effect is sorta nature-y, no? Rattan and wicker porch chairs and all that?

Not sure who's getting knocked off here. Balenciaga? Miu Miu? Fendi? Chanel? No matter, because I can't afford any of them!
Ah, my leit motif: the wood cone heel. I'd break for these.

($70, Faryl Robin, Ravinstyle.com)Normally these would be just a little too Chrissy Snow for me, but the little turquoise buckle is both totally modernizing and endearing.
($290, Derek Lam, Barneys)I absolutely love these. They have a sorta sexy, smart speakeasy feel to them. Like you put 'em on and something naughty'll happen on ye olde Bowerie or something! Like two whiskey-drunk dudes in mustaches will have a fistfight over you that'll escalate into a knife fight!
