top five shoe trends for fall 09

instyle.com has released the top five shoe trends for fall 09 (drum roll please…)

animal prints – check! (i must admit i have several pairs in this category…including the lovely stuart weitzman pic below…
heavy hardware – check!
extreme platforms – check!
exotic skins – not yet
day-to-night flats – check!

be sure to check out the lovely 53 photos that instyle.com has posted for some great ideas (with a wide range of prices)

still not sure if i am going to get a pair of shoes in exotic skins…but as i’m sure all my friends will attest to…the other categories are fully covered…well…maybe not fully…that would mean that i don’t need anymore shoes… =)

and a girl could always use a new pair of shoes…

which shoe trend are you most excited about?
