*** Shoes of the Day ***
Black Heels - with Honeycomb Print Uppers
These crazy-sexy L.A.M.B. shoes serve as proof that seven straps are definitely better than one.
Available in gray, red, or black, this stunner has 4.25" heels and a pinwheel flower embellishment on the outside.
I'll admit I wasn't crazy about the floral add-on at first, and generally don't find those types of decorations sexy at all ... but, it's grown on me. And in all honesty, I'm so impressed with how these shoes look from the front, I'd probably overlook a broken doll head glued to the side.
For more of the season's hottest styles, be sure to check out the rest of my top picks in Sexy Sandals.

French Sole Sloop - Cute and Colorful Flats
This week's collection included a slew of heels in all price ranges. One of my favorite styles featured is this open-toed pump from L.A.M.B. This line has always had some really great styles, and I'm particularly impressed with their most recent collection.
Be sure to check out the rest of this week's Shoes of the Day when you get a chance.

Of all the great styles exhibited in my new Shoes of the Stars photo gallery, I'm most impressed with these multi-strap pumps worn by Leighton Meester.
Granted, I know the heels are too high for a lot of us, and most of us will never look like Leighton Meester, no matter what shoes we put on. But still, I covet them because they're versatile and sexy -- despite the fact that they're not super-skimpy, strappy sandals.
And apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks these shoes are ultra-hot. Leighton Meester is currently holding a pretty hefty lead against Gossip Girl co-star Jessica Szohr in a recent edition of Celebrity Shoe Wars.
