Even with summer's banana platform heels and cork wedges long gone, there's still plenty of choices for sky high fun for fall with the season's latest lineup of metallic wedge heels! Metallics are a top trend this season, and it's easier than ever to pull off the look with some simple gold, silver, or pewter accessories. When you want to up the shine factor on any outfit, gold or silver shoes are a simple step toward a glamorous look. Here's a quick roundup of some of the hottest trends in metallic wedges for the fall season:
Gucci Gold Metallic Leather Wedges
Super-soft leather and a cute peep-toe wedge make this pair from Gucci a must-have for Fall. While it's a little on the pricier side, it's definitely a look worth snagging for a holiday party or just a night on the town. Pair it up with a matching clutch, gold hair accessories, and a little black dress!
Diba Penne Wedge Sandals
You'll enjoy strutting your stuff like a Greek goddess-to-be in these gorgeously golden Diba Penne wedge sandals. The buckle and straps wrap around your feet for full support. These work great with the season's leggings or minidresses.
Na Na 'Hale' Wedge
For something strikingly different, pull on this pair of polished Mary-Jane style wedges. The Na Na Hale Wedge is equipped with a thick ankle strap (to make sure you don't fall out of them), while the 4"+ heel offers plenty of height. Pair these metallic wedges with wide-leg pants, knee-length skirts, or your favorite wrap dress.
Miztify Peep Toe from Steven by Steve Madden
When you're ready to chill out in silver for your metallic fix, the Miztify Peep Toe heels from Steve Madden are sure to fit the bill. This very ladylike pair offer plenty of comfort and shine when paired with a simple black turtleneck dress or just to dress up a pair of darkwash denim jeans.
Metallic wedges give you the comfort of heels without the extra stress on your knees. Since you've got some extra support to trot around on those sky-high peep toes or round-toed shoes, it's much easier to enjoy the 'extra mileage' at the next party or get-together!
It seems that oversized totes are leading the designer handbag pack this season, and while summer canvas bags and hobos helped us wrap things up in high style, the fall season offers a fresh take on metallics, patent leather, and giant suede satchels. Take a look at these bags inspired by those that celebrities have been seen sporting, then round up your own set of coveted bags:
Black Is Back For Your Fav Shopper!
Kate Moss has shown us that oversized black leather can provide both form and function this season. Her Mulberry Bayswater bag might be out of your budget, but you can still carry this stellar trend forward with a patent leather version instead! Up that gloss factor with this Crystalyn Kae Metier Square shopper:
It's a tote with a unique shape and structure, but it will give you a chance to carry everything you need with a convenient and casual look.
A Little Per-Suede-ing from Max New York
Sarah Jessica Parker has been spotted adding a touch of suede to the mix with her Givenchy Bettina Satchel. Satchels work great for those casual days when you need to trek across town or run some shopping errands. Pick up this suede number from Max Nadine New York to get a Fall-worthy look that's sure to turn some heads!
The suede satchel features an alligator-leather style trim and plenty of room to carry your day's worth of goods in style. Pick out a rich burgundy or black if beige will dull down your outfit this season.
Big and Bold in Red Totes
Red is BIG this season, and Anne Hathaway's Tory Burch T Tote is the perfect example of a carryall that can keep you organized and fashionable at the same time! Get your own look with the Fossil Sedona Tote.
The summer's jelly and animal print ballet flats are long gone, so it's time to deck the halls and add some sparkle and shine to the mix! Metallics are BIG this season, and you can easily pick up a pair of silver or gold flats to finish off any basic outfit. From rhinestone embellishments and crinkled leather, to rich velvet gray and burnt gold finishes, here are just a few of the hottest finds for fall:
Jessica Simpson Alexa Shoe
These Jessica Simpson Alexa flats are perfect for when you want to dress up your outfit for the night, without turning to high-heeled pumps or sandals.

Staying comfortable and stylish just got easier!
Guess Foxylee Flats
Crinkled leather is a top trend this season, and you'll find it in everything from handbags and wallets to booties and flats. This pair of Foxylee Flats by Guess gives you a chance to stay comfortably chic for a night on the town, and perfectly polished with a round close toe and rhinestone embellisment. The smooth leather-like lining gives you a soft and luxurious look for a stellar outfit!
Michael Kors Open Toe Flat
A few dainty touches are all that's needed on a simple open-toe flat. This pair by Michael Kors offers a rich leather finish in burnt gold. It's a great substitute for a stiletto heel when you want to save your knees, and can be paired with a knee-length skirt, cropped pants, or just a simple dress this season.
Linea Paolo 'Norene' Flat
Sweet in silver and with an authentic ballet toe, the Linea Paolo 'Norene' Flat is a nice addition to the gray, silver, and even white this season. The quilted leather adds some texture, and a simple bow pulls it all together. The small heel also offers a little support for extended partying hours; and when comfort is a top priority, this one's a great match that also keeps you fashionably stylish in a shimmering metallic.

Although you won't have to cast aside those skinny jeans just yet, this upcoming fall season is begging for a pair of super-wide, flare leg jeans. The bell bottom looks of the 70s are back in action this season, and thankfully you've got plenty of choices to round out your wardrobe with! High-waisted skinny jeans aren't ideal for all body types, but the simple flare-leg can lengthen your legs for that coveted model-like look; they also look great with a pair of wedge heels or platform peep-toes that are a top trend this season! Here's a roundup of the top three picks we've stumbled across:
Seven Wide Leg Jeans
The Seven Wide Leg Jeans are great for a classic and simple look that is right in line with the season's hottest trends. The jeans are just the right mix of cotton and spandex, and available in a dark wash that easily pairs with the greys, blacks, and the camel color palette this fall. The 35" inseam gives you some extra length to pair this up with your favorite heels, and the zippered detailing adds a cool and chic touch.
Joe's Jeans: Wide Leg Muse

This 5-pocket wide leg style features tiny welt detailing on the back pockets and a 3" hem at the wide legs for a clean and chic effect.

These are great for dressier occasions, paired with a sequin blouse or camisole for a night on the town! Side creases and the exaggerated flare leg can flatter almost any figure, and the simple clasp closure and banded waist finish these off to become your new favorite pair.
