Pregnant Kristin Cavallari is craving shoes. Specifically, the actress craves her high heels, and just to tease her fans a bit, the mom-to-be shared her newest pair of heels on Twitter today, with the caption, “The Newest Member of My Family.”

No, it wasn’t the baby – Kristin is not due for another few months – it was a picture of her new Louboutins!

“Haha sorry for the tease! The real baby won’t be here for a few more months,” the reality star apologized via Twitter a little later.

The 25-year-old and fiancé Jay Cutler are expecting their first child to arrive this summer. Although the soon-to-be parents know the sex of the baby, they were not going to tell anyone else – until Cutler’s teammate, Earl Bennett, leaked that the couple are expecting a boy during an appearance on The Boers and Bernstein show. Oops.

High heels under $100 that look this pretty are always a fun find, especially when they are found in one of my favorite stores – Victoria’s Secret. If you are looking for a pair of inexpensive but versatile dressy shoes to wear to summer parties and such, these are worth taking a peek at.

Shimmery metallic detail paired with soft suede gives these T-Strap Platforms by Colin Stuart a sophisticated style that I think would be perfect for graduations and summer weddings.

They feature a sexy 5 1/2″ stiletto heel with a 1 3/4″ platform that will help keep you on steady ground. I could see these heels looking fantastic when worn with some black skinny jeans or with a beautiful summer dress.

Oh-la-la. Neon shoes are hot, hot, hot this year, and Betsy Johnson’s Trimm Neon Pink Pumps are simply sizzling. Have I mentioned these shoes are under $100? Loving them even more now, aren’t you??

These sexy high heels feature a Cutout butterfly design at pointed toe, a 4½” covered ‘metal look’ heel, and a sassy leopard print sole that contrasts beautifully with the hot pink shoe color.

I have read these shoes may run a bit on the small side, especially with the closed pointy toe, so you may want to order a half-size larger than normal.

Sexy and hot is what summer is all about when it comes to fashion – especially women’s shoes. Take a peek at two of my favorite picks for summer sandals this year. And take note – each pair is under $60.
 
 
 
 

Shoe Republic Iconic. The colors on these shoes make me smile. They are so pretty and cheery – who wouldn’t love wearing these retro platform sandals? Just be sure you can handle the 6″ heels on these babies! $59.99 (Heels.com)
 
 
 

 
Mia Reeba. Looking for a pair of sexy shoes for summer? You can stop searching. Mia has created one hot sandal that you will love showing off (at least I know I would.) These wedge sandals feature a sexy ankle strap with adjustable buckle, a 5 inch heel with a 2′ platform. $59.95 (Zappos.com)

In honor of Disney’s upcoming fall re-release of Cinderella on Blu-ray and DVD, Christian Louboutin is designing a glass slipper fit for a princess!

“I have been so lucky to have crossed paths with Cinderella, an icon who is so emblematic to the shoe world as well as the dream world,” Louboutin told WWD.

I can’t imagine Louboutin will create a glass shoe for us all to stroll about in – but you just never know what this king of high heels may dream up.

We will have to wait a little longer to see what Cinderella’s recreated slippers look like however – Louboutin is said to be revealing his latest creation sometime this summer.

Every woman should own a pair of black suede pumps. They are the epitome of a classic sexy shoe. Just ask Victoria Grayson (aka Madeline Stowe) from ABC’s Revenge!

If you are totally captivated by the show, as I am, then you are surely enjoying the fashion as much as the scintillating suspense going on in each delicious episode. I am really struck by the outfits Madeline gets to wear each week – the actress just looks stunning every time she is on screen.

While I wish I could wear the same outfits and look half as good as she does, I would settle for owning just one pair of the fabulous shoes Stowe struts about in while trying to stay a step ahead of Emily!

Jimmy Choo’s ‘Cosmic’ Black Suede Pumps are undeniably something Victoria Grayson would wear – in fact, I think we may have seen these shoes on the show (or a pair very, very similar.)

These feature 5-inch heels with a 1 inch heel, black suede, and an almond -shaped closed toe. Seriously classy, stylish and oozing sexiness, these high heels would be on my ‘must have list’ if I had an extra $700 to spend!

I love almost everything I see Jessica Alba wearing these days – but I especially like her fashion choices when it comes to dressing comfy and casual. Case in point: Alba’s pairing her Cobra Society “Otto” Boots with laid back outfits like jeans, tights and fun summery dresses.

Cobra Society ankle boots all have individually hand-woven multicolored embroidered wool – which means each pair of boots may have different patterns. They also feature black brushed imported leather, 2″ chunky heels, yellow stitching detail and almond – shaped toe. Available at Net-a -Porter.com ($795.)

Next to Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez seems to be enamored with her boots – specifically her Jeffrey Campbell’s “See-Stars” stiletto boots.

These star-studded leather booties feature a 4 1/2″ stiletto heel with a 1″ chunky -style platform. I think they are adorable and should be versatile to wear with shorts, skirts, skinny jeans and dresses – pretty much a year round shoe!

These Jeffrey Campbell boots are available at Nordstrom ($279.95) in black with silver stars, but take a peek at an optional look-a-like shoe from dollhouse.com:

Tiva Studded Shooties look strikingly similar in style, but use much smaller stud elements (which some of us may prefer.) Like Campbell’s ‘See-Stars,’ the Tiva’s also have a 4 1/2″ heel, with just a slightly larger 1 1/2″ platform. You will get man-made material instead of the imported leather, and an adjustable buckle strap instead of a side zipper (which I find very stylish!)

The biggest difference between these two shoes is the price tag. Tiva Studded Shooties retail for $59.00 (now on sale for $25.99!)

When Kate Middleton wore her Rupert Sanderson “Malone” high heels recently, shoe lovers everywhere raved over them. The soft gray pumps look fantastic, but unfortunately, they come with a hefty price tag – $595. Plus, since Kate was spotted wearing the fabulous pumps, they have been selling like crazy, and the suede gray style is no longer available.

But take a look at these Franco Sarto Women’s Cicero pumps. They come very close in appearance to the “Malone’ heels, but with a more attractive price tag of $89.

You can get these shoes in leather, suede, or patent uppers. They come in a great selection of styles -from black leather to red suede, and even a tan leopard print. A 4 inch heel with a hidden 1″ platform and round toe makes these reminiscent of the classic dress pump. A very pretty pair of high heels that will be a very versatile addition to my your shoe collection!
