Hey lovas, so things are picking up and looking good for From The Bottom Up. I had the pleasure of attending a special preview of the 2014 Autumn-Winter shoe collection at Hermes Thursday evening - talk about stoked, mama purchased a new cute, chic and affordable I might add, outfit just for the occasion. The preview was hosted by none other than Harpers Bazaar Magazine.

The collection was full of old world charm and lady like essence. Everything from art deco inspired heels to the infamous riding boot was on display. Because I'm different, I took my photos of the few I liked best from the funky window display.

Check 'em out...

Love the gold piping on these suede stacked heeled beauties - pops nicely against the skin.

Super cute kitten heel and love the integration of the unforgettable "H" as symbol.

The supple leather on these booties is just AHMAZING and the wine/bordeaux color is on trend for fall (check Monday's post).

Loved the tassel on these laces and surprisingly the stitched detail (which unfortunately you cannot see) on the base of the shoe - generally I despise stitching!

Life would not be complete with the perfect pair of riding boots and you just cannot lose with Hermes - at all! Love the latch style buckle, very chic.

And these dainty babes are my favs actually. The gold braided detail is stellar and just looking at these transported me in time to days of dancing all night long with feathered frocks, long strand pearls and cute shorty wavy hair cuts.

I hope you enjoyed what I've shared as much as I have enjoyed sharing and VIEWING this fabulous collection.

Until next time, heels up!

P.S. In case you were wondering what I wore....

Fit: H&M; Bag: 31 Hour Phillip Lim; Shoes: Valentino Rockstuds
