Designer spotlight has been on pause for couple weeks due to my floating around the city for fashion week and the like, but we're back with fierce and fury with our shoe artisan of the week, Paul Andrew. The luxury shoe designer is no amateur when it comes to shoe design. Having spent over a decade honing his design craft at major fashion houses such as Alexander McQueen and Donna Karen, and being awarded Accessories Designer of the Year in 2013, Paul Andrew is quickly becoming a fixture on the scene. 

Coveted by the fashion glamourai, his designs have a unique point of view and should not be seen on the feet of the fashion faint of heart. From scalloped red suede pumps, over the knee suede and patent leather stiletto boots to mixed media sandals, his collection covers the gamut. 

If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself. Click through the below gallery for the latest and greatest from his Fall 2014 collection. Suffice it to say, his name will soon become synonymous with fierce style.

Can't wait to have add a few of these bad boys to my collection. You can find Paul Andrew at the following: Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys, Neiman Marcus, Jeffrey, Nordstrom, Cece Shoes et al. Check www.paulandrew.com for more stockists. 

Ciao bellas.

Walk Pretty!

Designer Spotlight: Phillip Lim

Every other Wednesday, FTBUP will publish Designer Spotlight. The series will feature my fav shoe designers and more. 

With that said, we're kicking off the series with the incredible Phillip Lim. The 2007 CFDA Emerging Talent in Womenswear winner has been serving up some sleek, sexy and structured designs on a platter! 

Check out some 'stomp & shout' worthy pieces from his previous AND current collections...

I purchased these bad boys a couple of weeks ago and cannot wait to put them on. Girls, dreams really do come true. 


Also a part of my P. Lim collection is the Alec Half D'Orsay Pump. Such a sexy sleek shape that can be worn for work or play. 

P.S. If you wear a size 39 = 8 these babes are currently on sale at Blue and Cream!

And because I LOVE a great bag, of course I had to have the 31 Hour. It's sheer bag perfection and fits all my necessities and more. 

And now for the wish list...
