This week's Designer Spotlight goes to the indelible, vivacious and enthusiastic Ruthie Davis - have you seen her instagram?! One of my BFF's put me on to this woman and her delicious shoe collection about two years ago and I've been in love with them and HER ever since.

If you scroll a few pages back, you'll see my post of the hottest sales of the season where I featured the Ruthie Davis brand and touted her for creating 'platform perfection'. Ms. Davis began creating shoes in 2006 after a notable career in the fashion and footwear business. Her knack for design and her business acumen allowed her to quickly rise to the top of the shoeuniverse. In most recent shoenews, she became a member of the CFDA and her infamous "Odyssey" heels created for Queen Bey will be featured in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - not bad huh!

I won't go into too much detail because we keep things light and fun at From The Bottom Up, but some of these major accomplish could not go without mention. Without further-ado, see my favs from her collection...

The Stefani. Knee high caged sandal zipups that I'd rock in 30 degree weather with a pair of denim shorts and an overcoat. They are worth the freeze!

The Ashlee. An all time favorite I have yet to add to my shoe collection. Perfect pop of coral to jazz up an outfit in summer or fall.

Kelly. A classic pump with a kick. The two-tone patent leather shoe goes with any outfit and look comfy as all get out. Love the wedge like detail of the heel too. Killer!

The Levan. Not your average mary jane. This 5.5 inch stunner is less school girl and more grown woman. The colored heel is fun and plays perfectly into the navy blue. Can't wait to own a pair.

Joanne. I first noticed these on Ruthie Davis' Instagram and instantly fell in love! Just looking at them make me want to bring out my inner stripper! The lucite heel is super playful and the cuff like ankle strap adds uniqueness. Needless to say, I want...no I NEED these now!

All shoes are avail at www.ruthiedavis.com.

Happy Shoepping lovas.

p.s. the Ashlee, Kelly and Levan are all currently on sale ;0)!!

p.p.s i can't wait to get into her shoe studio to interview her for Shoe Stories!

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...
