Strappy Sandals: Steve Madden Larisa Sandals
The lace-up sandal trend is everywhere right now, and we're loving the sexy style. These Steve Madden Larisa Sandals ($120) are fun and perfect for a night out. They also come in a blush tan colour as well as a vibrant purple, but we love the classic black style.
Bow Pumps: Kelly & Katie Blaken Pump
If you've been seeing shoes with sparkly, embellished bows everywhere, you're not alone. The style is cute, whimsical, and perfect for nights out. We love these Kelly & Katie Blaken Pumps ($60) because they're an affordable take on the style. They also come in pink and blue.
Sparkly Flat Sandals: Jeffrey Campbell Dressy Sandals
If you're looking for an embellished shoe, but aren't in the mood for a heel, these Jeffrey Campbell Dressy Sandals ($130) were made for you. They also come in a tan colour, but we think the black looks elegant. These will dress up any look, even jeans and a T-shirt.
Platform Sandals: Larroude Dolly Crystal Platform
These Larroude Dolly Crystal Platform ($375) sandals are what we imagine party shoes would look like. We love that they're super high, have some support in the ankle, and shine bright, even in the darkest room.
Sparkly Pumps: Nine West Trendz Pointed Toe Pump
A pump is one of our favourite shoe styles because it's timeless and elegant. These sparkly Nine West Trendz Pointed Toe Pumps ($109) make the silhouette a bit more fun, and something we'd be excited to wear on a night out. Plus, we love the metallic heel.
Sparkly Cowboy Boots: Betsey Johnson SB-Diva Rhinestones
Cowboy and western boots are going to be everywhere this fall. As much as we love a classic black style, if you want something a bit more eye-catching, look no further than these Betsey Johnson SB-Diva Rhinestones ($169) boots. We like them paired with a skirt or dress, but they'd also look cool peeking out of bootcut jeans.
Low Heels: Jeffrey Campbell Mrs Big 2
If you're looking for a colourful, unique heel that isn't sky high, pick up these Jeffrey Campbell Mrs Big 2 ($160) sandals. These shoes have a two and a half inch heel, which isn't too high but still gives a bit of a lift. Plus, we love the colourful rhinestones.
Sparkly Sneakers: Betsey Johnson Suton Highwall Bling Platform Sneaker
If you're a sneaker-lover, join the club. As much as we love our classic white sneakers and sleek black pairs, sometimes we want to add a little fun to our wardrobes. These Betsey Johnson Suton Highwall Bling Platform Sneaker ($89) is so sparkly, and they have a platform, so you can still get a little lift while remaining comfortable.
Sparkly Heels: Larroude Colette Crystal Mule
Sometimes, simple is best. That's the case for the silhouette of this Larroude Colette Crystal Mule ($315), which is super minimal, and lets the sparkles speak for themselves. If you want something sexy and sky high, this is a great shoe to add to your wardrobe.
Colourful Platform Sandals: Hill House Home The Party Platform
These Hill House Home The Party Platforms ($375) were made to go dancing. They're covered in blue rhinestones, which means they're the shoe that's going to be noticed. Everyone will ask you where you got them, and they're the whimsical, irreverent summer shoe your closet needs.
Rhinestone Loafers: Steve Madden Giorgina Rhinestones
These Steve Madden Giorgina Rhinestones ($100) loafers are what happens when practical meets whimsical. Loafers are everywhere this fall, particularly the chunkier styles with a lug sole. Adding rhinestones to the silhouette is such a fun twist, and while they may not be the best shoe for your board meeting, they're a fun way to wear rhinestones in a more casual setting.
Sparkly Over the Knee Boots: Steve Madden Sapphire Rhinestone Boots
All we have to say about these Steve Madden Sapphire Rhinestone Boots ($130) is wow. These are about as statement making as it gets, and we're completely obsessed with the idea of a sheer sparkly boot. Pick these up now, and wear them all fall long.
Clear Sparkly Pumps: Larroude Melissa Cinderella Pumps
Ever wanted to feel like Cinderella at the ball? Us, too. That's why we need these cool Larroude Melissa Cinderella Pumps ($175) ASAP. They're made of PVC material, not glass, but they certainly look like the fantasy shoe we've dreamed about. Just make sure you don't lose one!
Platform Pumps: Steve Madden Charlize-r Rhinestones
Platform pumps are having a major moment right now. They're everywhere, and while plenty of pairs that look similar to these Steve Madden Charlize-r Rhinestones ($150) shoes are going for 10 times the price, few of them are completely covered in rhinestones. These are the ultimate dancing shoes.
