Style File: Pump It Up

Shoes, glorious shoes!

I think my heart literally skipped a beat when I read on shoppingthetrend.com that pumps were in for Fall 2008:

"Get ready for some fabulous pumps for Fall 2008 - the overall look you want to achieve is strong & solid (we will stop short of saying "Statement" yet again!). From a variety of colors to a coss-section of interesting shapes, there will be something for everyone.

Fall/Winter 2008 also sees the welcome return of suede, in more than just basic black. Choose heather gray, soft purple, or even chocolate/cognac shades. You will also be wearing your new fall pumps with opaque tights this season (in any color you like!) - tights with suede strikes the right balance.

If you find some of the trendy sky-high heels a little too agressive for your everyday shoe look, opt for a more menswear-inpired pump. Something with laces and chunkier heel, which will also look great with minimalist suits." [Source]

Here are some of my favorites! What say you all? Are you ready to pump it up for Fall?
