There's something so deliciously naughty about peep toe heels - add patent leather (in red!) and the sexiness quotient of these shoes just goes through the roof! That is why we'd probably never wear these Stuart Weitzman heels with a miniskirt or even tight jeans - it's just too obvious. But adding these to a more demure outfit? Now you're talking!

Last week the Wall Street Journal continued their groundbreaking coverage of shoes.

In this latest installment reporter Christina Binkley did a comparison of several expensive high heels that are purported to be "comfortable."

After a post on one of the seasons hottest trends -- gladiator sandals -- StyleList received the following comment:

Not sure what to wear with my new gladiator sandals. They come up to the knee, and they're the Stuart Weitzman gold ones. Sharp!

I'm just not there yet. Flats are all over the place, and I realize that they are that amazing and rare combination of fashionable and functional, but I'm just not at a point where I can give up 4-5" heels yet, unless I'm working out (and I don't work out).

However, I am getting close, and when I do get there, Stuart Weitzman's Swak are probably the pair I'll try. They're my favorite color in shoes, neutral, and feature metallic hardware both on the rounded-toe and the heel. Maybe I like them just because they're not totally flat -- they have a 1" heel (which, to me, is essentially flat anyway).

Available from Zappos for $260.

We've covered Stuart Wetizman's shoes before, now the designer has moved into the handbag arena. It's big news since Weitzman has previously only created a couple of limited edition bags and has been dedicatedly shoe-obsessed. The new handbag division features bags that are made in Spain and feature details such as metallic and hand-painted detailing. The first offering is this Cargo Tote, which is 15" wide by 10" tall and has three inside pockets and an inside zip pocket. More styles will hit the stores in January but you can reserve this one for $495 on the Stuart Weitzman website now. I'll reserve judgment until I see the rest of the line, but so far it doesn't make my heart go pitter-pat.

It's the height of summer, which means you're probably wearing flip flops (I just can't get myself to say "thongs" unless I'm talking about underwear) every day. But honey, those black and blue Reefs from your trip to Baja three summers ago aren't going to cut it. Here are seven Styledash picks for flip-flops through the week:

Sunday - It's a backyard BBQ with 50 of your closest friends, and you've got on daisy dukes, a halter top, and barely-retro wooden heeled thongs

Monday - Off to work at your California casual office that's clean under your slacks, and still has a not-so-flipfloppy feel with a strap around the heel.

Tuesday - Play hooky and go to the beach in flat, simple straw flipflops you can throw in a matching straw beach tote, and won't feel bad about throwing away at the end of the summer when they're all torn up (2 for $12!)

Wednesday - Big meeting with the big boss means a linen pantsuit and a simple, sophisticated sandal that's still comfortable so you're not wincing up there during the presentation.

Thursday - After the gym, rubber soled flip flops that are pretty enough to throw on and run over to Pinkberry for some from frozen yogurt

Friday - Gotta look like a sex kitten for a hot date with that MySpace guy. Lace up around ankles says "hot."

Saturday - Girls' night out on the town? That's phat and phlirty, baby.

I don't care what you say, a clog is a clog. Even the word "clog" screams utterly frumpy librarian to me (no offense to the librarians out there, I just had a really bad one in grade school).

Clogs are what cute eight year old Dutch children with rosy cheeks wear. Clogs are the giant wooden shoes that fly through the air at Disneyland and make you throw up. Clogs are those ridiculous neon Caltrans highway worker orange rubber things that Mario Batali plods through the streets of Roma in. Clogs, I'm sorry, will never be sexy to me.

So I have no idea why show designers think that adding height to the heel and few flashy accents will make them any better. Stuart Weitzman has clogs for the fall season for over $200.

Now it's just an expensive pair of clogs.
