Nearly all the shows have walked and we've picked our favorites (Marc Jacobs, Calvin's dresses) and have to live with the fact that beige is back. But if there's one thing that can distract us from such a dreary color palette, it's accessories. Nothing makes us happy — like unicorns-prancing-on-rainbows happy — quite like shoes. And this season's heels are dazzlers: skyscraper-high, super-sexy, and all-in-all, heavenly. From Rodarte to Phillip Lim, we had plenty to pick from. But we had to narrow it down. Our favorites so far come from Mr. Fashion Week, Marc Jacobs, who gave us strappy heels; Oscar de la Renta, whose red-and-cream heels may get us to not hate the off-white color family; and Derek Lam, with his futuristic heels. Let's just hope the model got that bruise before wearing them.
