And the winner of the Sake 5th Avenue 2011 Sexiest Shoe Award is..... this lace trimmed Valentino beauty!

It wasn't an easy competition, she competed against styles from Manolo Blahnik, Stuart Weitzman, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Givenchy, Gucci, Oscar de la Renta and Dior. We guess black lace just does the trick. And the way it's applied around the edges of a neutral color shoe is really beautiful.

However, the love of crystals continues as this lovely Jimmy Choo came in second:

The winner for 2009 is this Christian Louboutin stunner (for the foot and wallet at $2,445) which also included crystals.

Now, since you are probably wondering what milk & honey has to offer along these lines... we have plenty! Here are a few we think you might like.

For lace, we have "Laced", a champagne silk shoe with black lace trim:

Not short on shine, we have several glittery options. "Sparkle" offers plenty of shimmer, but is tamed slightely by pearlized leather.

Twisted is both elegant and extra comfortable with a wedge.

And to wow with crystals, we have "Firecracker"

So no excuse for not rocking the sexy shoes ladies!
