From our friends at thefind.com:
As one of the world’s most recognizable supermodels, Alessandra Ambrosio is used to wearing gravity-defying heels on the runway… or, as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, no shoes at all. But she’s putting her hidden designer talents to a good use towards a much comfier shoe purpose – a capsule collection for Melissa! Known for their high-end, comfortable rubber footwear that extends far beyond the tried-and-true jelly sandal, the UK brand has teamed up with Ale to create festive versions on the Incense heel and Divine flats, just in time for the 2012 holiday season! Fun, girly, ultra-shiny, this cutesie bow flats and glittery pumps are inspired by the model’s own personal day-to-night style and her love for wearing Melissa shoes while growing up (the brand is over 40 years old!). The flats are great for dressing up a casual look, while the glittery pumps are perfect for a party where you need to sparkle and stand out! Check them out on the official Melissa site!

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show aired this Wednesday, and as always, it gave us motivation to go to the gym, and showed us how to spice up our lingerie with random items like flowered lattice! Perhaps this is why the craft queen, Martha Stewart was in the audience.
This year one of the most prominent trends on the glittering runway was greek goddess meets Xena Warrior Princess. Adriana Lima sported arm cuffs, Karolina Kurkova wore a leather half-corset, and most of the models’ legs were laced up with ribbons. This style was a departure from the typical cute and glitzy looks seen in previous years.
Of course if the Victoria Secret models were to be any sort of actual Greek warrior, it would most likely be Athena. Cue the long and flowing sheer drapery — Miranda Kerr’s gold leaf necklace, and Alessandra Ambrosio’s gold wings. Still, no Victoria Secret Fashion Show would be complete without Heidi Klum strutting around with a giant, twinkling, pink bow attached to her back! But our favorite part of the show? Watching Marisa Miller cure her pre-show nerves with a chocolate glazed doughnut! We loved watching silly backstage moments like these amidst the runway footage. It showed us that maybe we’re not so different from angels afterall!
