I love these Nicholas Kirkwood shoes both for their architectural allure as well as the cream color. Although cream is a rather mute, neutral color, it’s a very eye catching color in shoes. Typically shoes are a darker color because of the dirt factor, so light colored shoes are very noticeable, and that’s a great thing when your wearing like these booties. Check out the detail in the picture below.

They are cream colored peep toe platform booties with a back zipper closure on heel. They have straps of contrasting leather texture on top with oversized stitch detailing. The wood optic high heel measures 5 inches with a 1 inch sculptural platform. Leather upper, in-sole, and sole. $1,006 at Mytheresa.com

I LOVE these Giuseppe Zanotti shoes. It’s one of his latest releases and reminds me a bit of what he did for Balmain last fall, but more structured. These would be perfect with capri’s, no?

These sandals are adorned with various sized gold and silver beads, and a string of grey pearls along the toes. They zip up in the back and have a 4.25 inch heel. $1, 360. Big selection of Giuseppe Zanotti shoes at Endless.com.

You guys know I love Alexander McQueen shoes, with one small detail he made this simple black pump a rocker chic accessory. I hope the brand keeps the skull part of his signature style, although it’s a bit telling of his thoughts and eerie considering his end.

The shoe is a black leather pump with a 4.5 inch heel and a .5 inch platform. The crystal and silver tone skull sits atop the small open toe. $879 at zappos.com.

Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are among my favorites because his designs are always stylish and flattering, never any of that ugly ‘artistic’ pieces. These sequined and beaded sandals are among the latest releases and feature both silver and gold tone hardware, so they can be worn with almost anything, and yes that includes a casual look like demin and simple t. In fact, sometimes that’s my favorite look for dressy sandals.

They have a leather insole and leather lining and have a 4 inch gold tone heel. $1,095 at zappos.com.

When I first laid eyes on these Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, I wasn’t sure I liked them. The concept is great, crystal covered, open toe, ankle boots, but the multi color….hmmm. However, seeing them on a model, I absolutely love them. They look fabulous with black leggings or a LBD.

They are black leather and embellished with colored crystals. They have a 4.5 inch silver heel. $1,250, Available at Endless.com, along with lots of new Giuseppe styles.

Nicholas Kirkwood shoes are among my favorites, because they are always interesting designs, and usually feature fabulous cut outs and colors.

The laces are a shimmering green that match the metallic green studs on the ankle strap. They have a 4 inch heel. $1,080 at Mytheresa.com

I LOVE these Alexander McQueen shoes! So very cute/sexy. The ‘lips’ theme was one of the last McQueen was working on, and designed a fabulous clutch around the symbol, similar to what he did with the skull clutch.
