Nicholas Kirkwood Neon Lace Pumps

Posted on February 16, 2012 by Cat


I’m not the kind of person that wears a lot of brightly colored clothing. Every once in a while I’ll wear colored jeans or shorts and maybe sport a red blouse from time to time, but in general, I add color into my wardrobe with accessories. The brighter and more eye-catching the better, especially if it’s on something small like shoes or a clutch. Naturally, I am seriously loving these Nicholas Kirkwood shoes. The neon pink and yellow clash, but somehow it makes these pumps all the more appealing to my eye. Pair with the matching bag (by a different designer), but keep the rest of your look simple, preferably all black, to let your accessories stand out.

Neon yellow leather with bright pink lace overlay and a shortend platform, these designer shoes are serious statement makers. They have leather sole and in-sole. The heel measures 5.1 inches with a .75 inch platform. $860 Nicholas Kirkwood pumps are here.

Pair with: This Azzurra Gronchi handbag is neon yellow leather with bright pink overlay and gold tone hardware. It has a front flap with turn lock closure. $433 Azzurra Gronchi handbag is here.

Giuseppe Zanotti Cuved Wedge Nude Pumps

Posted on February 15, 2012 by Cat

I absolutely love nude pumps, they go with everything and they’re extremely flattering to any figure. They elongate our legs, making us look thinner, and who doesn’t love that? A nude pump is a nude pump, though, and it’s hard to put a unique twist on the design without eliminating their versatility. However, Giuseppe Zanotti made a fantastic, distinctive design with an element that sets it apart from your traditional nude pump. The curved wedge is a trademark of the Zanotti Spring 2012 collection, and is the distinctive element on this shoe.

This wedge shoe is eyecatching from the side, but also from the back with the contrasting black seam. But if drawing attention to your rear view is daunting, rest assured the 4.25 pitch in your arches will make your butt look perkier.

Nude colored leather slingback pumps with a peep toe and curved wedge heel, these designer shoes are statement shoes you can actually wear. They have leather lining, in-sole and sole. The wedge heel measures 5.75 inches with a 1.5 inch platform. Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are made in Italy. $895 Giuseppe Zanotti Wedge Pumps

Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Spikes

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Cat

Here today…gone today. We all know Christian Louboutin junkies pounce when a new design is released, or even a classic design, but the rate these Lady Peep Spikes have sold out is ridiculous. They were released on-line this morning…and 5 hours later they’re almost completely sold out. There are a few sizes left, but if you’re a 37 (like moi) forget it.

The red soled shoes are always coveted, but the Lady Peep Spikes in gold is extra special. This shoe has bad ass chic written all over it. I would totally max out my budget to have these beauties in my closet, not that I could ever get my hands on a pair….

Black leather with gold spiked studs and a peep toe, the Lady Peeps have a leather in-sole and signature red sole. The heel measures 6 inches with a 1.75 inch platform. $1,395 Christan Louboutin is at mytheresa.com.

Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal Wedge Pumps

Posted on February 13, 2012 by Cat

Giuseppe Zanotti clearly has no fear of overkill, nope, not with these ultra-blinged out wedge pumps. As someone who loves anything and everything shiny, I wholeheartedly agree. But these shoes are more than just blinged out. With Aurora Borealis crystals that change color in shades of pink and light green when they hit the light, they’re literally like strobe lights on your feet.

These shoes are so attention grabbing I don’t even know what you would pair them with? A LDB seems too conservative and obviously anything casual like denim is out. I’m thinking a short hemline, for sure, but tailored shorts or a dress? What would you wear with these?

Silver leather covered with AB crystals on a curved wedge heel, these designer shoes have a thin ankle strap and an open toe. They have leather lining, a slightly padded in sole for comfort and rubber insets on the sole to prevent slipping. The heel measures 5.5 inches with a 2 inch platform. Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are made in Italy. $1,975 Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are here.
