Giuseppe Zanotti Curved Wedge Sandals

The warm weather seasons dominate wedge shoes, but who want to be another face in the crowd with a plain wedge when you can stand out with the Giuseppe Zanotti curved wedge sandals. Obviously it’s the silhouette that’s most striking on these shoes, but the vivid purple suede further adds to the “wow” factor. While these aren’t a typical day to night shoe, they will be fabulous during the day or for a casual evening out (and we like to look fabulous even when we’re going casual).

Purple suede with a natural wood curved wedge, these designer shoes are stature enhancing delights. With a leather sole and in-sole, these sandals will put you up over half a foot, 6.25 inches with a 1.75 inch platform. Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are made in Italy. $895 Available here.

Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Slingback Pumps

Colorblock pumps are all the rage this season, but with the multitude of colors you can’t wear them with a lot of looks, but these Christian Louboutin slingback Lady Peep pumps are on trend and neutral. Sure, the white platform puts them in the Spring/Summer category, but they’re highly versatile and will be a sheer delight to wear all during the warm weather seasons.

The Lady Peeps are on of Christian Louboutin’s most popular designs, because as he says himself, every lady needs a peep toe pump. I totally agree, but would add “every lady needs a Christian Louboutin peep toe pump”.  This shoe will put you up there, about half a foot, but it’s the optimal heel to showcase the signature red sole.

Nude colored patent leather with a white patent leather platform, these designer shoes have a slingback ankle strap. They have a black patent leather heel, a leather in-sole and signature red sole. The heel measures 6 inches with a 1.25 inch platform. Christian Louboutin shoes are hand made in Italy. $945 Christan Louboutin shoes are here.

Alejandro Ingelmo Strappy Ankle Boots

I love nude colored footwear… pumps, sandals, boots or ankle boots, doesn’t matter. They all have the same leg elongating effect, and the higher the heel, the longer my legs will look. So naturally I’m obsessed with these nude colored Ajejandro Ingelmo ankle boots. While I would usually shy away from a 5.5 inch heel, these have a 1.5 inch platform for a more modest 4 inch pitch, and the sturdy wedge heel is much easier to walk in than a 5.5 inch stiletto. Translation: I could wear these after a few cocktails and not fall and break an ankle.

Nude colored shiny patent leather with suede trim, these designer shoes are a sandal/ankle boot hybrid. While they have the look of an ankle boot, the strappy upper will keep your feet cool in hot weather. They have rubber inserts on the sole to hinder slipping. Wear with a short hemline for ultimate leg elongating effect. $973 Alejandro Inglemo shoes are here.

Opposites attract and this Spring 2012 they are coming at you in the form of pink and red silk pumps from Charlotte Olympia. If you’re looking for a red pump, but want something a little different, look no further.

Red and bright pink satin pumps, these designer shoes are the perfect accessory to make a look stand out. They have a 6 inch heel and while the 1.5 inch shelf platform adds height to the shoe, it also allows for better viewing the spectacular Charlotte Olympia Spiderweb logo. $898 Charlotte Olympia pumps are here.

Versace Platform Sandals Spring 2012

There’s nothing subtle about Versace, whether it’s Donatello’s use of bright neon colors, her seriously skimpy ready-to-wear, or towering platform heels like these sandals from the Spring 2012 collection. Sometimes her designs can border on gawdy, but this season she hit the right tone with an innovative and flattering collection. That includes the shoes, however it’s going to be a bit tricky to actually wear them without breaking an ankle. The Versace Spring 2012 shoes have heels that start at 7 inches. That’s right, 7 inches.

I don’t know about you, but I have problems wearing a 5.5 inch heel, so 7 inches is damn near impossible. It’s a shame too, because these sandals are fantastic. The platform has a layered cut out, so it almost looks like the foot is hovering above the heel and platform. These sandals obviously aren’t made for walking, but I could manage getting out at the valet, walking (carefully) to a table where I will sit sideways to show off my fabulous shoes, drinking lightly so as not to have to teeter to the restroom, then using my husband as a crutch to walk back to the valet.

Gold leather strappy sandals with gold acetate and black patent-leather trims, these designer shoes have a open almond toe and buckle-fastening slingback strap. They have a 7 inch heel and a 2.5 inch platform. Versace shoes are made in Italy. $1,343 Vaersace shoes 2012 are here.
