Charlotte Olympia Raffia Wedge Sandals

Raffia always reminds me of summertime, probably because they come out in droves this time of year, but nevertheless raffia sandals equals lazy days and fruit cocktails. These Charlotte Olympia wedge sandals are fun and flirty with a slight whimsical appeal, and being neutral in color, they will have many looks perfectly put together all summer long. Pack them up for vacation and wear poolside, as well as an evening out.

Alexander McQueen Nude Skull Pumps

Alexander McQueen is one of my all time favorite brands. They have a glamour chic appeal with a healthy dose of edge. That edge is evident on these nude pumps in the form of a crystal embellished skull perched on the open toe. The skull has become a signature of the McQueen brand, however the skull varies depending on its’ headgear. This one is a punk skull sporting a spiked mohawk.

Nude pumps are a staple of summer fashion. Paired with a short hemline, they’ll elongate your legs for a super flattering, slimming effect. If you’re looking for nude pump, but want something distinctive, grab these McQueen shoes asap and look fabulous and cutting-edge chic all summer long.

Nude colored leather with gold tone and crystal skull at the open toe, these designer shoes have a leather sole and in-sole. They have gold studs along the platform, a 5 inch heel and a 1 inch platform. Alexander McQueen shoes are made in Italy. $1,130 Available here.

It’s the season of the wedge, and among the best is an offering from Jimmy Choo.

Giuseppe Zanotti Embellished Curved Wedge Sandals

Spring and Summer shoes are usually the most stand-out statement shoes, meant to be the focal point of your outfit, and paired with a short hemline for optimal exposure. For shoe lovers, this season brings out the best designs, like these intricately detailed Giuseppe Zanotti sandals. The curved wedge is nothing new, we’ve been seeing several Giuseppe designs with this architectural platform. However, this is the first with gemstone and crystal embellishments, adding a bling factor that makes the sandals all the more eye-catching. The contrasting black and aqua suede hint at the color block trend, but not so overtly you can’t wear these shoes for seasons to come. Pair with tailored shorts, a fitted T, and sun kissed skin.

Black suede ankle strap and strap at the toes contrasting the bright aqua suede wedge with gemstone and crystal embellishments, these designer shoes have an architectural curved wedge heel, a Giuseppe Zanotti signature of this seasons collection. There is an adjustable buckle closure at the ankle strap and an open toe. They have a slightly padded in sole and slip proof rubber insets on the sole. The heel measures 5.5 inches with a 1.75 inch platform. Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are made in Italy. $1,745 Available here.

Roberto Cavalli Leopard T-Strap Pumps

When it comes to my fashion sense, I’m pretty conservative with my clothing. I’m not going to sport a florescent printed dress or anything that looks “busy”, but it’s a whole other story with the accessories. I love the crazy, cool and creative, so of course these Roberto Cavalli T-strap pumps speak to me. Animal print alone says “look at me”, but paired with neon gemstones, these shoes border on garish, however if anyone can get away with tacky-chic it’s Roberto Cavalli (and Donatello).

Leopard print patent leather with neon colored gemstones accenting the T-straps, these designer shoes are showstoppers. They have an adjustable buckle closure at the ankle, a peep toe, leather sole and in-sole. The heel measures 5 inches with a 1 inch platform. $1,370 Available here.

Christian Louboutin Shoes Spring 2012

It’s a very special day for shoe lovers across the globe. One of the largest carriers for Christian Louboutin shoes just released several new styles from the Spring 2012 collection. I’m not going to tell you to act fast or they’ll be gone, you already know that.

He had already released the Meteorita Kid sandals in a pink, blue and lime version, and now we get them in lime, blue and white. The strappy sandals have a 5.5 inch heel and a 1.5 inch platform. The red, black and white Summerissima sandals are suede and leather and also have a 5.5 inch heel and 1.5 inch platform. I’m most excited about the two pumps, both the Mademoi nude pumps (because I can’t resist a Louboutin nude) and the Just Picks spike toed pumps. The latter has a modest 3.9 inch heel, but with such an amazing and kick ass design, I can look fabulous and be comfortable at the same time. Christian Louboutin shoes are here.
