I think this Giambattista Valli Linen Platform Sandal is incredibly sexy, but still flirty and fun. I love the linen. It’s perfect for spring and summer!

Because these shoes can tend to look on the stripper side with the thick platform, I’d pair them with a really simple dress. This Dior Cotton Pique Dress is a perfect choice!

I loved the sneak peek we saw of the Giambattista Valli Spring Collection, and I have been waiting to be able to purchase them. Normally I wouldn’t think I would like a white lace pump, but this pump is gorgeous. The style takes what might’ve been a sweet shoe, and transforms it into something incredibly sexy. I really love the combination of the pointed toe and demi-platform. The only downside to these shoes is that I would worry about getting them dirty. So be careful with them!

These shoes will be easy to pair. I think they’d look great with dark denim or a pretty, structured dress. I wouldn’t pick anything too frilly or lacy because it will be overkill.

I fell in love with a crocodile platform pump from Giambattista Valli a few weeks ago, and perusing the Giambattista Valli Spring Ready-to-Wear collection we’ll see more of those fabulous platforms!

I’m really impressed with these shoes. I do prefer my shoes to have platforms. They’re just undeniably more comfortable especially with super high heels, but I like how unique and sexy the platforms of these Giambattista Valli shoes are. I love all the selections below, but I’d have to say the black pump with paillettes is my favorite. Photos courtesy of Style.com.
