Nothing basic about these stunners... very similar to a pair of YSLs I just saw, at about the same price (a tad cheaper) and just as beautiful. I love the black slick patent leather in a flat boot, because it says "cat woman" without having to do death defying stunts (i.e. walking in stiletto boots!) I would pair these with a pair of leggings and a cute oversized sweater for fall (like a riding boot, but not.)

Desirable: Azzedine Alaia Crocodile Pumps
Since the 80s, Azzedine Alaia has been a symbol of pure elegance. His dresses are masterpieces that flatter women's figures to perfection.
His shoes are extraordinary as well, and these crocodile pumps are no exception. They are chic, sleek and timeless. They can be paired with anything.

Affordable: Sergio Rossi Adriana Round-Toe Pump
Lately it seems like Sergio Rossi is making a comeback into the spotlight, and the shoes are looking good. I like this simple pair of suede pumps enhanced by the patent platform.

Repulsive: FitFlop Aurelia Gladiator Sandal
You can talk about the benefit our legs are getting from wearing these hideous shoes all day but, I would rather be dead than caught wearing these monstrosities.

Aren’t these pumps cool? I love that the designer has combined the shape of a traditional pump with a wide leather cuff and oversized buckle. I also like the contrast of the red patent and the matte leather of the cuff.

For my 13th birthday, my grandmother gave $150. The first thing I did was run to Charles Jourdan (who at the time was one of the hottest shoe designers in Paris), and I bought a pair of electric blue peep-toe pumps.
When I came across this pair of shoes, it reminded me some fond memories. I like the elegant style, but I am not sure about the color! I love blue--don't get me wrong--but I have a difficult time thinking about what kind of outfit will look good paired with these shoes. Any suggestions?

I know, I know…another pair of black slingbacks! But trust me….you can never have too many shoes, even if they are similar! Oh wait…I’m talking to my fellow shoe goddesses…not my husband!!! Seriously, I love these shoes. They are super sexy, and there are subtle differences in these slingbacks vs. a dressier, classic shoe, like these Christian Louboutin peep-toe slingbacks (which you need too, of course!). Casual shoes like this go perfectly with jeans or a hot dress for a night out dancing!

Recently, I have been a little bummed out by the lack of fabulous shoes, either in the stores or online!!
Anyway, I managed to find these pair of Sergio Rossi patent platforms that I really like. They remind me of the long-anticipated Christian Louboutin patent stiletto wedges that I ordered weeks ago and are still backordered.
I love these shoes! The trapeze heel is actually a really good alternative to heavy wedges. It will elongate the legs in a sexy and elegant way. They will be easy to pair with any spring wardrobe.

I like the way these are described as "exaggerated platform wedges" because there actually appears to be a heel on this wedge. I think they are funky and fun and perfect for Summer. I would definitely rock these with tight skinny jeans in a fun red variety :-)

I know that I keep talking about “pops of color,” but I can’t help myself—spring and summer colors are just so pretty! I love these platform pumps. The blue hue is gorgeous, and they are very classic, so you’ll be able to wear them throughout the entire year and for longer than one season. You can pair these shoes with anything, but I really like the idea of wearing them with tans and browns. Throw on some colorful chunky jewelry, and you’re good to go!

Sergio Rossi was one of my favorite brands ten years ago, then the company was sold to Gucci and their shoes were never the same. Until Edmundo Castillo came along.
And this season it sounds like Sergio Rossi is coming back big time. I love these beautiful suede platform slingbacks; they are very much inspired by Sergio Rossi's original designs. The powder blue color adds some softness to these chic, yet trendy shoes.

It's miserably pouring over Los Angeles, and suddenly my mood turns into a wintery one. As I scroll down the internet, I find this pair of boots that I think will be perfect! I love their sleek look and warm color.
These boots will be beautiful paired with a pleated skirt, or a mini dress -- and of course with a white blouse and a simple pair of jeans. They also look soft and comfortable.
