Though I’m a big Manolo Blahnik fan, I’m not sold on these black and white slides from the Spring Collection. Featuring a high vamp and cage-link design, these shoes are definitely unique. I’m just not sure they are that attractive.

The Manolo Blahnik “Habibi” has a 4 1/2-inch heel and a peeptoe. The black leather lacing is intricate, but might not look that great when there’s a foot in it.

If you love these shoes, you can order them now at Neiman Marcus for $1,100.

Black and White Coach Sandals

This spring look for shoes in all types of patterns - from florals to animal prints to abstracts. These black and white sandals from Coach feature an artsy print.
To kick things up a notch, you can also get them in a coral/pink combination instead of the black and white.
Another popular trend in spring shoes is the ankle wrap tie like in these sandals. Ankle ties give sandals a boho appeal.
You can get these print Coach sandals right now at Nordstrom for $288. The same print is also available in a slingback pump and a casual wedge.

Shoes that feature both black and white are very versatile. You can wear them year round with almost anything. And when you can find them in shiny patent leather, they are simply gorgeous.
Here are some of my favorite black and white patent shoes.

Enzo Angliolini Brean Patent Slingback

Another black and white slingback that is sure to please is this shoe from Enzo Angiolini. It features a white heel and trim, along with sleek black patent leather.

I feel like I have been neglecting Manolo Blahnik lately. Here’s one of my new favorites.

You will be pretty in polka dots in these black and white dotted shoes. The Manolo Blahnik Pointed-Toe Sandals feature dotted cotton and solid white patent leather trim.
The keyhole vamp and little bow are just adorable. I also love the orange inner lining and the slingback style.

These shoes are simply gorgeous. The Alexander McQueen striped leather pump features a unique black and ivory striped pattern across the toes and around the heel.

BCBGirls Mary Janes

Some of my favorite Mary Janes are from BCBGirls. Here are three of my favs in black and white. I like BCBGirls because they are both stylish and affordable.

This platform peep-toe Mary Jane features white patent leather accented with black trim. The 4-inch high heel and curvy qualities make this shoe a very feminine choice. Get it at Lord & Taylor for $110. It also comes in red.

This shoe is a trip, alright. Instead of the Mary Jane strap across the middle of the shoe, it’s across the vamp instead. This platform heel features slick black patent leather combined with stark white for a great look. It’s also $110 and Lord & Taylor.

This Mary Jane is mostly black with some pewter details. Like the other two choices, it features a nice 4-inch high heel. These also come in a natural calf with charcoal accents, which is a nice change of pace. You can get these at Shoebuy.com for $109.95. A brown version is available for $79.99.

This black and white peep-toe pump is really hot. The Arturo Chiang Oceana features black perforated patent leather complemented with a white toe cap and white heel.

I love the look of this shoe! And as black and white shoes continue to be popular, this one will definitely get some attention.
Not only is it beautiful, it’s also affordable. The Arturo Chiang Oceana pump is available at Lord & Taylor for $120.

Gucci makes some extremely glamorous shoes. And though they may not be suited for everyday wear, every woman looks great in Gucci for special occasions.
Here are some of my favorite glamorous Gucci shoes that are available right now.
Gucci Hollywood High Heel Sandal - $595 from Neiman Marcus

How could you NOT love this shoe!? It comes in a fabulous black and white leopard print satin and features Swarovski crystal detailing right above the peep-toe. They also have a similar shoe with a slightly different style in both the same print and solid grey at Saks Fifth Avenue. See the pictures below.


Gucci Bacall High Heel Sandal - $585 from Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus

Though I wouldn’t call these shoes a “sandal,” but Gucci does. They are black patent leather with contrasting white suede. I love the thin heel and the overall look of these shoe, which also feature a little peep-toe. In addition to black and white, they also come in green and black. I’m a big fan of green, so I’ve added these to my wish list.
