Manolo Blahnik Cage Pony Slide

Kori Ellis — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 00:16:54 +0000

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.

What do you think about these Manolo Blahnik slides? Hot or not? Leave your comments here and let us know.

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

Black and White Coach Sandals

Kori Ellis — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 23:44:21 +0000

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.

Here are some of my favorite black and white patent shoes.

These shoes feature slick black patent leather and contrasting white trim. The peep-toe and slight platform make them a sexy option. You can wear these from the office to night out dancing without skipping a beat. These are $100 at Zappos.com.

L.A.M.B. Gianira Peep Toe Oxford

Chic and sophisticated, this peep-toe shoe features smooth white leather mixed with black patent for a very modern twist on the classic spectator oxford. You can get these shoes right now at Nordstrom for $325.

L.A.M.B. Daizy Pump

Another choice from L.A.M.B. (Gwen Stefani’s shoe line) is the Daizy pump, which comes in white patent leather with black trim, or black patent leather with silver trim. Either color is a very beautiful choice. These shoes are $295 at Nordstrom.com.

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.

BCBGirls Mary Janes

Kori Ellis — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 05:10:05 +0000

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.

BCBGirls Mauri

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.

BCBGirls Trip

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.

BCBGirls Tuya

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.

Kori Ellis — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 08:34:13 +0000

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.

Glamorous Gucci Shoes

Kori Ellis — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 21:18:12 +0000

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.
