As you probably know, leopard (and other animal) prints are really hot in fashion right now. Whether its a leopard dress or a zebra print clutch, we are seeing the animal influence everywhere. If you like the leopard prints but think they are oftentimes “too much”, then look for pieces with just a touch of the exotic patterns. These Giuseppe Zanotti platforms fit the bill with their leopard heel.

Though I’m not sure I’d drop over a grand on these Giuseppe Zanotti sandals, they are definitely worth a look. Created from black silk and accented with Swarovski crystals, these are certainly stunning. These sandals have lots of interesting details. Outside of the crystals and jewels, they have zipper up the back and adjustable ankle strap.
Even if I had the cash, I’m not sure I could wear these. I’d be so afraid of damaging them. I’m pretty hard on shoes in general; I can’t imagine what I would do if I ruined thousand dollar shoes on my first night out.

From a distance, I just loved these shoes. Close up? They are just too weird for me.

A silver metal crystal-encrusted fishbone accessory creates the T-strap of these shoes. Though it’s beautiful and delicate … it’s shaped like a fishbone!
I love the black satin combined with the stacked stiletto and all the glitz, but I just can’t get over the fish design. Maybe if they chopped off the head, I’d feel better!
