These pretty platform pumps from Christian Louboutin are blooming for spring. They feature black floral lace over pale pink satin. These shoes are a versatile choice, as opposed to a more colorful floral print. You can wear these peep-toe pumps with almost anything in your wardrobe.
Christian Louboutin shoes are definitely a huge splurge (these are priced at $995 at Neiman Marcus). However, if you are going to wear them often, a pair of high quality, designer shoes can be a good investment.

Normally when I see cork pumps, they look a little drab. However, these from Jean-Michel Cazabat are anything but dull. They feature a little bit of sparkle infused into the cork uppers.
Priced at $595 from Barneys CO-OP, these peep-toe pumps have gold metallic trim and a 4-inch ombre heel. These shoes are sparkly enough for evening wear, but not so gaudy that you can’t also wear them to work.
If you are looking for something a little bit different, the Jean-Michel Cazabat Opium pump is a terrific alternative.

Is it a peep-toe pump? Is it a fringed boot? Who knows, but it’s definitely ugly.
Though I’m a huge fan of Christian Louboutin and understand the marketing need for “shock value” shoes at times, this one is just a monstrosity. The bottom portion of the boot looks your typical camel suede peep-toe pump, but then it breaks out into a shaft. And a fringed shaft at that.
Priced at $1,695, the Christian Louboutin Fringe Cutout Boot is available at Neiman Marcus.
So tell me Shoe Blitz readers… would you wear it? Even if it were free? Not me.
