I’m Loving Nanette Lepore

Star Stevenson — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:00:23 +0000

What I love about designer Nanette Lepore’s clothing line is the immense amount of utter femininity and sophistication in her designs, especially the dresses. Looking at her clothing always makes me grateful to be a girl, heh. This also applies when I come across her shoes.

The Nanette Lepore Lovin You shoes are so fabulously retro yet modern. I adore the flirty bow on the back! These shoes will stand apart from a crowd and that crowd won’t be able to help looking at you when you walk away. The peep toe is classic while the fun cut outs on the sides are sexy.

The colour is quite pretty too, the combination of gold and black give these platform pumps a cool, dressy feel. The heel is high at 4 3/4″ but the platform is 1/2″ so really it’s only a bit over 4″, not too bad for those of you who are used to walking in 4″ heels. If you’re not, these Nanette Lepore shoes are a great excuse to start practicing!

Do you love them? You can pick them up at Piperlime for $350, they’re also part of the “Rachel Zoe’s Picks” so you know these are a must-have for sure!

Shiny, slick red patent pumps

Kori Ellis — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 09:55:15 +0000

Here are three more affordable choices in red pumps. These shoes are all available at Dillards.com. The shiny patent leather will add a touch of glamour to any outfit. All three pairs are very affordable!

Gianni Bini “Metro”

This red patent leather peep-toe has a sexy cut-out side. It’s priced at only $69. This shoe is also available in black patent and brown croc-embossed leather.

Antonio Melani “Jem”

This shoe features a different vamp that is more like a thick strap rather than your traditional peep-toe. The slick red patent leather shoe is just $89. It comes in patent animal print as well.

Arturo Chiang “Oliva”

I simply adore this shoe. The red patent leather is contrasted with black piping, sole and heel. I love the slingback style and sophisticated look. These shoes are $120. They are also available in black patent and white embossed leathers, trimmed in silver.

Via Spiga Riser Metallic Peep-Toe Platform Pump

Kori Ellis — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 07:36:02 +0000

Via Spiga makes some of my favorite shoes but I’m not convince about these …

Here we have an interesting metallic peep-toe pump. This shoe features a pewter metallic embossed leather upper combined with a wooden platform and heel. And though I love the square toe and the shape of the heel. I am not sold on the wood. It cheapens the look.

If you like these, however, you should jump at the chance at getting them right now from SmartBargains.com.

Normally near $200, the Via Spiga Riser Metallic Peep-Toe Platform Pump is just $69.98.

Get them while you can – there are only a few pairs left!

Via Spiga Duet Patent Pumps

Kori Ellis — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:30:11 +0000

I always love it when I find a pair of pumps that have a unique element to them, rather than your typical run-of-the-mill shoes. Recently, I bought these Via Spiga Duet Patent Pumps for just that reason.

These shoes have great style! The cut-out sides and silver hardware on the vamp make these patent peep-toe pumps very chic. They were my luxury shoe purchase of the month at just under $200 from Zappos.com.

What do you look for when you want something a little special in a pump? Texture? Color?

Boutique 9 Relish Peep-Toe

Kori Ellis — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 22:38:45 +0000

I just love this Boutique 9 peep-toe pump! This shiny black pump is perfect for every day, or for nights out. The 3 1/2″ pinched heel has a touch of silver metallic.

What’s cool about these pumps is they also come in some fab spring colors. Yellow, orange and green are going to be very big this spring. I really love the yellow/orange pair, which fades from a metallic orange in the front to a yellow gold in the back.

The green pair is a similar combination of green and silver. You can get any of these shoes right now at Zappos for just $142.95.

Prada Crystal-Heeled Slingback Sandal

Kori Ellis — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 09:54:47 +0000

If you are looking for a very elegant evening shoe, this is it.

The Prada Crystal-Heeled Slingback Sandal features black suede with silver and gold trim. And the highlight of these exquisite shoes is the heel. On the back of the shoe is a gorgeous pattern of Swarovski crystals atop the 4-inch stiletto heel.

These are the perfect holiday party shoes. I love everything about them – the double bow above the sexy peep-toe, the use of both silver and gold, and of course, the crystals.

You can get these right now at Bergdorf Goodman and other fine stores for $750. Normally a lot of designer shoes aren’t worth the big price tag. But these shoes from Prada look like they are worth every penny!
