Kori Ellis — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:27:46 +0000

Be & D ’s Kan Kan Platform Sandal was featured yesterday on Oprah’s “Bag and Shoe Intervention” show. Oprah couldn’t stop talking about them and I loved them too! You can find these shoes online at Shopbop or Zappos in your choice of black or taupe.

The $595 price tag isn’t small, but these shoes look well worth it. These leather sandals have a ruffled T-strap, 1 1/4-inch covered platform and sky-high 4 1/2-inch heel.

Linea Paolo Angelique Sandal

Kori Ellis — Sat, 23 May 2009 03:16:40 +0000

Sometimes I find a shoe that I love and then I’m disappointed when it doesn’t come in a different color. That’s one thing that I really love about the Linea Paolo line — the majority of the styles come in at least four colors, oftentimes six or more.

The Linea Paolo Angelique Sandal is one of my new favorites. This sky-high sandal features a 5-inch heel and a 1 1/4-inch platform. The crisscross styling and retro appeal make these sandals a fab choice for the summer. Available at Nordstrom, these leather sandals are priced at $129.95 and come in six colors — New Red Selvaggia (below), Dark Jeans Shiny Leather, Dark Camel Selvaggia, Bronze Metallic, Black Chiny Leather and Anthracite Metallic. Though the colors vary, they are all bold and cool.

Although they are too tall for me (I don’t want to be a giant), these Linea Paolo sandals are perfect if you are looking for a little (actually a lot) of lift!
