L.A.M.B. Chiba Lace-Up Pump

Kori Ellis — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 06:36:04 +0000

The combination of tan pebbled-grain leather and black smooth leather makes this shoe a very unique choice. The colors can easily transition from summer to fall.

The L.A.M.B. Chiba features a cut-out over the vamp and a cute peep-toe to add some femininity to this menswear inspired lace-up pump. I’m not sure if I love these shoes but they are definitely interesting. If you are going to buy these, keep in mind they have a 5-inch heel plus a 1 1/2-inch platform.

You can get these shoes now from eLuxury for $405. Check out the rest of their selection of L.A.M.B. shoes – Gwen Stefani’s line.

Gucci Grease High-Heel Platform Sandal

Kori Ellis — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 16:11:54 +0000

Last week when I made my Top 10 Orange Patent Leather Shoes list, if we weren’t limiting it to patent leather, these orange suede shoes would have definitely made the list.

The Gucci Grease High-Heel Platform Sandal features rich orange suede throughout this slingback design. What I really love is the dark cork platform and heel.

Lighter cork is being used by many designers right now, and this darker version is a fresh alternative. The gold Gucci signature GG detail on the platform is a nice touch.

These Gucci sandals are available right now at Neiman Marcus for $595. They are still having their free shoe bag deal going on. So, you will get free NM Exclusive Butterly Shoe Bag with purchase.
