Gucci Barclay High Heels

Kori Ellis — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 02:34:39 +0000

This fall, look for shoes in rich colors with unique details. Instead of buying one more pair of classic black pumps, expand your horizons with something a little different. If you want to splurge on a pair of designer shoes that can work for the office, on a date and everywhere else you need to go, check out these Gucci Barclay high heels.

These shoes feature gorgeous red and black leather and lots of special detailing. I love the perforated trim on these peeptoe platform pumps. Though they are a little pricey ($690), these Gucci shoes look to be worth every penny.

Get yours now from boutiques and department stores like Neiman Marcus. These can be your “go-to” shoes to wear with everything from a business suit to your favorite little black dress.

Manolo Blahnik Camo Satin Sandal

Kori Ellis — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 19:16:39 +0000

Who said camouflage can’t be sexy? Check out these camo-print sandals from Manolo Blahnik.

These sandals feature an open toe and closed heel. The camouflage pattern is subtle enough that it can easily work into your wardrobe. You can wear these shoes with all the brown, green or khaki clothes in your closet. They might also work with bright yellow as a stark contrast.

The Manolo Blahnik “Tal” sandal is available at Neiman Marcus and priced at $675. The line runs small, so order a 1/2 size larger than you normally wear.

Another Manolo Blahnik print shoe that I adore is the leopard print pump pictured below. This flirty shoe features a pointy toe, kitten heel and a tortoise shell buckle on the vamp. The Manolo Blahnik Ademyzie Pump is available now for $745.

If you are looking for a new pump for the office, this one from Anne Klein is a hot choice.

The chunky heel and slightly squared off toe at some modern funk to these shoes. But the highlight of these patent leather pumps is definitely the croc-embossed texturing.

Steve Madden Triumphh Pump

Kori Ellis — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 08:51:47 +0000

I have always thought that boots should be boots and sandals should be sandals. So when these things collide, like in the the Steve Madden Triumphh pump, I’m not a big fan.

These suede shoes have an open toe and are open across the forefoot, but they have a boot-like shaft. What do you think about these pumps?

If you love them, you can get these Steve Madden shoes now in black or taupe suede for $109.95 at Nordstrom.
