From the Manolo Blahnik Pre-Fall Collection, check out these gorgeous snake slingbacks. I have a love/hate relationship with snake shoes. I think it’s been so overdone this last year, that sometimes it’s too much. But then I see a shoe like this and fall back in love again.

These slingback shoes are created from purple snakeskin. But it’s not just purple; it also features other hues mixed in for a very modern, sophisticated look. The heel is just high enough, but not too high. So you won’t dread spending a lot of time on your feet in these.
You can pre-order these …read more

Another cute thong sandal is this shoe from Michael Kors. It features snake embossed leather in four different colors – black, natural, yellow and pink.

I love the pink Guava/Flamingo snake version the most. But any of these sandals would make a great addition to your wardrobe. Each shoe features a flexible leather sole, a goldtone Michael Kors logo plate and a small buckle on the slingback strap.
You can get these sandals at Nordstrom.com for $108.95.

If you are looking for an interesting variation of the metallic sandal, consider this gorgeous shoe from Via Spiga. I adore the details of this sandal, from the croc embossed leather to the crystal-embellished buckle.
If you are looking for an evening sandal that is not your typical silver, gold or black, this bronze shoe is an elegant choice. It’s versatile enough to worn with just about any color outfit, but would probably look the best with a black ensemble or perhaps something in a jewel-tone.

These shoes are available at Nordstrom right now for $185 – which isn’t a bad price …read more
