Pretty Pink Shoes for Springtime

Kori Ellis — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 07:22:44 +0000

Though yellow is definitely the hottest color of the season, enough can’t be said for the value of pink. It’s flirty, feminine and so much fun. This spring, look for pink shoes in every shade imaginable, from pale to bright. Here are a few of my favorite pink shoes available right now from Neiman Marcus.

Dolce & Gabbana Pool Slide – $495
Simple yet sophisticated, this peep-toe slide is a fresh light pink dubbed “Rosa.” This shoe features a skinny high heel and easy to wear style.

Dior Paraiso Slingback – $750
These slingback pumps come to life in hot pink python-embossed leather with floral embroidery. They feature a platform sole and tiny “D” charm dangling from the buckle.

Manolo Blahnik Patent Sandal – $685
This vibrant patent leather sandal features crisscross strps and a slingback style. The Manolo Blahnik “Tiras” is a gorgeous and glossy choice for spring.

REPORT ‘Redding’ Sandal

Kori Ellis — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 04:35:14 +0000

Jeweled and beaded sandals are hot for spring. While some beaded shoes are glitzy and glamorous, this one from REPORT has a tribal, more casual appeal.

This leather thong sandal features three colorful beaded medallions along the red leather t-strap. It’s a great spring sandal that can be dressed up or dress down. You could wear these with a long boho skirt, linen capris or even shorts.

You can get the REPORT Redding sandals right now for $69.95. They also have a similar beaded sandal in black at the same price.

Vibrant Yellow Sandals for Spring

You probably know that yellow is the hottest color in fashion this year. From mustard to lemon, everyone is incorporating yellow into their wardrobes.

If you are looking for a great pair of yellow sandals for spring, Nordstrom has a good offering. Here are two of my personal favorites – one heel and one flat.

Stuart Weitzman ‘Miss Jane’ Sandal
This glossy patent leather platform sandal from Stuart Weitzman will add a blast of color to any outfit. These shoes feature a 5-inch heel plus a 1 1/4-inch platform sole. You can get these yellow sandals at Nordstrom for $365.

Onex ‘Paige’ Leather Sandal
Well they aren’t exactly flat, but these yellow sandals from Onex are very comfortable and easy to wear. Featuring a low cork wedge heel and super soft yellow leather, these slide sandals are priced at just $64.95. They are also available in orange.

Old School Cool: Gucci Leather Clogs

Kori Ellis — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 04:11:52 +0000

When I was in elementary school. I had some cool clogs (well, they were cool at the time). They were the only high heel shoes that this 10-year-old was allowed to wear. From time to time, clogs have come back into fashion but they don’t usually stick around long.

Right now, you can get these dark brown leather clogs from Gucci’s Spring Summer Collection that sort of remind me of my grade school clogs. The Janis platform clogs feature a round buckle detail and goldtone stud accents.

Of course the highlight of these shoes, like all clogs, is the thick platform sole. These Gucci clogs will cost you a bit more than my elementary school version. Priced at $745, you better be sure you love them before you splurge. You can get these platform shoes now at Neiman Marcus.

Fendi Multicolored Python Pump

Kori Ellis — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 05:08:20 +0000

You might have seen the Fendi python bag that I was talking about on Shopaholics Daily last week. Now here’s the pumps in a similar multi-colored rainbow python.

Fendi takes a simple silhouette and dresses it up in luxurious yet colorful python. These python pumps feature an almond shaped toe and 4-inch heel.

You can get these Fendi heels right now at Net-a-porter for $890. Though I wouldn’t recommend wearing them with the bag (too matchy-matchy for my taste), they definitely look like they are worth the splurge.

Jean-Michel Cazabat Opium Pump

Kori Ellis — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 19:31:41 +0000

Normally when I see cork pumps, they look a little drab. However, these from Jean-Michel Cazabat are anything but dull. They feature a little bit of sparkle infused into the cork uppers.

Priced at $595 from Barneys CO-OP, these peep-toe pumps have gold metallic trim and a 4-inch ombre heel. These shoes are sparkly enough for evening wear, but not so gaudy that you can’t also wear them to work.

If you are looking for something a little bit different, the Jean-Michel Cazabat Opium pump is a terrific alternative.

Jeweled Wedge Sandals

Kori Ellis — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 05:14:06 +0000

Wedge heels are great because they are easy on your feet compared to stilettos, while also giving you a little bit of height. These jeweled wedge sandals feature a faux wood platform and white leather straps.

These slide sandals are highlight by the jeweled ornament on the upper strap and the studs along the strap above the toe. The footbed is padded for extra comfort.

You can get the Onex ‘Tacey’ slide sandal right now at Nordstrom for under $100. They come in both white and black, but I think the white are perfect for springtime.
