Party Shoes: Bourne Micha T-Strap Sandals

Kori Ellis — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:23:15 +0000

For holiday parties, winter galas and other special occasions, you need a fantastic pair of dazzling evening shoes. Recently, I came across these black T-strap sandals at Nordstrom that are simply gorgeous. The Bourne Micha T-Strap Sandals feature rows of cascading sparkling stones and large jewels over the peep toe for some sparkle.

These sweet sandals have a back zipper for easy entry and a 3 1/2-inch heel. These black satin sandals are perfect for an evening out. They are priced at $235 and come in European whole sizes. If you are between sizes, order the larger size.

If you want something a little different than basic black, these Bourne sandals also come in grey or rose satin. Though the black are versatile, I personally adore the grey!

Comfortable and Chic Naturalizer Sandals

Kori Ellis — Fri, 29 May 2009 03:08:56 +0000

I’m one of those women who is willing to sacrifice comfort for the sake of style. Though I don’t do it every day, for special occasions no shoe is too painful for me if it’s pretty enough. After all, I’m only wearing them for a few hours. Though it’s probably not the wisest choice, I justify it by the fact that I work from home — most days I don’t even wear shoes. So in the end, I think things will balance out.

If you most wear high heels every single day to work, it’s much more important for you to find shoes that are not only chic by comfy too. That’s where brands like Cole Haan, Taryn Rose and Naturalizer come in.

These Naturalizer sandals are a fabulous choice for summertime. If you can wear sandals to the office, these are a nice option. They have a closed back and T-strap. With two tonal shades of metallic leather, these sandals can go from the boardroom to Happy Hour without missing a step.

One of the best things about Naturalizer shoes (other than the comfort) is they are very affordable. These “Princeton” sandals are priced at just $64.95 at Nordstrom and come in narrow, medium and wide widths.

Gucci Iman T-Strap Sandal

Kori Ellis — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 05:33:55 +0000

Platform sandals will be big once again this spring. Though some platforms look far too clunky and chunky, you can find others that are a little more wearable.

This platform sandal from Gucci is one that I really like. Though the platform sole is pretty thick, the gunmetal leather and double buckle ankle strap make a nice statement.

You can also get these sandals in black, but I think they look much better in the gunmetal. These pretty sandals will definitely cost you a pretty penny. Priced at $1,160 at Bergdorf Goodman, you might have to save up if you really want these.

Now, here’s an affordable option from Poetic Licence. These shoes come in pink or black satin and feature wide ruffles along the T-strap. With a closed back and 4-inch heel, the Body Talk sandal makes a great choice for a party shoe.
