Gorgeous Paris Hilton Destiny Pumps

Star Stevenson — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 16:00:55 +0000

I was browsing through Macy’s and fell in love with these peep toe pumps at first glance. I didn’t realize they were Paris Hilton brand shoes until I looked at them up close! Admittedly, I’m not a big fan of hers but the girl knows her shoes (and fragrances, so I’ve heard!).

How adorable at these Destiny Pumps ($89)? I’m in love with the combination of the black ribbon and pewter leather. The heel measures high at 4.5″ but there’s a hidden 3/4″ platform so they won’t feel too high. There’s also an all black version if you something something a little less, flashy. These Paris Hilton shoes would be perfect to wear on a night out on the town, to a dinner date and a party – definitely a fun shoe that will get you loads of compliments.

Love them? Get them at Macy’s before they’re all sold out!

Suede is a hot choice in fall fashion in everything from knee-high boots to hobo handbags. I love these suede flats from Linea Paolo. These charming shoes features a zipper trimmed bow and ultra soft suede. With a breathable lining and flexible sole, these shoes are as comfy as they are cute. Here, we see these shoes in fuchsia suede but they are also available in dark blue, black and dark brown.

If you are looking to add a new pair of sandals to your shoe collection, consider metallic sandals for some extra glitz. Metallic sandals are a great choice, whether you are wearing them with a little black dress or more casually with your favorite capris. Today, let’s take a look at some metallic sandals from Via Spiga. All of these sandals are available at Nordstrom.

Via Spiga Aaron Sandal
Metallic doesn’t necessarily mean extra shiny, as you can see by these bronze sandals. These T-strap sandals have a modern look with their soft bronze leather and open style. These shoes have a 4-inch heel with a 1-inch platform for some extra lift. They are priced at $215.

Reebok Top Down Metallics Sneakers

Kori Ellis — Tue, 12 May 2009 01:29:52 +0000

I know that we don’t talk about athletic shoes that often here at ShoeBlitz. However, the other day I saw a woman wearing a very cute pair of purple metallic Reebok sneakers and I thought they were worth a look. She wore these shiny sneakers with a short skirt and tee for a very sporty look.

Though I’m generally not a fan of sneakers with skirts, it looked terrific on her. Her shoes were the Reebok Top Down Metallics Sneakers.

These shoes come in four fabulous colors – gold, silver, hot pink or purple. You can wear these sneakers as high tops or fold them down. They are available at Endless right now for $64.95.

It’s wedding season! If you still haven’t picked out your wedding shoes, don’t fret. You can find an array of bridal shoes in every style imaginable. You don’t need to just wear white satin pumps, it’s perfect acceptable to get creative with your bridal footwear. Here are four fabulous wedding shoes I recommend from Piperlime. They are all priced under $100.

Caparros Godiva Sandal
The reason I love these shoes is because they are stylish enough that you can wear them again and again, long after your wedding day. These satin sandals have 3-inch heel and a jeweled accent. You can get them in Ice Taupe (pictured here) or Ivory for $69.

Nina Choda Sandal
Put on the glitz with these silver metallic sandals. They feature stone embellishments along the strap and a glamorous shape. These sandals are perfect for any evening wedding this summer. You can get them now for just $89.

Kenneth Cole Reaction Doll-ightful
For an outdoor or more casual wedding, stick with thong sandals that are flat or almost flat. These Kenneth Cole Reaction sandals have a 3/4-inch rubber heel and a little added sparkle. The Doll-ightful sandals are priced at just $69.

Pierre Dumas Excelent
If you are wearing a tea-length wedding dress, use it as an opportunity to show off your shoes. These red sandals make a bold statement with their decorative flower and daring color. Believe it or not, these Pierre Dumas sandals are just $49.

Pedro Garcia Arabella Crystal Sandals

Kori Ellis — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 06:00:45 +0000

These pewter metallic sandals from Pedro Garcia are an ideal choice for an evening out on the town. I adore pewter as an alternative to the oftentimes too shiny silver.

These modern evening sandals feature a thin crystal-embellished strap across the toes. In the back, they have a wide strap that buckles at the side.

With their 4 1/2-inch heels, you have to be comfortable with high heels to wear these pretty sandals. Though many women are steering away from sky-high heels, I think they are worth it for a few hours out at a special event or party.

You can get these crystal sandals for $440 right now at net-a-porter.com.

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.

Metallic Tall Gladiator Sandals

Kori Ellis — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 11:38:29 +0000

Many people love the style of tall gladiator sandals – personally I don’t. But if you want to try out a pair without spending a bundle, these sandals are a good choice.

These shiny silver metallic gladiator sandals feature six buckles up the leg and a convenient zipper up the back. These tall gladiator sandals are available at Urban Outfitters for just $58.

When it comes to unusual shoes, like these gladiator sandals, it’s best not to spend a bundle until you are sure you are going to wear the style. So, you can grab a pair like these for cheap and then splurge on a designer shoe later, if you prefer.

Would you wear these sandals? If so, with what?

Metallic Gladiator Sandals

Kori Ellis — Sat, 24 May 2008 19:22:13 +0000

Gone are the days when gladiator sandals were always brown and too chunky. This summer you can add some shine to your wardrobe with the gladiator trend. Metallic gladiator sandals are extremely popular and you can find them in almost every price range.

Here are some of my favorite gladiator sandals right now.

Dolce Vita Bermuda Metallic Faux Snake Gladiator Sandal

The snake-embossed metallic leather makes these sandals a very chic choice. The design is simple but the materials make this shoe. You can get these sandals at Shop Bop for $135.

GoJane Metallic Strappy Buckle Roman Sandal

If you are really unsure about how often you will wear gladiator sandals, then don’t spend a fortune. Instead find a cute, trendy pair of gladiator sandals like these that are very inexpensive. These adorable sandals come in silver or gold and they are priced at only $21.99 at GoJane.

Giuseppe Zanotti Flat Gladiator Sandal

On the other end of the spectrum, these designer gladiator sandals are a luxury buy. I love all the glorious details for these metallic gladiator sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti. Get these shoes at Endless for $649.95.
