Red Hot Valentino Couture Pumps

Star Stevenson — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:00:37 +0000

The holidays are coming up very soon! My favourite colour is red so it’s just another of the very many reasons why I love this time of year. Red is a wonderful colour for Fall and it compliments just about everyone. There are also very many shades to choose from as well – deep wine reds, burgundy, to blue tone and coral reds. One of my favourite red shades is lipstick red and these Valentino heels have got me drooling…

These oh so pretty Valentino Couture Patent Leather Pumps ($745) are pretty amazing. They’re feminine, sexy and a bit racy. How fabulous is are the sculptural bows on the front? They’re sweet and vampy at the same time. These pumps are meant to be worn with a short dress for maximum exposure and well, drama.

The heels measure 5″ and the platform is 1″, definitely wearable. Your little black dresses or other neutral toned frocks will look amazing when paired with these shoes. Do you love them too? Pick them up at Net-A-Porter before they’re gone!

Kori Ellis — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 03:39:44 +0000

Ruby & Bloom ‘Trisha’ Pump

Kori Ellis — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:39:16 +0000

Though they call these shoes “pumps”, they are really ballet flats with a little 1-inch heel. Combining rich suede and shiny patent leather, the Ruby & Bloom pump is a cute selection for fall. These shoes come in your choice of black, espresso or navy.

I’m usually not crazy about shoes with stubby heels. I prefer 3 inches or higher, totally flat, or a curvy kitten heel. These shoes find themselves somewhere above a flat but in no man’s land.

If you love these shoes, it’s a great time to buy from Nordstrom. Regularly priced at $89.95, these shoes are on sale until August 3rd for $59.90 a pair. They come in narrow, medium or wide widths for a great fit.
