Christian Louboutin Meteorita Sandal, $1795 via Net-a-Porter

If you’ve never been to a Miami, you should really try and go. It’s a place unlike any other in the US, and the fusion of Latin culture with Art Deco architecture and the colors of the Caribbean make the town a feast for the eyes and ears. The heat and the beach also bring out some wild outfits, and the colors and structure of the Christian Louboutin Meteorita Sandals would fit in perfectly in a South Beach nightclub.

A South Beach nightclub isn’t usually my scene, of course, but sometimes a particularly good piece of fashion has the ability to make you wish you were someone else, if only for a night. I’m guessing that these sandals are that kind of shoe for a lot of people – not something that would make any sense in their normal lives, but maybe once or twice, on vacation, they’d make all the sense in the world.

The quasi-pastel metallic finish of these shoes would fit in especially perfectly Miami, where pastels and glitz rule the fashion roost. I’m not quite sure what kind of ensemble you’d pair these shoes with (besides maybe white jeans and a caftan), but with shoes this attention-grabbing, I doubt it would really matter.
