Charlotte Olympia Love Me Heart Pumps

With the outpouring of love and support in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy over the past two months, I thought it’d be appropriate to find a shoe that represents the kind actions of others in the wake of the storm. The Love Me heart-appliqued suede pump by Charlotte Olympia does just this. I’m a Staten Island native, and during the ongoing cleanup, I have heard stories of hardship and seen destruction in my hometown that have affected my outlook on life. Read More…

Nicholas-Kirkwood-Ruffle-Trimmed-Suede-Pump-2

Today, I am going to be short, sweet, and to the point when I say: A.) I am loving these Nicholas Kirkwood Ruffled-Trimmed Suede Pumps B.) I am a BIG Nicholas Kirkwood fan, and C.) I am obsessed with black pumps. So of course, when I stumbled upon these shoes, I had yet another jaw-dropping moment. (This tends to happen to me a lot when I browse shoe sites.) What I like about this Kirkwood pump is that it has an ostentatious quality, but it still keeps things chic. Read More…

HighHeel-Sneaker-2

This past week, I have been having a laid back, just-want-to-dress-comfy kind of week, but I want to stay stylish. In my mind, there’s no better way to accomplish that than wearing these BE&D Brightlight High Top Sneakers. With that in mind, lets get straight to the question of the hour: on a lazy day, would you wear a high top sneaker with a glitter stiletto graphic? Read More…

Manolo-2

When looking at the KORS Michael Kors Cyprien Shiny Cork Pump and the Manolo Blahnik BB Polished Cork Pumps, I have a hard time picking a favorite. First things first: what do we all think of cork high heels? Having an all-cork upper and heel is nothing new; both Louboutin and Sam Edelman have done similar pumps in the past. Read More…

Christian Louboutin Highness Dragon Pumps

The more you become surrounded by luxury fashion, the more you will notice that designs are not solely based on aesthetic pleasure. Of course, a big part of designing is aesthetics, but designers sometimes have a larger point to make or story to tell with their pieces. So what story do these Christian Louboutin Highness Dragon Tattoo Platform Red Sole Pump tell? Read More…

Giuseppe-Zanotti-Pumps

Stripes and floral? If you raised your eyebrow, know that I was right there with you at first. But after looking at how this design tastefully combines the two, I had to reconsider. On top of all that, the Giuseppe Zanotti Satin Stripe Floral Pumps add an edgy, totally glam, emerald-cut crystal heel.

The black and white stripe background makes a graphic canvas for the tropical petals, and the contrast only heightens the vivid colors of the floral print. Read More…

Jimmy-Choo-Tame-Crystal-Embellished-pumps

Unlike like the last pair of Jimmy Choo shoes I wrote about, these Jimmy Choo Tame Crystal Embellished Suede pumps are a true beauty. These pumps are anything but tame, contrary to what the name would sugest. They carry a kind of glitzy quality that will light up the room. Jimmy Choo knows how to take a classic pump and turn it up a notch. Read More…

Is that a platform or a stilt? With the Brian Atwood Alesha Leopard Print Calf Hair Platform Pump, that’s debatable. It’s no surprise that you would find a pump with this much…uh…charisma categorized in the “Over-the-Top” section on the Neiman Marcus website. Mr. Atwood knows how to take what could have been a simple shoe and construct it in a way that’s reminiscent of the 1970s iconic platform shoes, and yet it has the right amount of modern-day quirkiness.
