Gone Fishin'

Yup, it's a flat. I know, I know what you're thinking, but I can't in good conscience NOT blog about at least ONE of Giuseppi Zanotti's flats. They are absolutely stunning this season, deserve to be seen, written about, photographed, worn... shared. So, I'm sharing. His line is dramatic and bold yet delicate and completely wearable. He creates statement shoes no matter if they are heeled or not - bullets, roses, and fish are few facets of his bejeweled style. My favorite is the Jeweled Fishbone Flat Sandal:

Fun, fashionable and fearless - these words should definitely be in your vocabulary when you step out in these flats. This pair of spring deliciousness brings a smile to my face. How unexpected would it be to walk into a fiesta with these brilliant babies on your feet? Adding to the magnificence is the versatility, they can go with anything from a cute sundress, to chic leggings or your LBD. So go, have a little fun; go fish.

Spring Showers bring Hot Heels

Spring is here, and with this lovely season comes fabulous footwear. The new arrivals are making me extremely giddy, new designs, lines, colors and fabrics. Everything from stylish wedges to bejeweled strappy sandals, sky-high platform pumps to intricately designed flats. (Yes, flats. They are EVERYWHERE right now, and even I've thrown some on. Giuseppi Zanotti has some gorgeous styles out right now. Beautiful enough that I might even blog about a pair one day...) All of these gorgeous shoes, especially the suede pairs, need to be protected from this season's rain to prevent those awful watermarks - except for one pair (kind of) Brian Atwood Suede Watermark Pumps:

Intentionally made to look as though they've fashionably weathered a storm, these pumps could replace my rain boots any day. Ordinarily, most women would deign to wear a pair with watermarks, however, these deliberate heels are altogether out of the ordinary. The two-tone effect creates a whimsical look without going over the top and the color keeps the shoe neutral, but still makes a big statement. As always, in my eyes, the height of the heel really makes the shoe, and these don't disappoint at 4.75 inches. Go ahead and splurge on this perfectly imperfect pair, they'll be an excellent addition to your collection.
