The Look: I always thought a transparent shoe, like Cinderella and her glass slipper, would be an awesome thing. It would be like being barefoot while wearing shoes – all the beauty of the natural foot would be readily apparent. Except it doesn’t work that way, which you can easily see if you look at…
The Look: With someone who has as many shoes as I do, sometimes you just look for something different. Samara qualifies without doubt. If you ever wanted a shoe covered in multi-colored glitter, here it is. Silver platform and 4.5 inch heel, then the glitter begins. Heel cup, toe straps, T-bar and even most of…
The Look: Similar to Touch Ups Dale (which I have in black) as far as the line of crystals is concerned, I find this one actually prettier. Instead of the crisscross that firmly sets Dale into the sphere of regular sandal, this one’s narrow band qualifies it for the Bikini qualification. I also like the…
The Look: The wide band above the ankle makes this shoe unique in my collection. It’s also the tallest shoe I own that isn’t properly a boot. I love the grey suede and the narrow band across the toes. Barely a platform makes that 5 inch stiletto an amazing height and beautiful to look at….
The Look: Black and tan, a striking contrast and all along the tan pieces are glittering black rhinestones. Toes are covered, and not, by the tan lace-look up to the T-bar attaching to black ankle straps. Finish with a velvety black 4 inch stiletto heel and you’ve got a very pretty shoe. The Fit: Definitely…
The Look: This shoe seems quite plain, the only really decorative feature being the linked T-strap. Despite that, it has an understated beauty. Sometimes less is more kind of thinking. Looking at it from the back, it also has a very high heel for a wedge, a full 4 inches. Of course, moving to the…
The Look: My feet are small enough that it takes quite an interesting shoe to make them look big. Of course, it’s still relative, but looking down when wearing this shoe and I don’t see small feet. It’s got an awesome 5 inch heel countered by only a 1 inch platform, so most of the…
The Look: Silk in white, clips with crystals, a sleek design, this is a very pretty shoe. Sure, it would be more beautiful with a higher heel, but that goes for almost every 3 inch or under shoe. Claire’s classy look is fine for almost any formal event you might imagine and the Dyeables feature…
The Look: Bold. Broad black straps with buckles. While I do count this with my pretty shoes, it’s not really pretty, which is not to say that I dislike the look. Rather it makes a statement of confidence, perhaps a light taste even of dominance. Maybe a feminist ‘I can do anything’ attitude. The sole…
The Look: Animal print on a shoe. If it hadn’t been on sale, a really good sale, I probably wouldn’t have gone for it. I’m well past the phase when I wore a lot of animal print clothes, which means I don’t have much that will go with animal print shoes. But they are attractive,…
