The Look: Does anything else matter? They’re purple! I spent a long time looking for the perfect purple pair of shoes. The color isn’t common. The heel has a silvery sheen added to it, but the purple still shows through. It’s got a nice 4 inch stiletto heel and while I’m still getting used to the…
The Look: It’s a very pretty red, wedge heel that goes nicely with several of my outfits. The wide toe strap and the crisscross over the top of the foot give a bold statement of confidence. It is, however, obviously a faux leather and I could wish that it seemed genuine – whether or not…
The Look: The first impression is a teal-like dark green, but on closer inspection there’s a maelstrom of colors, not separate enough to be individually discernible. The buckle on the top strap is real but serves only to adjust the snugness on that particular strap and doesn’t affect the fit so much as to be…
The Look: There’s just something about a string of black roses flowing down the top of my foot. It’s certainly eye catching and I get a lot of compliments whenever I wear them. Though the bands are pretty wide, it’s still got an almost minimal look to it, especially when viewed from the side. The…
The Look: Nothing wrong with the look of this shoe, but my favorite part is the gap through the wedge. It almost makes it more like a regular heel, but not quite. The Fit: Pretty solid fit, maybe a bit long, too much shoe showing beyond the toes. The crisscross straps also come in at…
The Look: Bronze isn’t a common color for shoes and I like this pair for that if no other reason. The Velcro adjustable straps – the top two – are nice to reduce the risk of losing the shoe, a common problem with slides. The designs in the center strap are also pretty. But it’s…
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….
