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,…
The Look: Black with silvery rhinestones along an interesting design across the top of the foot makes for a charming appearance. I always like the pleated fabric over the toes and the slingback straps give the heel some visibility. Even without a foot in it, the black and silver make a lovely contrast. The Fit:…
The Look: The collection of crisscrossing straps over the top of the foot make this an interesting looking shoe. The lack of a substantial heel is all the prevents this from being pretty enough for dates. As well, the heel is a wedge which relegates it to the more casual situations usage. The Fit: You’d…
The Look: Shades of the west and the fringe cut in leather worn by both the cowboys and the Indians with a rope look wedge heel. It’s a charming looking sandal, obviously for casual wear, perhaps accenting a pair of blue jeans. The Fit: Not bad for a half size up, though the heel cup…
The Look: One of my favorite all time colors is a good start. Silver and pink sequins on the toe box provides a glittery bridge across the toes with sexy curves both at the front and back. Although there’s nothing exceptional about the ankle straps, neither do they detract from the overall appearance. The Fit:…
The Look: High, really high, heels, a double buckle at the ankle, sparkling gold and a platform, the shoe has a bit of pizzazz. I can easily picture them on a pole dancer with lights reflecting off the gold. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the look. It should be an eye catcher. The Fit: Very…
