The Perfect Spring Shoe

I have been searching for the perfect spring shoe to lift me out of this winter depression...and alas! I have found a beautiful pair of Versace sandals. The platform has such an architectural feel and the complimentary pastel colors are perfection!

Now, if only I had $1,125 to blow on them. A girl can only dream...

Loving the opening in the center (makes it look like a shoe on top of a shoe!)

Get them at Net-A-Porter

Belle Noel

Although Kim Kardashian may not be a favorite of some, I, on the other hand think she and her sisters are fabulous. When I heard about her new line of jewelry, I was a little skeptical because some of their previous shoe and clothing lines are quite gaudy and not really my style. But I took one look at Kim's new jewelry line and I fell in love.

She teamed up with jewelry designer Pascal Mouawad and created a 75 piece collection called Belle Noel. There are 4 series in the collection: honey hexagons, glam rock, gold clusters, and peek-a-boo. I haven't seen every piece of the collection yet because the launch of the line is tonight! But from what I have seen, I can say that I can not wait to get my hands on some of these pieces! The best part about it? They're actually affordable! As soon as I see the full line available for purchase I will be sure to let you know where to snag these awesome pieces.

Here are some of my personal favorites that I've seen.

GORGEOUS! If only I had long hair...

ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! ^^

Heel-less heels?!

Can I just say...WOW! Although these Antonio Berardi heels may be old news, I'm still thinking about how outrageous they are! Why make a heel, with NO heel?! I can imagine myself trying to walk in these and simply tipping forward and falling flat on my face...much like what lady gaga did last year in her Noritaka Tatehana boots (whooopsie!)

Although these seem super dangerous to actually wear, they're kind of like a piece of art, and that's what I love about them. I would put them on display just to drool over, and that's where they belong at a whopping $6,500 retail price (yikes!)

So I'll leave you to stare at some of these amazing heel-less heels by other designers who made this crazy idea their own.

Lady Gaga again in another pair of Noritaka Tatehana shoes (check out those studs!)

8 inches! You might need to get some insurance for these babies

Chau Har Lee, somewhat wearable...maybe.

These futuristic ones are by Kronier Creations

These don't even have a platform in the front! Just one right down the middle, like walking on stilts I suppose (photo from the fashiolista blog)
