Shoes to show off this summer

As usual, I’ve prepared 10 pairs to present in this post. These shoes are made for the summer, so in case you can allow to treat yourself, here are a few ideas for you 🙂

The first one is by Walter Steiger (worn here by Adrienne Bailon), take a closer look at the trademark curved heel!

—

Colors, colors, colors – that’s what this season is about. Carmen Electra clearly loves awesome shoes, here are some new pairs she couldn’t resist buying:

1″ platform, 5,5″ heel, around $800.

–

New additions to her Louboutin collection:

The Meteorita: 1,5″ platform, 5,5″ heel, $1.800, and the No. 299 Trash has a 1″ platform, 6″ heels and costs at least $1.200.

–

She’s not that tall, no wonder she prefers to wear extremely high heels every now and then, like these bow sandals by Giuseppe Zanotti:

–

She also likes “mainstream” shoes, like YSL‘s classic platform pumps:

—

In case you’re looking for elegant evening shoes, here’s this very simple pair by Cesare Paciotti, worn here by the marvelous Irina Sheik:

—

Another fancy pair of shoes is the “Lance” by Jimmy Choo:

—

On nights that are somewhat chilly, light ankle boots like this one on Victoria Justice (made by Valentino) could be the solution.

—

The shoes you’ve seen in almost every editorial this spring are made by Prada. These shoes take you back in time and they are certainly very unique! Take a look at Kylie’s, it even has her monogram on the soles!

—

The last one for today also has summer written all over it. The cork wedges by Giuseppe Zanotti guarantee that you won’t go unnoticed if you hit the beach wearing them. Kendra Wilkinson‘s shoes have 1,75″ platforms, 6″ heels and she’s spent around $700 on them.

—

That’s it, have a nice weekend all!

Update on Yves Saint Laurent shoes

Since I haven’t really posted YSLs lately, it was high time to do a megapost with pictures of the famous Tribute pumps and other heels designed by the house. By now everyone knows that the Tribtoo simply cannot be hidden in the wardrobe, it is still “in”, especially because new, somewhat modified Tribtoos appeared in the stores – those are in this post as well.

YSL fans, enjoy! 🙂

The night begins (and usually ends) barefoot:

—

Jennifer Love Hewitt wears these golden YSL sandals often:

—

First generation Tribute platforms can still be spotted:

—

YSL Tribtoo pumps on Tamara Ecclestone and Lily Aldridge:

—

Sarah Michelle Gellar (5’2) and Amanda Seyfried (5’3) need those extra inches:

—

Paula Abdul went for a brighter color version:

—

Britney owns YSL boots, while Salma Hayek has a slingback Tribtoo:

—

Alexa Vega is a big fan for sure:

As promised, here are the new, 2012 YSL Tribtoos, brought to you by Carmen Electra and Brandy Norwood:

—

Austrian TV host Mirjam Weichselbraun bought YSL heels too:

—

Last but not least here are the very good looking wedges, worn here by Mariah Carey and Emily Procter:

That’s it, come back tomorrow to see the new Model Monday post!

20th anniversary of Christian Louboutin

The French magician celebrated his brand’s 20th anniversary this week. I don’t think there are a lot of people out there who don’t appreciate his design; obviously there has been much to celebrate for the fashion world.

It’s possible that I don’t like one or two of his designs, but generally I truly admire his work. I won’t continue praising him now by writing 20 more lines that you won’t read, I let the pictures do the talking. Bottom line is:

There are 2 pages about him in the November issue of InStyle magazine:

There are 19 more pictures in this post with celebrities wearing Louboutin, click to continue reading!

Shoe shopping with celebrities and more
