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!

Giuseppe Zanotti – The Legend

Few designers do constantly well, Mr Zanotti is definitely one of them. The shoes he designs are exquisite, they can really bring life to a boring outfit. He is simply amazing, and the fans – including celebrities – know it and become returning custumers. Let’s see what he’s been up to lately!

To start with, here are two campaign pictures of the Fall/Winter 2011 collection – after all, this is what you’re supposed to be wearing these days. The lady with the apparently 14m long legs is none other than Anja Rubik; obviously she’s perfect for the job.

—

Anja is the face of the brand, they shot the Spring-Summer 2012 campaign with her. I don’t think it needs any explanation why…

Quick FYI:

The marvelous TV-host Azucena Cierco owns these heels already!

There's more about this pair of shoes in this post!

Giuseppe and Anja IRL:

Now, on to the celebrities!

Rose McGowan at the Heart Thruth’s Red Dress Fashion Show in New York:

–

Audrina Patridge looks quite stunning, the Zanotti heels are the icing on the cake:

–

Leighton Meester wore Zanotti cutout suede sandals ($425) to the Vera Show during the NYFW:

–

Now we’ve reached mindfuck territory. Rihanna wore the no heel pumps ($860).

–

I think it’s going to be Mr Zanotti who’ll take ladies to the moon: Katy Perry wore these sky-high (16,5 cm heel, 5 cm platform, $770) suede bow sandals:

—

I say GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI FOR PRESIDENT!

Who’s with me? 🙂

There’s always room for more shoes

I hope you’ll agree with me on this one when you finish reading this post 🙂

Bally is a brand for sophisticated people; Jennifer Aniston was more likely to wear the shoes from Switzerland than Lady Gaga:

—

I think Charlotte Olympia works by the motto “don’t change a winning formula” and she really sticks to it. She designed those sky-high platform pumps a few years ago, and she only changes the “carrosserie” since then. Works every time!

There are fake Charlotte Olympia shoes all over the world, the pair worn here by Katy Perry is no exception, so be careful if you buy heels online.

—

Rebecca Romijn wore Balmain sandals a few weeks ago:

—

Rachel McAdams has chosen these pointy toe pumps by Jimmy Choo:

—

Lea Michele decided to wear Jimmy Choo at the People’s Choice Awards:

—

However, Lea’s heart belongs to Casadei. It’s not the first time she wore these pumps:

—

It’s been a while since I last posted Rupert Sanderson shoes. Amber Heard wore the Estelle sandals to the Michael Kors show at the New York Fashion Week:

—

Walter Steiger is back in the game too. Malin Akerman has recently shown her love for the brand on two occassions:

–

Victoria Beckham even collaborates with Walter Steiger. She tweeted: “Walter Steiger for #victoriavictoriabeckham -presenting tomorrow! X vb”

Two days later, she wore those ankle boots to the launch of her collection:

—

This is it for now, here’s the posting schedule for this week:
