This collection marks the 90th anniversary of the Gucci runway shows, the first being in the 1970′s, so Frida Giannini used elements from the era in this collection. For the shoes that translated into simple, round toe sandals with a slim ankle strap, T-strap sandals, and low-heeled riding boots. While the shoes aren’t showstoppers, they are classic in design and very lady-like. These are shoes that can be worn for many seasons to come.

Fluorescents are back in a major way. And 70’s platforms have been back forever. So Christopher Kane decided to mix the fluorescent color of the 80s with a 70s platform shape This leather-covered heel rises as high as 5.25 inches, but touts a platform of 1.5 inches, luckily, so it’s basically a 3.75 inch heel. With an adjustable grip-tape ankle strap, leather lining and padded insole, this is made for comfort-despite-height.
So what do you think? Are They Sexy?

These Charlotte Olympia pumps are awesome for several reasons. The natural toned raffia is perfect for spring, and the color is super great when you want a nice neutral toned shoe. These bad boys are perfect for pairing with tailored shorts or a sun dress. As on all Charlotte Olympia shoes, they have a signature spider web stamp on the sole, not as loud as Christian Louboutin’s red bottoms, but one that I love never-the-less. At 5.5 inches high this shoe is great for anyone who likes really high heels , but are particularly perfect for us 5’4″ and under girls.

It’s cold outside. And it’s no where near warm even in (almost) always warm Florida. But the Floridian in me knows warm weather is right around the corner so showcasing these Miu Miu Sandali Polka Dot Cotton sandals is not in the least bit strange as we continue to freeze our buns in this record setting winter weather.
These bad boys are beyond cute. With the 5.5 inch heels these girly girl sandals will sex up all your summer skirts and dresses. Boy I can’t wait. There are definitely pluses to living in the sunshine state, cause as the rest of the country continues to freeze I know warm, sunny weather is right around the corner…and so are cute summer shoes.
I love the silhouette and I love the platform, which is about 1 and ¾ inches, high. It is self covered, as is the heel. You can get these pretty polka-dot sandals here and they will cost you $495.
