Finally! I officially have found the perfect nude pump! Are you surprised it is by the man of our shoe dreams, Monsieur Christian Louboutin? I am not. The strange thing is that I’ve been aware of the Banana pumps for quite some time now, but it wasn’t until today before I realized they are the perfect shape. And don’t get me started on the delicious patent nude color. You know you’ve found your perfect shoe when there isn’t one single thing you’d want to change about them… Wait! Oops, sorry, actually there are TWO things I’d change about these darlings here: a) the availability (they’re sold out) and b) the price ($800 isn’t exactly my kind of shoe shopping budget).

ALDO “Withey” Peep-toe Pumps
If Louboutins are out of your price range as well, opt for these equally amazing ALDO pumps instead. You might recognize these from our recent Nude Shoes Under $100 post. The only difference is the hidden platform; otheriwse it’s all there: the delicious nude patent leather, the perfectly shaped arch, the sky-high stiletto heel… and they’re only $80, not $800. Also available in black patent.

Liliana “Cord” Platform Pumps
UPDATE (08/25/2010): Woot woot! MsHeel.com just received a brand new shipment of the super popular Liliana “Cord” pumps. These nude pumps sold out in less than 3 days last time, so you better hurry & order ASAP. Use our exclusive coupon code “INTHEIRCLOSET” to get 10% OFF!
In case you’re not feeling like spending $80 on shoes right now, but still crave a new pair of heels, consider these gorgeous nude pumps by Liliana. They look a lot like the ALDO version, just a tad darker, and again have a hidden platform. I absolutely love these – especially the killer price of $28.95! New shoes for under $30, how great is that? Even less ($26.05 to be exact) if you use the coupon code above. You better be quick to order because these will go fast!

Christian Louboutin is known for having a sense of humor, so it’s no surprise that while his shoes are immaculately constructed, many are decidedly irreverent. And his Very Galaxy Platform Pumps are certainly no exception with their jewel-toned, metallic shine and graphic top-stitching. Very inter-galactic, indeed! I imagine the Very Galaxy is probably exactly what Judy Jetson would have worn if Louboutin had set up shop in a galaxy near her.

Miss Me Jocelyn-22 Stitched Platform Pumps
Apparently the Very Galaxy is a huge fave of Earth-dwellers, because they’ve sold out in spite of their whopping price tag. But that’s OK…if you’re looking to get your galactic shine on too, the Miss Me Jocelyn-22 Stitched Platform Pumps are an outrageously good sub,with their lovely peep-toes, metallic sheen, and funky topstitching. They come in an array of colors, as well as a black version that is not included below.

Are you guys familiar with the Italian shoe designer, “Casadei“? I wasn’t either until recently, when I came across a stunning pair of their platform pumps. They were very old Hollywood glamour meets modern day woman and I was immediately a fan. Even though many of their heels measure at least 5 inches, I’ve heard only wonderful things about their level of comfort. I am particularly enamoured with Casadei’s “3114″ Satin Platform Pumps. There’s not a whole lot going on with this shoe, besides classic construction, but I think you’ll agree that these would be a perfect bridal pump, among other things. Unfortunately, not sure if you caught a glance at their retail price, but that is in fact a 9 before the 50. Yes, they’re currently on sale, but that’s still a whole lotta dough.

Nina “Papina” Satin Peep-toe Pumps

RSVP “Maison” Satin Peep-toe Pumps
Even though I often wax poetic on the beauty of a 5 inch heel, let’s be honest: if you have to wear the shoes ALL night, a 4 incher is probably a better choice. That’s why I love these RSVP “Maison” pumps we found. They are almost identical to the Casadei originals, but the heel looks way more manageable, as does the price. These are available in a whopping 6 colors, which means there’s a shoe for every occasion, and every girl.

ALDO “Orpin” Peep-toe Pumps
ALDO‘s “Orpin” pump is dressed in suede and not satin but otherwise all the classic details are there to make this a knockout shoe (as well as a darn good knockoff). Taupe shoes are huge for Spring but I’m especially in love with the turquoise color – they would look spectacular with any LBD. Available in taupe, coral or turquoise suede.

So I absolutely adore this double-breasted wool coat by Stella McCartney. It is my ideal coat! The tailoring is exquisite as is the wool felt the coat is made out of. But as usual style and quality come at a price; in this case the price is as high as $2.495. Not exactly my kind of shopping budget. But since having a good coat is essential in the winter I tried to find an affordable yet stylish alternative.

While this wool coat by ASOS doesn’t have the same fine texture as the Stella McCartney coat I still love how similar it is to the original. The coat comes in 3 colors: camel (pictured), black and pink.

Back in April Anne Hathaway attended the Cartier 100th Anniversary in America Celebration looking lovely in a short blue Jill Stuart dress with a black lace overlay. The beautiful actress completed her feminine ensemble with sheer black tights, Cartier jewelry and ultra-high satin pumps by Casadei.
