If you had to pick one pair of shoes to give you that extra boost of confidence on any given day, these stunners by Christian Louboutin would be my choice. You can’t wear them and NOT have everyone looking at you. So, what will you wear with them? Will it include a pair of scene-stealing jeans or perhaps a figure-accentuating skirt? Either way, get ready to turn some heads. Wait, are you thinking: “How will I ever afford these?” It’s OK, we’ve found hope. Take a look below!

Giuseppe Zanotti is the man broadening my horizon in terms of shoe design. Why? Because in my mind I’ve never put crystals together with the colorblocking trend until I’ve seen the fabulous Zanotti heel below and now I feel like it might be the only way to wear crystals or colorblocking on your shoes. But oh hey, have you seen that outrageous price tag of 1.300+? Well, Signore Zanotti, sorry, but that’s not my kind of shopping budget…

Now this is more like it! The colorblocking is different here, but the “inspiration” behind these rhinestoned Steve Madden slingbacks is pretty obvious, isn’t it? Need a fun party heel for the upcoming holidays? Might as well go for Madden’s budget version. Curious to see if more color options pop up during the next days.

I’ve always been kind of obsessed with everything red and sparkly. I call it the Dorothy complex. What’s not to love about a glitzy heel in the epitome of all statement colors? You can wear the most boring outfit; throw on a pair of red pumps and voilà you’re the center of attention. These red crystal embellished pumps by Alexander McQueen are haunting me. As if I didn’t have enough shoe obsessions already! Truly tempting, but the price is nothing but a nightmare.

Gianni Bini “Marilyn” Studded Peep-Toe Pumps
UPDATE (01/19/2012): Gianni Bini has a fairly similar pump. Available in red, black, white, ivory and blush satin.

Martinez Valero “Opal” Jeweled Peep-toe Pumps
Martinez Valero doesn’t have the biggest shoe portfolio, but oh boy does he deliver with the few styles he has in petto. Remember those gorgeous blue satin pumps à la Manolo Blahnik? Yeah, that was him and these gorgeous jeweled red peep-toe pumps are his newest creation. Not as delicate if compared to the real McQueen heels, but still a wonderful and budget-friendly alternative. There are only very few sizes left, but I just had to tell you about these gems. Make sure to check out both Zappos & Endless to see if they have your size stocked.

Due to my rather petite frame and my admiration of high heels, I often look for a wedge heel in order to add height and at the same time provide comfort. The Giuseppe Zanotti I10061 Crystal Wedge Platform Sandals are the ultimate combination of style and support. They are ornamented with luminescent crystals, appearing of different hues at every angle. These shoes are extremely versatile as they can be worn with day or evening wear, and accessorized with some jewelry or serve to be a solitary statement piece. But for $624.19, they are rather unaffordable and truly a very large investment. Check out the alluring look-a-like below.
