I’m not sure which woman wouldn’t want jewels around her ankles? And I’m sure you can clearly see why these Giuseppe Zanotti high heel sandals are sold out! I love the nude color straps and the decent heel height, but I’m not sold on the price! At $1.095 and sold out I think we can do better!

BCBGeneration “Pashas” High-Heel Sandals
I love the crystals on these BCBGeneration sandals! I’m not too fond of the not-so-sleek heel, but I’ll get over that! Definitely love the price though: only $98! Available in nude, black, pewter and gold.

There is something really sexy about wearing a criss cross sandal, and who wouldn’t love the Casadei 6822 Criss Cross Sandal? I really love it in the black so that way you can really see the design of the shoe. But, honestly, I’m not going to spend €580 which is approx. $834… I’m 100% sure that we can come up with a much better deal here!

Fergie “Sanibel” Backzip Sandals
I actually really like this steal by Fergie! Why? Because I love how the straps give you the illusion that they wrap all around the platform. Plus I love the texture in the straps as well! And the best part is these sandals are only $76.97!

If the devil wears Prada I don’t want to go to heaven… now that says a lot about my priorities, doesn’t it? But seriously, Miuccia Prada is a designing genius. I might not approve of every collection, but she’s constantly exploring new ways of creating something unique; she’s so inspiring and always pushes the limits of what we consider to be aesthetic; her shows are often puzzling but not alienating and that’s what I love about fashion, that’s what turns fashion into art. Now these platform heels might not be the most unique Prada design but they’re super fabulous nonetheless. Classic and clear. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any info on these, not even a stock picture, I just know these are Prada and almost nowhere to get (Saks has a very similar black patent version without an ankle strap for $720).

UPDATE (05/26/2011): Look what I just came across! A lovely Prada alternative coming from ASOS. It’s not patent and only available in tan right now, but these would make great nude pumps for dark skinned girls.

Michael Antonio “Lux” Platform Pumps
So yeah, being a Prada lover doesn’t mean being a Prada buyer. I happened to stumble upon these ankle strap pumps by Michael Antonio which are quite similar to Prada’s version and retail for just $65. I love the color selection, from the classic black to the statement red patent version. What do you think?

So I’m not a handbag person. Not that I can’t appreciate it when I spy a great one, but it certainly doesn’t even come close to my passion for shoes. Still, I’m craving a nude handbag like crazy lately. There’s just something so fresh and moodlifting about a cream colored bag, don’t you think? Since I am a notorious overpacker I’d need a big, roomy bag to fit all the stuff I think I might need when I’m out of the house. This hobo bag by Tommy Hilfiger is my favorite candidate in terms of look, quality & price. Now if I only could stop buying so many shoes to buy this beauty of a bag…

Wow, I guess I’m a sucker for pink shoes lately. But how am I supposed to withstand the alluring siren song so sweetly sung by these bow-adorned Steve Madden platform pumps? They’re way too adorable to be ignored. I love, love, love the shape (high arch lover needs completely satisfied!), the details (a giant bow, people!) and most importantly the stand-out color. Obviously, these shoes will get you noticed and since Steve Madden has this awesome 15% OFF promo going on right now, you can save a further $22.49 along the way. Score!
