Are you secretly a Punk Rock princess or do you simply love the rocker girl style but can’t commit to the whole look? Then these heels by Christian Louboutin are exactly what you’ve been searching for. Whether to spice up a classic pencil dress like LeToya Luckett or giving a full skirt some edge à la Kim Kardashian, you’ll definitely be adding some serious attitude to your outfit. And it seems Hollywood has been craving a little rock-and-roll lately, because they are completely sold out! Of course, it doesn’t end here… we have something incredible to show you below.

Gianni Bini “Spikey” Slingback Sandals
Yes, can you believe it? This pair by Gianni Bini has exactly the same level of edginess and comes in an assortment of colors. How gorgeous are they? And the price is great, too, so if you absolutely love them you can buy one in black and another in eye-popping teal! They will just look fantastic with your new denim sundress. For the finishing touch, pick up one more rocker-inspired accessory, like a studded clutch or necklace, and you’ll be all set to find your garage-band king.

Christian Louboutin‘s “Greissimo” pump is one of my favorite Loubies ever! It’s such a flattering and feminine style. Simple yet so intriguing. And although I’m not too much of a vintage girl who’s all fired up for everything 50s, I must admit I’m quite smitten by the red gingham pattern of this specific “Greissimo” version. It’s the perfect shoe for a summer picnic in the park, isn’t it? Well, maybe not really – who wants grass stains on their $875 Louboutins, right? But you get the idea…

Head Over Heels “Darling” Gingham Platform Peep-toe Pumps
So you probably wouldn’t want to wear these Head Over Heels gingham pumps in the grass either, but at £55 per pair the damage wouldn’t be economical suicide as it would be the case with the Louboutins. Actually forget that – these are way too cute to be ruined with grass stains either. Instead wear them out in the streets where they belong, pair them with skinny jeans or your favorite summer dress and you’re bound to get compliments left and right. I promise. Available in either red/white or black/white gingham.

Red pumps – every woman should have at least one pair of red pumps in her closet. Slip them on and you’ll have an instantly sexed up outfit. This red patent Valentino bow peep-toe pump is one of the most lustworthy shoes I’ve seen in a while. I adore everything about it. The vibrant color, the heel and of course the cute big bow on the vamp. It’s a great mix between sexy (red color) and elegant (bow). If you opt for the original, it will set you back $645.

Paris Hilton Senorita D’Orsay Pumps
Thanks to Paris Hilton and her copycat designer team you can now buy a very cute and super similar Valentino bow pump version for a wholet lot less. Don’t they look awesome for knockoffs? I’m kind of in love with them (mostly because of the stolen design and most importantly – the price). The Valentino look-a-likes are available in a bunch of different colors & uppers and will cost you $95.

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.

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.
