One of the most distinctive shoe styles of 2011 have been Giuseppe Zanotti‘s extreme wedge styles for me. I’ve loved them the second I saw them online. They do scare me a lil’ bit with their crazy 6 inch heel, but I still want them in my closet so badly. Not convinced yet? Check out the celebs letting their Zanottis do all the talking and I’m pretty sure they’ll land on your wish list, too.

This blue suede platform pump is probably one of my absolute favorites from Giuseppe Zanotti. I love the sky-high heel, the shape, the vibrant blue suede and for a Zanotti shoe this pump isn’t even too expensive at $650. Of course, still too pricey for my own budget…

You gotta admire Giuseppe Zanotti for his fearless approach to designing shoes. Take these colorful colorblock wedge sandals for instance. These look like they belong into a kid’s room rather than on the feet of a grown woman and even though I can’t think of too many outfit options to pair these with it’s still a very fun-looking shoe and probably would work well with a monochrome look at an event where drinking alcohol excessively is a socially accepted pastime (e.g. a Bachelorette party). But would I ever spend $695 for a pair of designer heels that look like LEGO? Nope.

Just because your budget won’t allow for you to splurge on avantgarde designer shoes doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with your shoes once in a while. Luckily, online shops like GoJane stock a lot of steal-worthy designer shoe look-a-likes that will give you the same look without the heavy price tag. Look at these colorful stunners for example! Now they don’t come in the same color combos as the Zanottis but will still give you the same colorblock effect.

Floral print is EVERYWHERE and on EVERYTHING right now. We’re seeing it on pants and denim, skirts, tops, dresses, accessories. And while I do love anything with a flower print on apparel I’m not 100% sure whether I love floral printed shoes just as much because I usually prefer clear lines and clear patterns on my footwear. However, these Dollhouse floral espadrille platforms sure are attention grabbers – & in a good way I think. These would look great with a summery white dress or solid colored capri pants, especially the bright pink or turquoise version. What do you think? Help me make a decision: are these shoes hot or not?
