Pointed

I used to associate cap-toe shoes with old ladies and always found them to be aging. However, lately I’ve seen quite a few outstanding examples which I wouldn’t mind wearing myself. Case in point: these simple black pointed pumps with a gold cap-toe by Yves Saint Laurent. That’s sophistication and elegance unified! It’s quite the understated shoe with just the right amount of extravagance! And a hefty price tag, of course! It is YSL after all.

Wow! I can’t really describe these Christian Louboutin Duvette Metallic and Patent-Leather Pumps in any other way. Far away from demure, these pumps are reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour and spark nostalgia within me. There is something special about these pumps that I can’t quite get a grasp of. The cutouts embossed with gold truly bring luxury to the table, and as usual the sophistication of this shoe is what makes Louboutin so iconic. If you’re as head over heels for these pumps as I am, than the steal below is simply a must see!

Ivanka Trump “Gurdian” Pumps

Ivanka Trump is really becoming the superwoman of this century, adding another occupation to her résumé. But I have to her immense credit because I love the “Gurdian” Pumps. The snakeskin pattern on the golden panels really adds a nice flair and shows her take on this unique design. These pumps are faux replication at its best and for $94.99 are worth every penny.

These shoes aren’t meant for long walks, but rather, to be candy for the feet. Slick and feminine, these heels by Jimmy Choo are definitely built for style. But aren’t there times in our lives when the Wow!-factor is exactly what we crave? Okay, there are many times – and for those instances, shoes like these were made. But is the price tag worth the amount of mileage they’ll get compared to the rest of your collection? We can relate, so keep an eye out for a copycat below.

Not only do these more affordable heels by ALDO fit our show-stopping needs, but just how amazing are they in bright fuchsia and tangerine? So, if you are eager to put them on display, start by wearing them to dinner and sitting at the bar. Remember to keep the rest of your outfit simple, so all eyes will be on those amazing heels.

If you’ve never worn flats to work because they seem too informal, these pointy confections by Christian Louboutin may just be the anecdote. They are certainly among the most luxurious I’ve ever seen, and yet oddly familiar…like a pair that Holly Golightly might have pulled out from underneath the bed looking for her crocodile shoes in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Of course, although these are fantastic, perhaps you may want to check out the other options below if your budget doesn’t allow for such a large investment.

Ivanka Trump “Annulio” Pointed Flats

This lovely option by Ivanka Trump, is both ladylike and modern at the same time. Perfectly polished for work, and yet they have a little added flirtatiousness to them as well. If there ever was a pair of flats that could look fabulous with a skirt, it’s got to be these. The pointy toe will elongate your legs, while the small heel elevates the foot just enough to give you support, and not completely betraying you at the end of the day with cramped toes. Plus, the patent leather is very easy to maintain. These are currently available in black, coral, lime, burgundy, grey and nude patent leather as well as matte black leather.

If you love wearing stylish flats, consider investing in a quality pair that you’ll keep reaching for year after year! Plus, choosing a bright shade like Kelly Green is a great way to update your favorite weekend skinny jeans.

Report “Gonzalez” Pointed Flats

If you like to have a pair of shoes on standby for those days where you can’t even fathom wearing any kind of heel, the answer is this pair by Report. Perhaps you might try this more matte version with some sleek black leggings and a sweater dress? I definitely love my heels, but this is one very convincing alternative… especially for when I need to look polished but my toes require a vacation. This pair is available in black, chestnut or nude patent leather.

Pour La Victoire “Bre” Pointed Flats

If you loved the color choices above, check out even more bright options with this beautifully constructed version by Pour La Victoire. While the shape of the shoe does provide a more polished look, you can really have fun and modernize with a some color by combining a fuchsia pair with your classic gray suit. Wear them also with tailored pants, or tapered capris! And why not invite your pretty a-line and full skirts to the party too? Just make sure to keep those skirt hems above the knee for the most flattering silhouette.(Shoes pictured are available in various colors and uppers.)

These heels by Casadei are nothing short of fierce, a perfect blend of minimalistic steel with curvaceously constructed leather. If these shoes were inspired by a piece of furniture, I’d guess it was the sultry Barcelona Chair by Mies van der Rohe. Only thing is, the now sold-out pair cost almost as much! But of course, we always have another option, so see for yourself what an amazing deal we found below.
