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’m a sucker for all things ASOS, but in the last few months and weeks I kind of fell out of love with it a little. The new arrivals didn’t thrill me, promotions became fewer and not so attractive and I just wasn’t feeling like shopping there. Obvioulsly that changed today when I saw a buck load of new bright and colorful arrivals which ignited the spark again. Check out my latest ASOS obsessions below and let me know what you think of my selection. Oooh, and if you decide to shop at ASOS in the coming days, there’s a great promo going right now until 01/22/2012: spend $150 or more and get $30 OFF full price items. Simply enter code “USSAVE30” at checkout to see your savings!

So I know I blogged about Yves Saint Laurent‘s Palais pumps before, but the yellow version is just so lovely I had to dedicate them a post on their own. I remember first seeing them in yellow on The Shoegirl’s blog who called them her banana shoes (haha, so true! 
). I have yet to purchase my first pair of yellow shoes… do you own yellow shoes? I’d love to make these YSLs mine, but a) they’re so sold out by now and b) even if they weren’t, they’d be way out of my regular shoe shopping budget, so off I was to search for a more wallet-friendly alternative…

P.S.: Also available in dark green suede at MyTheresa

Kelsi Dagger “Abrielle” Platform Pumps
UPDATE (11/17/2011): These Kelsi Dagger pumps are probably one of the most blatant knockoffs I’ve ever come across, but I kind of love them. Why? Because they’re way more accessible at $129.95 than at $700+. Available in yellow, orange, green, blue and black suede as well as black patent.

Promise “Lego” Platform Pumps
As with the blue Palais version, Promise once again comes to a broke fashionista’s rescue. But at that time no one had this knockoff in yellow which changed recently when I spied these YSL look-a-likes at Heels.com. Yes, it’s more of a mustard color than a true sunshiney yellow, but at $54.99 I won’t be the one to complain. Also available in black or fuchsia faux suede.

I’ve been feeling the winter blues lately. Ever since switching back to standard time days have become short and shorter, the weather gets gloomier every day and on top of that I caught my second cold this season. Blech! However, as soon as I laid my eyes on this beautiful sunshine yellow coat by Karen Millen I felt instantly better. Turns out all one needs to cheer sick ol’ me up, is a bright pop of yellow on a beautiful item of clothing!
