L.A.M.B., singer Gwen Stefani’s clothing line, has always gone the funky route when it comes to their shoe collection. So while I was expecting super trendy shoe styles for the new crop of L.A.M.B. shoes, I was pleasantly surprised to see that instead, the collection has a lot of retro undertones to it. Many designs were even obviously inspired by footwear from the past, and if it weren’t for L.A.M.B.’s signature high heel, would look very much like the genuine retro and vintage shoes we’ve feature here on RetroVintageShoes.

Here are 5 of L.A.M.B.’s retro-inspired shoes:

Straight from your mother’s 70s couch: L.A.M.B. Verdu, $329.00

Here’s L.A.M.B.’s take on the spectator shoe. The creamy brown and fondant pink combination is scrumptious. L.A.M.B. Valeria, $307.00.

One of the two oxfords in this list. See if you prefer this dressier peep toe ankle boot. L.A.M.B. Hip, now only $205.00.

These L.A.M.B. Valisas ($363.00) are the more goth oxfords, but maybe they’re easier to wear because of the 1″ hidden platform which effectively brings down the dizzying 4 1/2″ heel on these shoes to just 3 1/2″?

And last but not least, the L.A.M.B. Vails. The basketweave platforms on these resemble espadrilles, but the first thing you’ll really notice about these shoes is the gorgeous retro diamond print. $303.00.
