E20378 Platform Sandal in Nera, $1,055, Giuseppe Zanotti

On the forefront, a patent leather platform sandal takes the center stage due to its sleek design and rather sculptural heel. It is steep, measuring about 6 inches high and to be honest, the price is up there too, tagged at $1,055.

But it is gorgeous, and it’s easy to understand why this particular platform sandal would cost so much. Like any Zanotti, this shoe will surpass trends and stay consistently chic for seasons to come, not just this year’s spring.

There is a cheaper alternative to this platform sandal, and still from Giuseppe Zanotti. In fact, it is virtually the same shoe but with slight changes to the height and the finish of the platform of the heel. While the former has a wooden finish, this one features a metallic gold gloss to match the gold tone hardware of the shoe.

E20165 Platform Sandal in Nero, $895, Giuseppe Zanotti

In addition, Endless features a sculptural, multi-cuff bracelet from the brand that makes a great accessory to the glamorous sandal.

Yes, I’m talking about the upcoming Chinese New Year. The 23rd of January will see the beginning of the Year of the Dragon which is said to be a transformational, life-changing year.

Net-a-Porter is in a similarly festive mood, featuring items decked in the red and gold colors associated with Chinese celebration! Their collection is gorgeous! And the shoes are very much on the mark as far as the theme is concerned. I picked out 3 favorites: glamorous pumps and sandals apt for such an explosive occasion!

Embroidered suede sandals, $795, Vionnet

Emulate the wavy movement of the Chinese dragon with these high-heeled platform sandals from Vionnet. It features red, black and white embroidery on its suede body on top of over 5 inches of patent leather heels! Highly recommended with a short, bright red dress!

Bunting metallic leather sandals, $895, Jimmy Choo

Count on Jimmy Choo to bring on the glamour with the artistic application of bunting! The slim gold leather and cutout black twill straps of these high-heeled sandals are reminiscent of Oriental room dividers that veil as well as reveal. Your gold crepe dress or metallic-themed outfit will find its match with these beautiful sandals.

Masako silk-satin pumps, $875, Charlotte Olympia

Your LBD will appreciate this zingy pair of pumps from Charlotte Olympia! It features red and hot pink silk satin in an unlikely updating of the hot red shoes! Along with a shockingly red shade of lipstick, even you will stand out in a festival of fire-breathing dragons. Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Canvas Wedge Sandals, $695, Pierre ...Read more]]> It would seem that colorblock, platform sandals will be hot for spring this year. I’m following up our feature of those gorgeous Giuseppe Zanotti patent platform sandals with Pierre Hardy’s canvas wedge sandals, now declared by several fashion magazines as one of the top shoes to watch out for this spring.

Canvas Wedge Sandals, $695, Pierre Hardy

We found the pretty ladies on Net-a-Porter, featuring 6-inch high wedges and 2-inches of platform. Its wavy canvas straps are in brightly colored hues, including color of the year: tangerine tango!

While patent leather like on the sherbet-colored Zanotti sandals create such drama, I believe Hardy did a good job of using canvas which is much more practical and easier to maintain. It is a gorgeous pair of wedges that anybody would love to wear every single day.

In styling, Net-a-Porter recommends picking out any of the colors and incorporating them in your outfit. Cropped or capri pants will show them off nicely. Full colored pieces, simple in design like this white Chloé shirt, and the royal blue Phillip Lim cropped pants tastefully highlight the fun sandals.

Hollywood super stylist Rachel Zoe

While I’m personally ...Read more]]> I admittedly find Rachel Zoe intriguing. Aside from making a name for herself as a stylist with great love for retro and vintage fashion, she is quite the character with her addiction to caffeine, passion for work, and her slightly neurotic yet enthusiastic catchphrases like, “Bananas!” or “I die!”

Hollywood super stylist Rachel Zoe

While I’m personally surprised about her launching her own collection in 2011 (I always thought she’d stay away from designing), her pieces are impressive and project her very personality and luxurious taste. Case in point: her two new shoes on Shopbop which exude both vintage glamour and regard for modern trends. Check them out!

Blake High Heel Sandals, $325

Black suede and cream-colored linen combine to form these two-tone, platform sandals. The shoes affix to your feet quite nicely, and in so many ways, as it features a buttoned ankle strap, an elastic instep strap, and a lace-up tie at the heel cap.

And this wouldn’t be a Rachel Zoe creation without over five inches of heels! Cute, classy, and definitely risqué!

Kayne Wedge Sandals, $375

Rachel Zoe does another suede number with these purple wedge sandals. I love the contrast of the stacked wood detail to the plush royal purple, placed ingeniously at the foot bed.

Also a fun feature, the extreme cutouts and tassels at the lace-up tie. It’s like a marriage of deco and the 1970s! It also comes in blush which is immediately the tamer and sweeter twin sister.

Patent Colorblock Sandals, $695, Giuseppe Zanotti

I stumbled onto these platform sandals whilst sourcing for maxi dresses on Shopbop. I thought I’ve died and gone to heaven! They stand on over 5 inches of chunky heel (which is a Zanotti standard) and 2 inches of platform colored in delicious sherbet colors of yellow, blue, and pink. Can I say, ‘yum’?

The black, buckled ankle strap serves as a great contrast for the bright colors and is a tasteful element that makes the shoe sophisticated and not over the top. Oh if this doesn’t get you excited for the warmer weather then I don’t know what will.

Here are more bright and cute items on Shopbop which will pair off nicely with this Giuseppe Zanotti creation. Enjoy!
