I love the look of a posh, sophisticated leather mule. This one from Manolo Blahnik might be my favorite. Simple stated, it has defined stitching on a sleek pointed toe and a self-covered, 4.5″ sky-high pin-stiletto heel. These tend to run a half-size small but are extremely comfortable and elevate your look.

I have a love for polka dots. I also love calf hair. You combine the two together the way Manolo Blahnik did with his playful spin on the monochrome trend – “amore a prima vista”! The “BB pump” is an optic dot print dyed on calf hair. The black and white dotted gradient graphic adds a touch of whimsy and an ultra-mod edge to an ultra-feminine, timeless pointy-toe pump.  The 4″ stiletto black wood heel completes the perfectly sculpted footwear accessory. It was love at first sight when I spotted this pump and it fits like a glove. This is no Cinderella fairy tale, these are Manolo’s.

A caged bootie that won’t confine your style but rather define it. The “Poslyna” from Manolo Blahnik is about as fierce as it gets with a distinctively sexy and sophisticated, sleek city look. The peep toe bootie has a  4″ stiletto heel with back zip. Manolo’s iconic stiletto, which is the brand’s mainstay, has become a symbol of pure classical style. The bootie looks as if it would be uncomfortable, restricting and torture to walk in. Instead the leather cage construction is light, lithe and extremely comfortable. A well designed shoe indeed! This is my first pair of Manolo’s and now I know what the rage is all about. The shoe molds to your foot. Unique, classy, edgy and best of all, Saks had them on sale! A steal of a deal. After all, it would have been a crime to pay full price. Empower your look this year. Be iconic.
