One of the pros of wearing a high-low hem is that you can show off your pretty shoes like what Kate Upton did at the Met Gala.

Jimmy Choo 'Mantle' jeweled flower metallic sandals

It has been a while since I made a post about Jimmy Choo and I think this is the best time to make one because of this very special sandals. It is rarely do I get impressed with 3D metallic embellishment on shoes because despite its being dainty, I don't have much time or place or event to wear them. For me, it is a crime to buy really beautiful and expensive shoes  that you will only get to wear once or twice a year. However, I would like to emphasize that I really like beautiful shoes and this Jimmy Choo metallic sandals with the most gorgeous 3D flower embellishment really sparked my interest. I couldn't stop staring at those flowers. 

For the stats: its lacquered heel measures 110mm, metallic leather upper with 3D metal flower and rhinestones. You can buy at neimanmarcus.com for $1995.

Charlotte Olympia 'Birthday' flats

The moment I laid my eyes on these Charlotte Olympia  'Birthday' flats, I already know that it should have a post in this blog. These shoes are way off to what the designer is known for but it is, to my taste, the most adorable flats to win my choosy shoe heart!

Charlotte Olympia 'Birthday Aquarius' flats.

These flats are from the designer's Cosmic Collection. I thought the collection is about the moon and stars adorning the ubiquitous exaggerated platforms of the designer but to my surprise it was actually the signs of the zodiac. I am an Aquarian and I wouldn't mind wearing my sign. 

The 1/2-inch golden heel creates a nice contrast to the suede with metallic leather piping. The almond toe is adorned with a crystal embellished zodiac sign.

The collection is available at Neiman Marcus and if you would like to add this to your shoe collection, you can start pre-ordering now. (Click on the link if you must.) Guess what? You can also order a clutch to match your flats.

This is available at Net-A-Porter for $995.
