Shopping at Luisa Via Roma

Luisa Via Roma is now ready for Spring/Summer. So guys, put down your coats and kick off your winter boots for a little while and let us enjoy virtual shopping for SS shoes at one of my favorite shopping sites...

Mirror Image: Chloe suede and cork platform sandal vs. Rosegold 'Pana'

I featured Chloe's gladiator sandal last November and with one strap less comes Rosegold's 'Pana' sandal with the same cork heel and platform and suede upper. And between the two, I prefer Rosegold's because it fits my limited budget. 

Get Chloe's gladiator sandals at Zoe for $750. Rosegold's 'Pana' is available at Bloomingdale's for $168.

Chloe platform gladiator sandal

Hello Spring!  It's still months away but I am already excited because it is the time that I can freely wear my sandals.  And I think I'm gonna include this Chloe platform gladiator sandal in my collection.  It is made of suede with cork platform and heel.  This shoe is from the brand's Spring 2011 collection.  It is already available online but on a pre-order term only.  This is $750.

Pretty Flats

Prada metallic snakeskin print flats with diamante details, $249.95.

Celine round toe ballet flats with buttons and buckle details, $356.34.

 

Chloe ballet flats with bow detail, $339.68.

 

 

 L' Autre Chose suede ballet flats with lace detail, $120.49.

I wanted to shoe you more but it will take me hours to finish this post.  You can check all of these pretty flats and more at Yoox.  Browsing that site is so addicting.

Chloe bowed wedge

Let me continue with my regular entry about normal and wearable shoes.  I briefly and intentionally interrupted you guys to show Mod Cloth's answer to Marc Jacobs' mouse ballet flats--a rabbit wedge.

So, here now is Chloe's gorge bow wedge with contrast stitching and strap.  This would be perfect to wear during a board meeting, ribbon cutting, awarding and other formal business functions.  You can have this at Jildor for $695.

See by Chloe crochet ankle tie platform sandal

Shoelaces are making a comeback in the world of high-heels and this ankle tie platform from See by Chloe is a better version of what we can see on the runways.  I love the sandal's nautical feel and the crocheted straps are very unique for a shoe.  See yourself wearing this with a flowy dress or shorts that shows your perfectly toned gams while walking along the bay and waiting for the sun to set... of course with your beau.

Get this at Farfetch for $370.
