Viktor and Rolf multi-strap platform sandals

It's officially summer in the Philippines and the sun is shining brightly than usual this time of the year. The sky is clear, which is perfect if you want to have a tan. And since I am speaking of how bright the sun is, complement it with the brightest colors available in your wardrobe. If you don't normally wear bright colored clothes, why not try colors on your feet? This Viktor & Rolf sandals is as bright as the sun. I like the shoelace like thing going on and the cute bow on the toe is just perfect. Its heel measures 11.5 cm with a platform of 3 cm. Wear this with a white dress, sunnies and some bangles.

This is available at yoox.com for $791. It also comes in dark blue and black.

Viktor and Rolf striped sandals

I haven't seen anything quite like it--zebra prints are an exception, and it bothers me that it resembles something else.  No! Not Paris Hilton's striped wedges... those are Christian Louboutin's, by the way.  I am thinking more of Halloween... skeletons!  Look.

I love geometric designs, I actually featured Alexander McQueen's pumps and I adore them.  If these sandals by Viktor and Rolf were in different color, I might want to have it... but since it is not, it will just fall at the back of the closet with other Halloween costumes.  You can view the full specs of these sandals here, though.
