Evening Pumps

Thursday July 9, 2009

evening_pumps.jpgWant to make an impact at your next evening event? Of course, pretty evening sandals would do the trick, but sometimes they get lost in a sea of glitzy, strappy, heels. Instead, try a pair of sexy pumps with fancy trim or embellishments, for a look that's classic and head-turning.

I'm particularly smitten with these soutache-trimmed pumps from Martinez Valero. They remind me of a pair of Louboutins I wanted a few years back, but, at less than $150, they're a fraction of the price.

Also available in black, red, or the perfect shade of pink, these open-toed pumps have 4.5" heels and partially-concealed .5" platform soles.

If this type of braided trim isn't your thing, don't worry. Glamorously-embellished footwear is going to be hot in the coming seasons, so you'll have plenty of ruffles, feathers, bows and lace to choose from.
