    Giuseppe Zanotti studded toe cap ballet flats

    giuseppe zanotti ballet flats Giuseppe Zanotti studded toe cap ballet flats

    Leave it to good ol’ Giuseppe Zanotti to give a little bit of bite to the classic ballet flat.

    At £380, these are way, WAY more than I’d ever pay for a pair of flats – in fact, you’d have to knock one digit off the end of that figure to get me to even consider it. But the studded toe caps on these are completely covetable (and just a little bit lethal looking. OK, a big bit.) and that’s why, in the entirely fictional world inside my head, in which £380 magically becomes a reasonable price to pay for a pair of flats, I’d totally buy these.

    In real life, meanwhile? Not a chance. But if you want to, you can do it here.

    So, you all know how much I love toecap pumps, right? And you also know how much I love Giuseppe Zanotti? And bows? I don’t actually have to explain to you why I love this combination of all three, then, right?

    Actually, the bows on these shoes probably DO require some further examination, because they’re particularly cute ones:

    If I’d seen these without the shoes, I wouldn’t have thought they’d have worked: the bows are cute, but the shoes are elegant, and that’s a combination that can be difficult to pull off. I think these have managed it, though, and if you need further persuasion, just take a look at the back view:

    Shoeper-duper.

    giuseppe zanotti amber Giuseppe Zanotti Amber yellow suede platform sandals

    When I first came across these shoes, I thought ‘Amber’ was the name of the style, and I got really excited thinking that, hey, Giuseppe Zanotti had named a shoe after me, so I’d just HAVE to buy it. Well, it would be the very least I could do, wouldn’t it?

    Sadly, ‘Amber’ is just the name of the colour, not of the shoe itself, so I have no such excuse. I do still love the shoes, though: I have two pairs in this colour now, and find it surprisingly versatile, as well as being very eye-catching, and the shape is rather stunning too, with its skyscraper heel and crossover vamp.

    “Amber” definitely gets the Amber seal of approval, then, and if you’d like to give her YOUR seal of approval too, you can click here to buy her. And I’ll stop speaking about the shoe as if it’s a person now…

    giuseppe zanotti blue platform sandals ShoeperStar: Jennifer Hudson in blue suede Giuseppe Zanotti bow platforms

    Oh, wow.

    I knew I loved these Giuseppe Zanotti platform sandals when I showed you them as part of my SS2012 Roundup last month, but I love them even more now that I’ve actually seen them on a pair of feet!

    The feet in question belong to Jennifer Hudson, who wore  these to the premiere of Think Like a Man last week:

    Jennifer wore these with a colourblocked mini skirt, plain white t-shirt, and a blue necklace, which picks up the shade of the shoes. The skirt is much shorter than anything I’d wear myself, but I love the mix of colours here – and I really love the shoes!

    What do you think?

    Ah, I love me some toecap pumps!

    Most of the ones I seem to find, mind you, tend to be of the tan and black persuasion, so it’s refreshing to come across a pair which use the much more unusual colour combination of gold and pink. These are by Giambattista Valli, and are $685 at My Theresa (click here to buy them). I also love this green and navy version by Giuseppe Zanotti:

    These are a tiny bit less expensive, too: they’re $432 at Colette: click here to buy them.

    Capture2 Shoeper Roundup: Giuseppe Zanotti Spring/Summer 2012 shoes

     

    It’s no good, readers: I told myself I wouldn’t write about Giuseppe Zanotti for AT LEAST a couple of weeks, because I know I’ve featured the shoes a lot here, but these styles from the Spring/Summer 2012 collection are just too amazing not to share. And obviously I’m speaking figuratively here: if these shoes were mine, there’s no WAY I’d share them. Not even with you, lovely reader.

    As you’d expect from Zanotti, some of these are just utterly ridiculous. Others, however, are the very definition of awesome, and yes, green suede platforms, I AM talking to you.

    These are all available at Louisa Via Roma, and once you’ve had a look at the gallery, you can click here to take your pick!

    giuseppe zanotti red shoes Giuseppe Zanotti red patent peep toes with wooden heel

    I spotted these shoes at Net-a-Porter just before Christmas, and have had them on my Shoeper List ever since. I’ve also spent a fair bit of time, well, just looking at them, basically. But enough about that.

    I really like the vague 70s vibe of these, with the chunky front and the wooden heel, and the curved peep toe. I think they’ll look particularly good in summer, but the tomato-red upper will work year round, and they’re the kind of shoes that could even look good with tights, if you like that look.

    These are by Giuseppe Zanotti, they’re £440, and you can click here to buy them at Net-a-Porter.

    Shoe Deja Vu: Giuseppe Zanotti Vs Sam Edelman

    giuseppe zanotti sam edelman Shoe Deja Vu: Giuseppe Zanotti Vs Sam Edelman

    Now, I know the execution is different here, but bold black and white stripes with a bright yellow heel is unusual enough for it to seem unlikely that Sam Edelman and Guiseppe Zanotti just happened to come up with exactly the same idea, doesn’t it?

    I showed you the Zanottis a few weeks ago, and continue to covet them, although I guess the Edleman version is a whole lot more budget-friendly, at just $110 compared to the $750 you’d pay to Zanotti.

    Both shoes are available at Shopbop: click here to take a look!
