Schutz ‘Fiona’ red studded t-bar pumps, $185
Remember the studded t-bars Valentino released last year, in both flat and heeled versions? I was instantly reminded of them when I saw these ‘Fiona’ pumps by Shutz: they don’t have quite the same amount of sheer flair as the Valentinos, but they have a similar, spiky t-bar strap, which is enough to give the suggestion of that style, without totally copying it.
Despite their resemblance to a high-end designer shoe, however, these aren’t exactly a “budget” buy at $185. They’re a while lot cheaper than Valentino, though, and the combination of bright red upper and gold spikes gives them a lot of impact too, which is always a good thing in my book!
[Buy them]
I love t-straps and I love pointed toes but put them together and they just look…wrong somehow. I guess it’s because I see t-straps as youthful and pointed toes as grown up and sophisticated and just can’t reconcile the differences.
Ankle strap. ARGH!
Pretty shoes, named after me! Yay!
