I’ve always been a little bit of a conservative dresser, or at least a very girly dresser.
Sure I’ll take lace, ruffles, and mini-skirts, but I preferred my solid colors and muted patterns.  I only bought my first leopard print dress last year, but then became obsessed with leopard print shoes.  I had to find the perfect pair of not too-high, but high enough leopard print shoes (ideally calf hair with a slight platform). These Giuseppe Zanotti peep toe pumps crept up on my slowly.  I am not necessarily one that has to have designer heels though I do appreciate a quality shoe.  I am trying to invest in a few beautifully constructed pairs of shoes because I have heard that the workmanship can be worth it.
I was intrigued by the Zanotti brand – their quality and designs are supposed to be Loubotin worthy according to a designer shoe loving friend.  I didn’t love that they were in a canvas print, but the curve of the heel, the not too high pitch of the shoe (90 cm), and the beautiful peep toe of this pair won me over. I bought this directly from a seller on TPF marketplace and was able to save almost $500 off the list price for a new pair of shoes (ouch right, where do they come up with list prices?)  The shoes are comfortable at the heel and toe though they hurt after I was standing for about 45 minutes at a cocktail party.  But I would definitely consider buying Zanottis again.
I may even be inspired to do a little Mad Men photo shoot!
These pumps are similar and less than $80 – has anyone tried shoes from Victoria’s secret?What are your current shoe lusts?
Ooh, I am in love with these – leopard print shoes are one of my weaknesses.
Regarding Victoria’s Secret shoes…I always find that the flats are fine, but the heels / wedges are a little difficult to navigate in. The in-step is always too steep for me, and makes me feel as if my ankle is breaking when I walk. Sadly, their shoes are so cute – but I’ve basically written them off. For reference, I wear 5-inch wedges/platforms all the time from other brands, so I’m not sure what the problem is. :/
Thanks for the feedback dear! I guess the Victoria’s Secret shoes are cute, but may not be great for walking around. I’ll keep that in mind!
These are gorgeous. I love the details on the back of the shoe.
Love these shoes! I think investing in footwear is the nicest thing you can do for your feet – especially if you wear heels everyday. The need to be comfortable!
Thank you dear! I know you have and would invest in great shoes as well. I’ll wait for you to do a reveal of your next awesome pair!
One word – Wow – this is a gorgeous head-turnig pair, love anything in leopard print and the fact that these gorgeous sandals are by by such an iconic designer is even better!
Thank you dear! I am a new lover of leopard print and there are such great details in this pair!
A classic pair of pumps – you can’t go wrong with leopard.
Your leopard heels are gorgeous…
It never goes out of style.
Thank you dear. It’s true – leopard print is always in style!
These are absolute stunners – and I can’t wait for the Mad Men photoshoot!!
Thanks dear and I really should do a little Mad Men shoot now!
Oh they look so beautiful and I like especially The V shaped detail on the heel!
Love!

Thank you dear! The heels are definitely comfortable and I love the detail too!
I did a similar leopard shoe quest last summer, and while I ultimately didn’t get my exact dream shoe, I got one that makes me pretty happy. These look gorgeous, I especially love the back cut out detail.
Those are crazy sexy!

Ooh, love these. Yes to the Mad Men pics!:-). Yes, I’ve tried shoes from VS(Colin something was the brand, I think). They weren’t very comfortable, but they were cute. This was years ago, so things may be different now…
They look so classy! And I love the leather detailing all around. Definitely need a pair of those!
