Most especially that these Yves Saint Laurent loafer pumps retail for $1,695, even the tiniest dent on the metal plate would feel as big as the dent these shoes will make on your bank account.

Check out the much talked-about and in the running for the title of Spring 2012′s “It” shoe, the Yves Saint Laurent shield loafer pumps. Do you find these shoes RAD or BAD? :

Yves Saint Laurent metal-plated loafer pumps in black suede, $1,695.00

They also come in this pretty and even more dirt-attracting pink color:

Jennifer wore these Jimmy Choo Kiln crystal and suede peep toe booties in nude for her guest appearance. We’ve actually spotted her in the fuchsia pink color of these very same Jimmy booties before, at the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas last September to be exact:

Jennifer wore these Jimmy Choo Kiln crystal and suede peep toe booties in nude for her guest appearance. We’ve actually spotted her in the fuchsia pink color of these very same Jimmy booties before, at the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas last September to be exact:

Jennifer Lopez (with her signature J.Lo smoldering facial expression) arrives for an appearance at “The Late Show with David Letterman” studios in New York City on January 30, 2012

I have issues with that unnecessarily fur-trimmed beige coat Jennifer Lopez is wearing (it has fur… in the pleats!) but with the shoes, of course I have none. If there’s one shoe style that Jimmy Choo has got on lock, it’s the jeweled evening sandal. And this Jimmy Choo ‘Kiln’ is the jeweled evening sandal perfected.

Just check out those huge crystal rocks sewn on the suede and mesh vamp! :

Jimmy Choo Kiln crystal and suede peep toe booties, $998.00 (was $1,995.00)

These $1,995.00 Jimmy Choo Kiln peep toe booties from the Fall/Winter 2011 collection are now marked down to $998.00 at Jimmy Choo. I can just imagine Jennifer Lopez thinking, “Ooh, these shoes are 50% off! I can get them in two colors!”.

But of course, that’s Jennifer Lopez to whom $998.00 is probably just a drop in the bucket. For many of us, we need less expensive options. And thankfully, we’ve got these studded, beaded, mesh, satin and suede styles from more affordable shoe brands:

1. Penny Loves Kenny Journey metal-studded strappy pump, $72.24 (was $84.99)
2. Zigi Girl Epiphany jewel and rhinestone studded satin and mesh sandal, $89.99
3. Chinese Laundry Hands Up ruffled dot mesh peep toe pump, $89.99 (was $99.99)

Jimmy Choo also just recently came out with a non-jeweled version of the ‘Kiln’ for their latest collection called ‘Kerfield”. See if you like that version more at Bluefly.

I immediately fell in love with the black color option of the ‘Lyons’ and envisioned it paired with a pretty red wrap dress or white sundress for a pin up inspired look. The coral and taupe options are really pretty as well and a bit more subtle.

I love the quality and craftsmanship of Giuseppe Zanotti shoes. The new spring styles are all so fresh and fun that I can’t decide which pair I’ll allow to destroy my budget. I’m featuring a suede bow embellished sandal, a color block peep toe pump, and a suede and Swarovski crystal embellished sling back.

All of these sky high heels are ideal for spring and summer. They each have an element of femininity and freshness that I love in Giuseppe Zanotti shoes. The only thing that would keep me from snagging all of them are the price tags. Let’s check ‘em out and decide which pair you’d go for.

Giuseppe Zanotti 140MM Patent Peep Toe Pumps USD695

Giuseppe Zanotti Suede and Swarovski Crystal Sandals USD1150

Do you see what I mean? Zoe has an amazing body and great skin tone, which I wish she had shown off ...Read more]]> The always chic and sexy Zoe Saldana was spotted at the recent SAG Awards wearing a lovely pair of Giuseppe Zanotti shoes and a long white Givenchy Couture gown. While I find myself smitten with Zoe’s shoe choice here, I think she could have chosen a much better dress for the occasion. Let’s take a look at her ensemble.

Do you see what I mean? Zoe has an amazing body and great skin tone, which I wish she had shown off a bit more. While I appreciate the craftsmanship and artistic value of this gown I think Zoe could have done better. Imagine these heels paired with a strapless or even long sleeved black lace gown.  Even a more form fitting nude option would have been more complementary to Zoe’s look here.

I searched high and low for these beautiful shoes with no luck. However, I did find a couple of similar styles from Giuseppe Zanotti that would be great for evening wear and formal occasions. Check ‘em out.

Giuseppe Zanotti Metallic Leather Peep Toe Mary Jane Pumps USD850

I found these lovely metallic Mary Janes at Saks Fifth Avenue. I could see these paired with several colors such as black, red, or white. They would work with evening gowns as well as cocktail dresses or maybe a pair of fun shimmery pants.

Giuseppe Zanotti Colorblock Patent Leather Peep Toe Pump USD750

This is also a very similar and fun style. I would love to see Zoe in this style paired with a black or turquoise dress. They would also look nice with black skinny trousers or even denim.

What do you think of Zoe Saldana’s look at the recent SAG Awards? Do you like her gown and shoe combo or do you feel like she could have went with a better dress? Tell us what you think!
