L.A.M.B. - Justice Sandal

Now there is a slight possibility that the reason why I love these shoes is because they have the flag colors of my country (Jamaica) and perhaps the shoes are inspired by the inland...I mean Gwen Stefani's eldest son is named Kingston.  Either way these stripy colorful sandals definitely remind me of the island and are a hot summer pick.

Charlotte Olympia Isla Palm Leaf Sandals

First think I thought of when I saw these sandals was sipping a Mojito on an island most likely because of the palm leaf detail or perhaps because it's been a long day and I simply want a Mojito.  Regardless, I just love love love these signature island brains platform sandals by Charlotte Olympia.  So much so that I have resolved to finally buy a pair of her shoes for the Spring/Summer.  Now I just have to decide on which pair(s)...this will be fun and I'll post pics on instagram to get your suggestions.  You can find me instagrm at @shoebytch so follow and help me pick!

Giuseppe Zanotti Neon Platforms (E20274)

Have you ever seen a pair of shoes that are just completely oxymoronic?  Like controlled craziness?  That's how I feel about these Giuseppe Zanotti platforms they are far enough out there to make a statement but familiar enough that you feel comfortable walking in them.  Sometimes I feel as if shoe designers are mad scientists working in a lab...messing with things to come up with new concoctions and this time it worked Mr. Znotti.  What do you guys think of these platforms for the Spring?

S/S 2012 Versace Sandals

As I listened to my boyfriend drudge on and on about the importance of planning and the future...blah blah blah.  I said to myself "Self...he's got a point", so I started looking up sandals for next summer. Though I'm sure this wasn't his point I was still able to make lemonade out of lemons and find something to share with you all.  For their Spring/Summer 2012 collection Versace has decided to bring back their popular edgy architectural style sandals.  The sharp edges are reminiscent of the various Finsk shoes I've featured in the past (I'm not sure who came first but either way me likey).
