Designer Pumps: Splurge vs. Steal

Christian Louboutin is the first name most women now associate with luxury footwear. With the brand becoming a household name, Jennifer Lopez even wrote a song about her Louboutins. I love Louboutin’s classic Platform Pump, which is incredibly simple and chic.

However, if you’re not ready for that type of splurge quite yet, check out the Go Max Justice pump from the Runway by Kmart collection. It mimics the signature red heel of Louboutin and features a beautiful checkerboard-like texture. Love!

Pumps With Color

Just when I thought platform heels couldn’t get any better, these clever designers went and made the platform a different color from the rest of the shoe. Basically, an instant way to add splashes of color to whatever you are wearing. I’m currently in the process of deciding which of these fabulous Aldo pairs to snag for this weekend’s festivities.
