☆ SHOWSTOPPERS ☆

I have more than a couple of showstoppers so show you this week!  There were at least a dozen items I wanted to put up but I have to leave something for the weeks to come. Enjoy!

Gianmarco Lorenzi 'suede platform sandals'
$669 / Available at farfetch.com

I DARE YOU TO TELL ME THAT THIS SHOE ISN'T HOT. Lorenzi is one of the best shoe designers I've come across; his designs are the epitome of creativity and strong femininity.

When you see a shoe like this you instantly think "I want!" But while it makes your heart skip a beat with desire, it also makes you anxious as you panic about what to wear with it.  I would wear them with more muted colors with the shoe because the shoe should speak louder than anything else I'm wearing (perhaps it could tie with my handbag.) When I'm walking down the street the first thing  you should notice are the shoes, not the other bright or crazily designed clothing items that I've paired them with.

I'd wear the shoes with the following:


Bottega Veneta 'Sheer fine-knit cardigan' / $850 / Available at net-a-porter.com
I think the tank is by Kain. It was on sale at net-a-porter.com but it's no longer available.
Dianve von Furstenberg 'Pareese Trousers' / $399.32 / Available at mytheresa.com

The cardigan isn't a muted color, however, I don't see it taking away from the shoes. I probably wouldn't even wear, just bring it along in case it becomes chilly. If you love this look but want a more affordable price. Madewell is a store that has a variation of the cardigan available every season, usualy costing about $50-70 (Madewell is located at Tysons Corner and Annapolis Mall if you live in the DC metropolitan area). I have a black cardigan from Madewell that looks pretty much like the Bottega Veneta one. As far as the pants, I've seen trouser pants in Urban Outfitters and on their website and I've seen a pair of Calvin Klein trousers at Bloomindale's, and I believe they were $98 (they didn't have my size unfortunately). The tank, of course, you can find almost anywhere.
