The Perfect Valentine’s Day Shoe

While I do tend to grav­i­tate towards black shoes, I must admit that Valentine’s Day is the per­fect excuse to indulge my love of all things pink, red and delight­fully heart-shaped. I’ve been on the look­out in my quest for the per­fect Valentine’s Day heel, and I think I’ve found some beauties!

These sexy lit­tle strappy plat­form san­dals in red python from Chi­nese Laun­dry are at the top of my list this year! I love the burst of color against the beau­ti­ful tex­ture and could totally envi­sion these at the office with tights and maybe a tight red cardi­gan to pull the entire out­fit together. If the red is a lit­tle to bright for your taste, these also come in black and beige.

For the more tra­di­tional girl, you can’t go wrong with a del­i­cate suede heart bal­anced upon rows of dec­o­ra­tive stitch­ing and a beau­ti­fully lady­like plat­form peep-toe. That sub­tle peek a boo of per­fectly pedi­cured toes will have you beloved drop­ping to their knees to wor­ship at your feet!

For a walk on the wild side, try these Alexan­der McQueen heart-shaped peep toe pumps on for size. I love the out­ra­geously yel­low sole and heel accents — there’s some­thing very rock n’ roll, very tight leather jeans and low cut tops about these shoes. But if you don’t want to break your bud­get, Frederick’s car­ries an equally adorable and much more afford­able ver­sion in black, pink, and red.

And for the fab­u­lous fash­ion­ista who loves to play around with fash­ion and just have fun — these Vivi­enne West­wood Anglo­ma­nia + Melissa Lady Dragon sling­backs are the grownup equiv­a­lent of wear­ing your heart on your sleeve.

What will you be wear­ing on Valentine’s Day? Me — I hope to be wear­ing a fab­u­lous pair of heels…and lit­tle else!
