How to be creative with a nude pump, that’s not easy. A nude pump is especially for women with short legs a great invention as it lengthen the leg. Unfortunately that illusion is a bit lost with these Giuseppe Zanotti Snakeskin Patchwork platofrm pumps. But you get some great eyecatchers back!

Or a Louboutin, Alexander McQueen, Dior, etc…

You know, I love shoes very much. I am a huge fan of Jimmy Choo, despite the recent couple of not-so-wonderfull shoe ideas. Other great designers like Louboutin and Alexander McQueen have of course also designed a huge collection of beauties. But, like most women, my budget does not allow me to just buy every designer shoe I want. Still, I would love, like most women, to have a pair of Louboutins on my feet. So, how can that be arranged? Renting the shoes might be a good answer to that question.

The idea is not new. After nine months however, it seems LXP did not really expand the collection. Cinderella-Me starts with a much bigger and richer collection. I admit it’s not having the shoes, but it comes quite close. A big concern would be smell and hygiene. But they have thought about that. Every shoe is blasted with bacteria-killing UV light and steam before sent out to the customer.

Too bad, it seems they don’t ship international. If they did, I probably would have tried it out. Would you?

Color your life with these Emilio Pucci Colorfull leather peep-toe pumps. Available with a  purple, fuchsia or salmon-pink base color. Very nice for spring. Let’s hope it comes fast now. Because of the pattern every shoe is unique. This would absolutely be a great shoe for one of the first beautifull sunny days in spring. Would be… because I’m not so sure about the 4 inch (10 cm) metalic stiletto heel. What a pitty…

A recessed platform is something what seems to come back every season. That’s not a problem, on the contrary! It’s always a nice eyecatcher. Especially when it’s a bit different compared to the material of the shoe. This Dune Shimmer Pumps uses a wood effect for the platform, but also for the 4½ inch (11 cm) high heel. The leather has a bit of gold shimmer tone in it. Conclusion: This is a very nice stylish pump for a very neat price.
