There is something great sometimes about looking at a modern shoe, and seeing all of its beautiful antique qualities, as I do with these Alberta Ferretti Shoe Booties There are so many vintage elements in this plum suede shoe from the curved heel to the pointed toe and the lace design.

I absolutely love these Philosophy di Alberta Feretti pumps. The combination of the grey suede and dark red patent is so striking, and all the details just make this a very hot shoe in a sexy librarian kind of way!
Besides being sexy, these pumps also look comfortable because of their hidden platform and chunky heel.
I really like how they are paired on this site with a black skirt, grey top and black hose. It looks very chic and makes the shoes the focus of the outfit, as they should be. When you have a shoe like this you don’t want them to clash or get lost with a very busy outfit. I would also pair these pumps with dark wide-legged jeans and a white blouse or black cashmere sweater.

I think this is a perfect example of shoes as art. I’m not sure if I could actually walk in these, but who cares?! They are beautiful. If I found it too difficult to prance around in these shoes, I’d put ‘em on a book shelf.

I know, I know… it’s still Spring, but I couldn’t resist showing you these. I’m very impressed with Alberta Ferretti’s designs for Fall, especially these beauties. That deep purple and the thick belt like straps are to die for. I love how they paired them with black opaque tights because it completes the look entirely.
