Summer Highs

Summer... Highs...


I know summer bling has already been featured but its just getting too hot to ignore the fact that we need some 'clean' and 'airy' shoes for the summer. Shoes that don't cramp our style and still are comfortable. Well this season has to offer plenty of jumping neons and classic with a twist. Well now, if you are like me you probably have a secret place in your heart for high heels and the following feature would be best suited to your needs.

Christian Lacroix Jewels

Debenhams Diamante Sandals


Tan T-Strap by Marks and Spencer

Formal Tweed

Printed Slingback Sandals by Scorah Pattullo

Racy Red

Summer Lows

Summer... Lows...

Okay here is the deal.... I live in Karachi and in the mid of April its extremely hot here not to mention the total blackouts and the load-shedding happening nowadays on a daily basis. Now at night when the weather cools off I want to go out and party with my friends and family. But alas, I need shoes, shoes which can withstand the 'partying' and yet remain 'cool' in the hot and humid climate here. Surprisingly on my last shopping spree I came across some classic yet unresistable black evening pieces by at the local Marie Claire outlet at Bata. Here are some of the interesting ones.




These shoes are simple, classic, formal and 'cool' so when you are in town for some great pieces, do check them out at the local Marie Claire outlet.

Recycling

RE - CYCl'in 07

Recylcing is 'in' nowadays with everyone and everything going green. So its very 'natural' for our feet to follow the steps as well. Designers are coming up with new and innovative lines of shoes made either entirely or partially from recycled materials and thus declared eco-friendly. Some of the great picks are features below.

Green Destiny by Kurt Geiger

Strange - Believe It or not

Strange Believe IT or NOT.....





Lo' and behold..... I never thought I would ever come across a shoe which matches a reptile as much as this one does. This is a one of a kind creation by a cut-out wedge by Jill Sander. Interestingly its not off putting.
