Tropically Striped Heels

The Giuseppe Zanotti Floral Pumps are Reminiscent of Island Escapades

— December 3, 2012 — Fashion
The Giuseppe Zanotti Floral Pumps combine two patterns harmoniously to create a very sassy shoe.

Though Spring is dead and gone and summer is a long way off, these heels are still fierce. The flowers remind you of warmer days when you could hit the street in a pair of rocking knit shorts. The satin heels contain black and white stripes with tropical island flowers and crystals that dance upon the heel of the shoes. The pointed toe hides a one inch platform. Altogether the height of these sparkling shoes is five inches.

The Giuseppe Zanotti Floral Pumps are a jumble of unlikely patterns and textures that seem to come together in best of ways, but would you really expect any less from the Italian designer?
