# Tropically Striped Heels The Giuseppe Zanotti Floral Pumps are Reminiscent of Island Escapades By Nikki Taylor | Published 2012-12-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giuseppe-zanotti-floral-pumps References: [talkshoes](http://www.talkshoes.com/8615/giuseppe-zanotti-stripe-floral-pumps/) & [giuseppezanottidesign](http://www.giuseppezanottidesign.com/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuart-weitzman-x-swarovski) of the shoes. The pointed toe hides a [one inch platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals). 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?
