I didn’t intend to go shoe shopping but you know how it is with unintentional shopping trips right? Sometimes, you just wander into a store and don’t know what you might find.
Better yet, you just never know what you might find… ON SALE! 😀
I noticed this pair of green pumps in a sale, but it wasn’t the colour or the interesting pebbled texture of the leather that caught my eye. It was the very interesting metal detail down the heel. All 4″ of it. You have to admit that it is most certainly eye catching 😉
I liked how the golden metal contrasts with the dark green leather shoe and how the rest of the shoe looks so sedate and, well, normal.
Its the first time I’m owning a pair of shoes with this sort of detail. Usually, the detail on my shoes go in the front and I have a terrible habit of scuffing the heels of my shoes. Then again, this isn’t exactly a workhorse shoe, is it? Not something to wear everyday. The 4″ heel will likely kill my back too, if I tried! But I can and will be wearing it to work occasionally because I think it looks sedate enough, and if I keep everything else simple, it’d make my outfit!
Now that I’ve acquired a pair of shoes with interesting detail, its spurred me to look at my footwear in a slightly different light. Why wear boring plain pumps, no matter how serviceable they may look, when I could just as easily wear a pair of interesting looking shoes? 😀
This pair is by Sergio Rossi and lest you think I was nuts to pay 4 jaw dropping figures for this, I assure you I wasn’t that crazy. I got it for just over 75% off, in a wallet friendly 3 figures, and that in my books, is a bargain 🙂
Do you own shoes with interesting detail on them?
Its not often that I find detail on heels so it intrigued me. Its also the most interesting pair of shoes I own and I look forward to many more on the spur of the moment bargain finds of interesting shoes in my size 🙂

Hi Paris, the shoes are GORGEOUS!!! May I know which sale was this and where did you get them?
Paris B says
Hiya! It was a one day friends and family sale of various designer brands that included Sergio Rossi. It was in JW marriot hotel and I only found out because I was in the area. Otherwise Sergio Rossi has their boutique in Starhill and should be going on year end sales soon 😉
Vivi says
Used to but not anymore. I was drawn to crazy and loud prints previously but now, I tend to go for neutrals and earthly-colored shoes. I don’t know what happened, haha.
Paris B says
Hmm… You grew up? 😉 but seriously I think our tastes just change Over time. I motice that in my sense of dress too.

ooh i love details on shoes. I used to destroy heels like there was no tomorrow… but these days, I’m a poor girl who spends all her pennies on makeup! I have a nice pair of nude heels, over the knee suede boots, ballet flats & sandals. (almost all cole haan) Oh and I love my burberry heart rainboots, but other than that, all my other shoes are sort of lonely! haha.
Paris B says
Ooh sounds like a lovely collection there! I haven’t found a nice pair of nude heels yet. Slowly looking 🙂
Becca says
Whoa those are some KILLER heels, Paris! I am insanely jealous right now, and I don’t even wear heels! But I so would if I owned those! I am quite partial to the green and the texture on it is fabulous. You’re right–the shade is PERFECT with the gold detailing. Ooooooooh WANT SO BAD!
Paris B says
Lol thanks Becca! Still waiting to break them out and hoping I don’t break a leg or something 😛
Lumi says
Those heels are gorgeous! I dont wear heels much, but I’d like to be better at wearing them. LOL
My shoe collection is small, mostly basics.
Paris B says
Basics are good, Lumi 🙂 Start with basics and then you can toss in that one “special occasion” pair of heels 😉
lemon says
Nice! Can you show more snapshot on how you will pair them? Thanks! 🙂
Paris B says
Thanks Lemon 🙂 Not sure when an outfit post will appear but if it does, I”ll be sure to try to feature these shoes 🙂
