Jimmy Choo ‘Vivienne’ Mixed Media Platform: Fierce or Fail?

I found this pair of Jimmy Choo sandals online that caught my eye. Like all you other shoeholics, I embrace high heels with open arms, especially if they are from a masterful brand that has perfected the craft of making women’s shoes.

The Jimmy Choo ‘Vivienne’ Mixed Media Platform Sandal is certainly a bold one, as it is sporting multiple trends all at once. It can be scary and overwhelming at first but you must have great understanding of shoes so you can appreciate its true beauty.

As you can see, this fearless shoe snobs understated styling with its over-the-top tribal-glam design. It has a lot going on: colorblocking, studs, braided patent leather, snakeskin, suede platform and some raffia too.

Despite the overstated styling, the shoe is still perfectly balanced and it just works! It plays with many different textures but has managed to look as good as it does. It has a 6-inch heel but the 2-inch platform make it surprisingly easy to walk in.

This fierce shoe is available in Bluefly and it is currently on sale for $1,220.40 from the original price of $1,695. What are your thoughts? Do you have the same sentiments as we do or is it just too much for you?

Supermodel Bar Rafaeli was spotted in the City of Light in Paris last Thursday. She met up with Dior executive Sidney Toledano for the launch and celebration of the luxury brand’s new capsule collection with German artist Anselm Reyle. The collection includes bags, shoes, jewelry and beauty products.

Bar looked gorgeous, working a sheer black dress and what seems to be a new tan. Her shoe choice for the special night was also a scene-stealer. She was wearing the Dior ‘Etoile’ caged sandals in hot, python leather. This pair is from the brand’s Cruise 2012 Collection.

A closer look at the shoe:

The Python rendition of the shoe is not yet available online but the equally hot Metallic Gold version is available for pre-order in Nordstrom for $990.
