Nina Ricci Floral Pumps

Filed under: Shoes

Nina Ricci's Mary Jane Pumps ($780) have a flirty but refined feel. Its 4 1/2" inch heel and platform sole exude instant sex appeal while a decorative flower along the vamp has the odd combination of being girlish yet elegant.

Featured in grey (which looks more like navy blue) and wine suede, the monochromatic design is the perfect backdrop to enhance the power of simple decorative touches like a fabric floral accent and subtleties like the burnt orange outline and black outline above the platform. Ricci's flowery Mary Jane's would be a perfect complement to your holiday party dress.

Charmon� Shoes

Filed under: Shoes

Charmoné shoes promise to be environmentally friendly, people friendly and animal friendly. Stylish and socially conscious? Sounds good to us. The sophisticated shoes are made in Italy made with no animal products, and without relying on sweatshop labor. Most of the shoes are made with a PVC-free microfiber, which looks and feels much like suede. The shoes are also very breathable, unlike most other synthetic fabrics, so they're very comfortable. On top of their high production values, 5% of profits are donated to the Women for Women International charity.

The pictured shoes are the Charmoné Foxglove, which have an updated Mary-Jane look and a hand-painted "wafer" wedge heel, made with microfiber suede and a metallic (faux) leather trim. Price: $295.

[Thanks, Andrew]
