Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are among my favorites because his designs are always stylish and flattering, never any of that ugly ‘artistic’ pieces. These sequined and beaded sandals are among the latest releases and feature both silver and gold tone hardware, so they can be worn with almost anything, and yes that includes a casual look like demin and simple t. In fact, sometimes that’s my favorite look for dressy sandals.

They have a leather insole and leather lining and have a 4 inch gold tone heel. $1,095 at zappos.com.

When I first laid eyes on these Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, I wasn’t sure I liked them. The concept is great, crystal covered, open toe, ankle boots, but the multi color….hmmm. However, seeing them on a model, I absolutely love them. They look fabulous with black leggings or a LBD.

They are black leather and embellished with colored crystals. They have a 4.5 inch silver heel. $1,250, Available at Endless.com, along with lots of new Giuseppe styles.

I have visited these Giuseppe Zanotti shoes before, but this is my absolute favorite color of this version sandal to date. The soft gold looks gorgeous with lustrous cream colored stones and white crystals, both reflecting a touch of pink. These will be extra fabulous next the sun kissed skin!

The Giuseppe Zanotti sandals have a 4.5 inch heel. These shoes can go with anything from a formal dress to a pair of jeans, and when I get them, they will be on my feet all the time. $1,075. Largest selection of Giuseppe Zanotti are at Endless. 

I love that these Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are so very simple over the foot with an elaborate embellished ankle strap. It emphasizes the beauty of a naked foot (you should only wear this shoe if you have nice feet). This is a great sandal for shorts or a little dress. They are gold leather with crystal and bead detail. They have a 4.5 inch heel. $1,280 at Endless.

For the record, I am not a flats kind of girl, but having little boys to chase make them a necessary evil. Thankfully, flats are getting cuter. These Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are fabulous flats (is that an oxymoron?). They are sand colored suede with clear crystal detail and they have a leather thong and silver tone hardware. Available at Stylebop., $1,110. They also come in black at Endless.

If you don't have a grand to drop on the originals, here's a similar shoe at Zappos $69.

I absolutely love embellished sandals, but I have had many where the stones fall out within a few wears, however that isn't a problem with Giuseppe Zanotti shoes. His designs are very well made and the embellishments are tightly fixed. I have an embellished Mary Jane that is on it's third year and as good as new. These sandals are very pretty and come in almost every color, but my favorites are the black pair and the gorgeous cream pair below. They have a back zip closure and a 4.25 inch heel. They are available at Zappos and Endless. The black sandals are reduced, $707. Cream sandals, $1,075.

As many of you know, my first shoe loves are the Loubies, but there are a few labels that share second place, and one is Giuseppe Zanotti shoes. He designs a variety of styles, but all are well made and stylish. This cut out ankle boot is fabulous.  It's on trend with biker chic, yet dressed up a bit with gold tone chain detail. It has a 4.25 inch heel and a very short .25 inch platform. Cut out ankle boots are all the rage for the upcoming spring and summer. These boots are available at zappos.com, $1,050.
