Luxurate

I have had my eye on the Manolo Blahnik Risa for quite some time. As I browse the Blahnik selection, this shoe always calls to me. I love the bright yellow leather, the instant pop of color, and the classic half d'Orsay peep-toe with 110mm covered heel. I define luxury as impeccable attention to detail, and the angular piecing on the vamp is what makes this shoe special. A detail that could seemingly be overlooked, it brilliantly adds dimension to a shoe that requires a more bland backdrop to it's vibrant hue.

At it's retail price of $745, I wasn't entirely tempted, but the Manolo Blahnik Risa on sale at CUSP for $499 is certainly a more enticing price-point. I was surprised to see the markdown at CUSP, a Neiman Marcus owned company. They aren't on sale at Neimans yet, but I'm assuming we will be seeing their price drop there very soon too. CUSP also has several other discounted Manolo Blahnik shoes, however many of them are the same styles being sold with a higher 50% off discount at the Manolo Blahnik boutique semi-annual sale.

Christian Louboutin adds a splash of color with a fabulous yellow suede pump. This beautiful pin-up style, named Declic, is based on the classic Louboutin Clichy. A signature round toe with low-cut vamp and towering stiletto heel, Declic adds a hidden platform which really helps when maneuvering at such heights! Pictured below with a 100mm heel, also available in 120mm.

Spring and summer are here and these pastel yellow and blue kitten heel mules from Manolo Blahnik are simply gorgeous. Pale stripes adorn the canvas upper with a beautiful embroidered flower across the vamp. The icing on the cake is so delicious, it even looks like the icing you would fine on a fine, luxurious cake! The beautiful sky blue leather ruffle edging across the vamp is a subtle, feminine detail that is apparent across all Manolo Blahnik shoes.
