Style Cynics

I love my black pumps – they go with everything I own and they’re functional and chic, all at the same time. Sometimes, however, I wish I could change them up just a bit, because although they’re basic black, they can also be boring black. Well, my wish was answered by Isabella Fiore – she’s made a black pump with pumped-up style! The ornamental satin “Holman Bis” is covered in rich black satin and has a heel of approximately two and a half inches. The best part about it, though, is the frayed black-and-white cotton trimming held in place with ten shining metal buttons. What a way to dress up your old black standbys! As the website says, it creates a great “evening story”, and would look great with any evening dress, black pencil skirt, or even, if you dare, a black business suit. Some girls would wear these with skinny jeans, but I feel that may be a bit understated for the elegance that these pumps exude.

The more I see of Isabella Fiore’s work, the more I find that I absolutely love her style. She combines beautiful designs with embroidery, fabric and ornamentation, and whenever I see her designs, I feel like I’d be absolutely unique whenever I wear them. Case in point: her embroidered Mary Jane pumps. I already love the Mary Jane style; I love it even more when I see how Fiore’s combined it with silvery embroidery and an ornate golden buckle enclosure.

Give your feet the attention they deserve in these proud-as-a-peacock black leather beauties from Isabella Fiore.

The Peacock Loreen wedge from Isabella Fiore will give your tootsies a whole lotta attitude! Sheathed in polished patent leather, which is so unbelievably hot right now by the way, these wedge-style sandals boast multi-colored embroidery, along the arches of your feet and on the wedge, that strut just the perfect amount of vibrant red, blue, yellow and white feather pattern - for you foot fetishists out there. They also feature a back angle strap with an antique brass buckle. The strap is just thin enough to flatter, lengthen and slim the ankle. However the crowing glory of these wedges are the cute peep toes - perfect for showing off that oh-so-perfect pedicure – and the flattering black patent bow - that simply screams to be front and center on the dance floor.
