Spring and Summer Stilettos

Architecture has always been a source of inspiration for clothing designers, and this was more evident than ever on the Spring 08 runways. Why not hit the ground running with this trend by starting from the ground up- focusing on footwear first. There is a whole genre of architecturally-inspired shoes hitting the stores, and you can get the look at any price.  Let Jen Olsen of Piperlime.com help you take the inspiration from the runway to the street with her picks to appease the Architect in you.

The 3¼ cone-shaped Lucite heel on this shoe will appease the modern artist in every woman.

Vince Camuto: Hester – $130.00

It may look like your basic heel but given a second look this 4” heel has a little peek-a-boo in its wedge offering a subtle look that’s great from day to night.
