Instead of wearing rubber flip-flops during summer, I opt for
Giuseppe Zanotti jeweled slippers. They are so fabulous and can really spice up any simple summer outfit. I got them on trips to Milan, Italy. For the golden slippers, I specifically took the 4.5-hour train ride from my home to go to Milan and get the slippers lol! Right beside my Zanottis are my
Manolo tiger print sequin flats. I think this is the closest I'll ever get in wearing animal-print shoes lol! Below are my super comfy
winter boots with rabbit fur. I got them from a local boutique here in Zurich and even though they are not designer shoes, they still cost me USD 750 ... yikes! The brown flat boots with beige piping are also perfect for walking around and I got them locally. I love
Gucci boots! The brown ones are from a trip to Paris while the black ones were during a weekend getaway to Monaco!
I seem to have a prefernce for round-toe
Loubotins so all my pairs kind of look the same lol! The patent red, patent coral orange and embroidered black ones are from a trip to Paris. The beige ones are from a trip to London while the peep-toe nude ones are from a local Louboutin dealer. My
Jimmy Choo suede navy blue pumps and black sandals are from a trip to London. I got the gold sandals shipped from
Saks Fifth Avenue. Since they don't really ship abroad, I had them delivered to my aunt in the US who then shipped them to me lol! The bottom row are my
Yves Saint Laurent shoes I got locally. My flower
Rene Caovilla sandals were from a trip to NYC and the other Rene Caovilla jeweled sandals are from
eBay.
My
Gucci shoes are on the top row. I got the black sandals, pink suede pumps and navy blue sequined flats locally. The brown logo sneakers were from a trip to Milan. Ah, I love
Tory Burch ballerinas! I got the patent pink, yellow and black all at the same time while in NYC. The orange and brown ones were shipped from Bergdorf Goodman. My
Ferragamos are probably my oldest shoes. The ivory sandals were hand-me-downs from my sister while the black ones were from my first trip to NYC 19 years ago ... and they're still in excellent condition! The beige ones I got locally and are a bit painful so I hardly wear them lol! My black feather
Rebecca Taylor pumps are so cute! I got them, together with the ivory with black detail trim sandals, while on my honeymoon in Japan! I got the black peep toes, metallic pink sandals and beige sandals while I was living in Brazil. My patent black
Sergio Rossi Mary Jane wedges are so comfortable and were like probably the only size 35 at one of the local boutiques lol! The other black pumps are from
Prada that I also got locally.
Here are most of my Spanish shoes on trips to Spain. The only exception are the
Nine West pink sandals I got in NYC recently and the black sandals I bought in Santiago de Chile! The
Louis Vuitton pink loafers are also perfect for summer with jeans!
Finally, some of my other shoes! The flower boots are really funny and I got them for like USD 30 in Argentina. Next are my black Mary Janes that are hand-me-downs from my sister and the other two casual shoes are
Prada. They are actually children's size lol! The white ones I got from Milan and the black one from Amsterdam. The two patent black shoes in the middle are
Stuart Weitzman that I both got from trips to NYC. The bottom row are all from my time while living in Brazil.
*** LaVan's shoe closet ... the story of my shoes! ***
I got the Hangisi shortly after they were relased from the Manolo boutique in NYC. For the Marie-Antoinette, I searched high and low since only one pair per model was made in each size ... I was so lucky that the Manolo boutique in Hong Kong still had one in my size! I was in shoe heaven!
Who am I kidding???
..must wake up now 
...I can't get over it...fabulous I only wish/dream that one day when i have a house to my name that I can have the luxury of a beautiful shoe closet like yours
