A Valentino for Every Occasion

Filed in archive Shoes on April 4, 2010

Can you say "perfect"? This Valentino Satin Rosette Espadrille has got to be the most perfect shoe of the season. So pretty, so stylish, and just beautifully designed.

If you didn't just about die when you saw it, I forgive you (we don't always have to agree). But something in the Valentino collection is bound to catch your fancy this year. I love the Napa Bow Wedge. It has a gorgeous wooden platform and it's easy to imagine it with shorts, skirts and dress jeans.

Or, if you're feeling more frilly and feminine, the Bow Espadrille might be more your style. It's just a wee bit girly for me, but I could see myself wearing it with the right outfit, and with the right mood.

And if the heel heights are frightening you away, fear not. Valentino has a few lower-heeled espadrilles for those of us who need cute shoes for work: the Side-Bow Espadrille and the Mena Metalic Espadrille both list a 4" wedge. This sounds high to me, but in the photo it looks wearable.

Literally, Valentino has designed a shoe for every outfit, and every occasion!
