Salute The Tri-Color

Giuseppe Zanotti Tri-color pumps

I never thought that playing Peek-a-Boo with your feet could be such a tease.Its quite alluring to show off those toe nails that had been patiently cut and filed to the right size before coating them with a fresh coat of Chanel polish.Just as I was knee deep wading through these pleasant thoughts, I was awakened quite rudely from my pleasant reverie by the irritating sound of my door bell.I sleepily floated my way to the drawing room, only to be greeted by my cheerful young nephew, who was all too excited to share his happenings at school.The matter was the boy had made a scrapbook on the "Flags of Nations" and as I sat flipping through its pages, he so inquisitively popped the question "Tell me, why do so many countries use tri-colors on their flags?".As I sat there scratching my head, thinking of a suitable response, I saw these pair of shoes peeking out from my closet.I was elated, for this was my moment of salvation, tri-colors are classy and effortlessly exuberate patriotism, be it towards country or shoes.Hail the tri-color and long live Giuseppe Zanotti, the maker of these stunners!!!

Gladiator Of Comfort

Leather T-Strap Sandal, Giuseppe Zanotti

Giuseppe Zanotti has run for colors while designing these flats ideal for a summery stroll in the park after spending long hours at the museum on a Sunday.Of late, a lot of designers are spurning out cute flats transitioning them from their grandmotherly image(read to worn by people physically incapable of wearing high heels) to a more youthful and vibrant one.The fact that quite a few celebrities have taken to flats as a means of offsetting their height difference with their not so vertically endowed partners, only helps flats in becoming all the more trendy and hip.The lack of a lean silhouette offered by high heels is more than compensated by the colossal comfort and freedom of movement offered by flats.Now, with designs like these, one can have the comfort afforded by flats without compromising on style since one can never escape the requirement of flats on days when one's feet scream for mercy.

For all those who want to confirm to this season's gladiator style but are a tad shy to wear them all laced up and high, covering most of your calf, this flat is a welcome respite, for its a "conservative" gladiator in the sense that it just covers the foot.Add to this, the play of colors and voila you have for yourself the perfect spring/summer flats.The colors too are very muted and subdued going well with a mellowed-down-yet-so-chic look.

This sandal will come a full circle when paired with a white or black dress with a little bit of embroidery thrown in to break the monotony and usher in seductive feminine freshness.
