Carven Striped Canvas Pumps: Oh, Come On…Live A Little.

Let me start by saying, I cannot get enough of these pumps. The black and off-white print on canvas sitting on a 5 inch heel is summers answer to leopard print (yawn) and it is fan-friggen-tastic.

At first glance these look a little crazy but paired with a LBD or a white mini, these would be the perfect hint of print to spice up your outfit. The heel may be my favorite part. The subtle snake effect adds and extra pop to an already popping pump and really hits it out of the park.

Spring/Summer is not a time to play it safe and practical, but a time to come out of your fashion shell and into some fun/crazy/your mother would kill you shoes. Pumps like this should be able to tell a story at the end of the day/night. They should take you places like a VIP party that you snuck into and met Lance Bass, or should carry you to that wedding you thought you’d have a terrible time at but you ended up leading the conga line and making out with a groomsman (or the brides uncle, you can’t be too sure). Shed the winter boring blues and slip into something not because it’s sensible, and you could wear them to many other places, including work possibly so to justify the purchase….. But simply because you feel like L.I.V.I.N. a little. Remember those days? Where you bought things just because you wanted to? I thought so. Pick them up at $595 at Net-a-Porter.

  1. First of all you can never go past leopard print! It is my favorite colour.

    These shoes are super fun and I could too wear them to work as an accountant. The white and off white combo bugs me a little but I’m just OCD. I love how they are so busy but work so well. Such a fun shoe and the think heel would totally make them comfortable for day and nght.
