My Thoughts

The most iconic shoes by  shoe-fashion designer Casadei, "Blade" now featured with a twist in the form of the "Valentina". The "Valentina" features a coloured Blade heel (in orange) and a colour piping trim around the upper of the shoes (in orange). I personally think this is a great way to use bold colours in a subtle way. Pure orange leather / patent leather shoes can be too overpowering on an outfit, and when teamed with an orange dress or bag it can look disastrous. With the "Valentina" the subtle orange against the tan nappa can accentuate a pure orange dress or horizontally striped dress into a really great look and style. Bold colours are very hard to get right, and these shoes help to achieve those desired looks. The heel measures 120mm (5 inches) and is made from solid steel. The heel itself is square with the curved design that leads into the piping on the back heel upper. The shoes are very elegant and are a must have for fans of orange. These retailed for £550 (GBP) in casadei stores and are now sold out.
