Michael Antonio @ WSA
ShoesErika, champion p.r. rep for Turner PR, usually reaches out to me before the WSA and invites me to see a brand she handles called Michael Antonio. And I'll be honest, I always hesistate to accept 'cause HighSnobette's focus is the fast and the edgey and when it comes to women's shoes, the expensive. Yes, we are little snobs (and proud of it!)
But let's face it, while I fantasize about myself flossing in a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti platforms, there's that little thing called the reality of my bank account. And most women are like me, we appreciate and covet designer, but we're not wearing it head-to-toe and we're definitely not wearing it everyday. And when it comes to shoe trends that are clearly going to come and go quickly, it's not just okay, but sensible to go with a brand, which, while not the real thing, comes close to approximating it. And Micahel Antonio, which Erika describes as "the H&M of footwear," is that kind of brand.
Here are some of the up-and-coming spring shoes I liked the most:
^^Gladiators in every glossy shade under the sun
^^More glads featuring funky faux snakeskin (or maybe croc...)
^^Strappy highhells with contrasting straps and gold buckles
^^Close-up on the pink ones; I'm gonna own a pair of sandals in this color this spring. I promise you that.
Click to the right if you want to see more Michael Antonio, which can be purchased on the brand's web site and in lots of different stores.
