Perfectly Patent
Patent leather is one of the sleekest textures, and whether it’s in the form of constructed bag or a skinny belt, the shiny material certainly makes a statement. This applies to shoes as well, and after some research, I soon came to realize that the styles available are endless. Here are some of my varied favorites:
1. Platform Zipper Bootie: GoJane, $21.99. As a pretty blatant replica of Christian Louboutin’s Laponos, I think these are a fabulous alternative. The small zipper adds a dash of street appeal to these classic loafers.
2. Mary Kate Topstiched Platform Sandal: bebe, $139 $83.99. I cringed slightly when I realized these were from bebe, but how could I not love gray patent with contrast stitching? Paired with some opaque tights, these would be such a great party shoe.
3. Clinton Bootie: Report Signature, $224.95. The pyramid studded strap with ultra shiny patent leather is a winning combination.
4. Vulture: Steve Madden, $109.95. These lace up booties would look so cute with preppy, over-the-knee socks like these.
5. Master Ivory Patent: Jeffrey Campbell, $98 $73.50. In the past, I would have saved these platforms for Summer, but I’m drawn to their wintery-white color and little holes where brightly colored tights could peek through.
6. Wing Tip Patent Booties: Charlotte Russe, $26.99. These are great for a menswear-inspired look, but in a festive, deep blue.

i’m very drawn to the grey Bebe ones, even though i can’t stand the idea of that store… but it’s a great find!
wow these blue boots are great!
and really cheap
Cool shoes girl!!! thanks for the comment by the way!!
xoxoxox
i love all these line-ups of comparables that you do, the only downside of it: my favourite is -almost- always the most expensive. though all of these are luckily without the english comma for digits, number 3 definitely has to be my top pick,
noah
Fabulous picks – and I’ve gotta admit, those Bebe pickstitch guys are my faves!
oooh you’ve listed some fab finds here!!
Those are all pretty. I think I love shiny in the lightest colors best, for some reason.
ah shoes.
weakness.
i say # 3 & #6. With an all black outfit the electric blue will POP!
ah. i love your collections.
have a wonderful wednesday!
x.
such great prices on these shoes! i have a patent pair from nine west that i wear a lot and highly recommend, i posted some pics with them today!
i am seeing lots of patent lately. i like no. 3….
Number 4 has my name written ALL over it
I’m so glad patent leather is popping up everywhere right now! I think it’s so fun and sophisticated at the same time. So, are you indulging yourself in any of these styles?
I have a pair of patent shoes by Prada that I’ve been wearing for 13 years! I love how sturdy patent is.
Wow at number three!
can i have them all?
Wow…I want number 3…just…wow!
I’m loving the blue ones. Also really love the blue headband a few posts down. I want everything in navy right now.
3, 4 and 6 are AH-mazing!!!
I love number 3. Black, patent, high, ankle boots. Can it get any better?
i love those deep blue ones! great picks-this kind of shoe is such a great look for fall-can’t wait to buy a pair!
Hey girl! you have a meme or tag I guess lol, on my blog, go check it out
great selection! love them all
there’s something so great about patent… I love shiney things (:
OMG these are so affordable!! I’m totally getting the blue ones. How can you go wrong? Same price as round-trip cab fare in NYC…which I’ll have to splurge on once I get these shoes, obvs, so that I don’t ruin the heels. I mean, it’s a no-brainer!
i LOVE your blog…would you like to exchange links? I ‘m trying to add a few more fashion blogs so I can go to as well as my readers.! Let me know

#3 are calling to me…
I love 2 and 3.
you know, bebe often surprises me with their shoes. The only time I am drawn into their store is when I see a pair shoes in the window that I’m intrigued by. Their clothing, not so much.
They are very cool and chunky. I just got myself a pair of light coloured patent sandals. I wonder if I could wear black with them.. might do another post on that one actually.
Tried to by those #1 shoes by the way…they were out of my size (they always are). Just so you know they always add shoes on friday nights.
Little tip
*swoon*
want them all <3<3
xoxo
