I knew Italy was known for good shoes…

But, wow.
Obviously, I adore Mr. Louboutin, but I have such an appreciation for art (and shoes, natch) that I have a newly acquired (shoe) obsession: Alberto Guardiani. There, I’ve said it. His shoes are beautiful. Seriously, amazing.

The lipstick heel combines two of womans greatest loves: shoes and lipstick. It has a nostalgic feel to it, for me anyway. When I was younger I would watch my mother put her make up on and slip into her high heels: a glimpse of what being a grown-up woman was all about. I couldn't wait until I could be just like her. These shoes embody that feeling of wonder and excitement. And, get this, it has interchangeable heels. Feeling a bit sultry? Go for the red. Or perhaps you’re in the mood for something a bit more neutral? There’s a nude option. How cool is that? It’s two pairs of shoes in one.

My jaw nearly gaped open when I saw this next one. An over the knee, high-heeled, two-toned riding boot. I die. I want these real bad. I think I may start taking donations. Haha, kidding… sort of.

Oh, and did I mention they also come in the form of a bootie.

Ah, how can all of these shoes be so sexy, yet so classic all at once?

Dear Alberto Guardiani, thank you very much for creating these beauties (or shall I say booties?) If you have a spare size 10 laying around, I suppose I could take them off your hands.
Sincerely, girlwiththeredsole but in need of an alberto guardiani
