Still in limbo between winter and spring? I give you something to cheer up: this gorgeous AND sensible pump from the 2006/2007 Christian Lacroix Fall collection, a delicious confection in white, red, and black. The pale, satiny shade of winter is enlivened by a contrast fiery-hot (and also comfortable!) heel and the silver jewel detailing on the black vamp. Style and sophistication–for a price (ahem) undisclosed. Still, beautiful to look at…

And here’s a variation in the same colors, but in a flat and without the jewels, available for $500 at Neiman Marcus:

I agree that they would be kind of hard to coordinate without risking to look too ‘busy’, ‘ornate’ or ‘festive’, but hey, if someone gave these to me as a gift, I wouldn’t mind trying!
