Best of...Piperlime Spring 2007

First of all, I love any shoe site that offers a huge hi-lo mix of shoes, targeting both black AMEX-flashing silver spooners and discerning bargain shoppers. Zappos.com and shoes.com both pale in comparison to the relatively new piperlime.com, with its sleek, user-friendly design and great selection of kicks for just about any shopper.

Here are my best-of picks from their Spring 2007 Hot Trends selection:



1. Mia Sophie wedges, $75; 2. Bandolino Yella low heels, $65; 3. Tribeca by Kenneth Cole Grand Central platform heels, $60; 4. daniblack Gates embellished thongs, $100; 5. Report Signature Xanadu flats, $175; 6. Hollywould Belaire laser-cut heels, $400; 7. Bettye Muller Nest yellow patent t-strap flats, $310; 8. Chinese Laundry Buscana emerald green slingbacks, $60; 9.
