Cute Ciuti

Last year, while working wardrobe for Judge Milian's People's Court photo shoot, I noticed one of the (several) executives running around in a beautiful pair of sandals. So beautiful, in fact, that almost every woman in the room asked about them.

Vite in Metallic Pewter ($322)

The sandals were by designer Claudia Ciuti and they were delicate, feminine and strong all at the same time.  I instantly wanted to know more about the designer and discovered that all her shoes have those traits and more.  They all manage to maintain a sexy feminine edge, whether they're strappy sandals, chunky wooden heels or colorful flats.  And, for those of us that ever saw a pair of flats and thought they would be better as heels, or vice versa, Ciuti actually has options - like her Sedge heels and Sage sandals.

For now, Ciuti only has store locations in New York and Italy, but we west coasters can peruse her online store.
