When I saw these shoes they reminded me of Carrie's (Sarah Jessica Parker) platform shoes in the Sex and the City episode where she runs to the NY Stock Exchange to ring the bell. Any shoe addict (like me) probably knows which pair I am talking about.

Those were some really expensive printed designer Miu Miu platforms and this is a poor man's (women's, actually) version. OK maybe not even that as this style is completely different but it somehow captures the spirit of more expensive designer shoes. I think Not Rated shoes brand tries to do just that as they have many cute designs.

These shoes have a printed canvas upper and the cute button on the side gives it that extra zing (or would the SATC fans say za-za-zoo). I love cute shoes and I like them to be comfortable too and this shoe fits the bill. I got the lime green ones and they go well with many outfits. They are true to size and the width is also normal, not too narrow like some other designer shoes.
