A few days ago, I saw a papparazzi pic of style icon for the internet generation Rihanna rocking these gorgeous sandals. I went mad for the next few days looking for these shoes.

Well guess what? I found ‘em!

The shoe is the Azzedine Alaia Python Sandals with bells. This gorgeous sandal is 100% python skin with a 4.5 inch heel. It’s definitely a splurge item for sure, retailing at roughly $2000, but they’re on sale for about $1327 (if my currency converter serves me right) at Brown’s from the UK.

Enjoy!

Some quick and easy summer foot care tips from Dr. Levine on The Today Show!

This is the third installment in our series titled “Summer Feet,” wherein we bring you information that’ll help you maintain beautiful, healthy feet throughout the warm weather months. Check weekly for updates, quick tips and more!

We’re midway through summer now, and its not so farfetched to expect that your feet will have suffered from wearing flip flops or kicking up sand on the beach or even jogging around the park with your kids. Here’s a list of ways you can help revive your feet at night so that they will continue to look stellar for the rest of the summer.

Lighten up discolored nails with a hydrogen peroxide soak. If your toenails have taken on a yellowish hue, a quick soak in hydrogen peroxide can help whiten your nails. Simply pour the peroxide into a bowl straight from the bottle and let your fit sit in the bowl for two to five minutes. Longer than five minutes is not necessary. Once the peroxide finishes bubbling, it is no longer potent.

Recondition Heels with moisturizers. Heel fissures–cracked heels– are very easy to care for. After bathing or soaking your feet, moisturize using creams with glycolic acids in them. Glycolic acids, as active ingredients in creams, burn off dead skin and draws moisturizers to the newly exfoliated skin, hydrating your foot and reducing the size and severity of the fissures.

Be rid of foot odors. Sweaty feet can lead to smelly feet, especially in the summer time.  A vinegar soak can do away with normal foot odors, as it kills fungus. Add 1 cup of vinegar to 2 cups of water and soak your feet.

After applying these remedies, your feet should be back to summer ready in no time!

This is the first installment in our “Shoe of the Month” series, wherein Dr. Levine spots with her podiatrist’s eye her new favorite pair of shoes and tells you exactly why she loves them. Check back often for updates, tips and more!

I recently went out and bought a pair of shoes and I’m very excited to share them with you all. They are called the Lana Platform by Michael Kors, and they are to die for! This shoe is what I call an “ode to summer” for the professional woman. Its classic leather remains faithful to office decorum while the gold straps and detailing and the flirty open toe give reason to be excited about the warm weather. It’s great for showing off a cute pedicure and camouflaging calluses or other foot ailments in the process.

The Lana Platform isn’t just a great looking shoe; it’s also very comfortable. The five-inch heel is mitigated by the two inch platform, so that it gives the illusion of great height without causing the stress on your feet that stiletto heels do. This nifty trick makes the shoe particularly accommodating of working women. You can wear these shoes for 4-6 hours at a time. They’re great to walk in, too. I wore them all over my practice and didn’t have to change all day! And—this part is my favorite—the shoe fits wide feet!

The Lana Platform retails for about $150 bucks, but I was fortunate enough to catch them on sale for less than half that. Be sure to check out your nearest Michael Kors retailer for these and other amazing shoes!
