A strappy, wearable shoe that looks more expensive without breaking the bank and has the look of upscale designers, thanks to the croc-embossed finish. One that you will pull out for many future occasions! It a 3.4 in heel (90 mm) has the look of high end shoes like the Jimmy Choo Azia but with more of a metallic finish.
This is probably the most wearable shoe on the list. Some of the most interesting ways to wear it include an all white look, (adding a hat makes it ever more put together) or with any jewel toned dress or gown.
4. Loeffler Randall Penny Gold Mule, $316

Mules have never been one of my favorite styles- they can be hard to wear, they always fall off of your feet, and many are just flat out unflattering. But this one is different. It has been around for a few seasons but it deserves a special honor because it is incredibly special and is a must have in every woman’s wardrobe. Known as the Penny, it has become an icon, with celebrities such as Margot Robbie as fans and many less expensive lookalikes on the market. It also comes in a metallic white called Almond, a dusty pink called Beauty, a rusty burnt red called Terracotta, Platinum, Dark Silver, and Black. It has a 3.5 inch heel hight. It also comes in a lower heel height version called the Emilia with only 2 inches of heel height. The Penny really takes the cake with the higher heel height, it’s lower heel Emilia cousin seems almost pointless.
Loeffler Randal’s website is having the Something Special Sale going on right now, with 20% off all shoes, and the Penny has an additional 20% on top of that, taking it down to the unbelievable price of $252.80- it never gets better than this. I have seen it at 25% off at Bloomingdales and Nordstrom in the past, taking down to $295.
In terms of dresses, this one has dramatic balloon like sleeves, leaving the gold heels as a dramatic finish.
5. Fendi Gold Nappa Leather High Heeled boots, $1950
Fendi has some of the most interesting and unexpected shoes on the market, one of which being this shoe. This special heel, a continual theme throughout their latest collection, with kitten heels, and other boots it various colors and finishes (including a gorgeous tall black boot and these equally amazing black velvet bootie. With a striking gold finish and invisible heel, these shoes are truly unexpected and stunning.
For a daytime look, add these wide leg Derek Lam cropped sailor pants in black or these black coated flared Joes Jeans and a band tee.
Another way to style these is to pair with these or these Spanx leggings for another cool girl look.
6. Jimmy Choo Aveline 100 Bow-Detailed Satin Sandals, $995

Jimmy Choo never fails to deliver with a standout shoe like this one for their holiday collection. With strategic bow placement and a vivid fuscia silk satin fabric, this shoe is extremely feminine, eye catching, and incredibly festive. Add this festive little black dress with embellished straps to set the stage for the shoes, or this other black a-line black dress with dotted pearls for a statement.
7. Christian Louboutin Sandale Du Desert 100 Satin Sandals, $995

Christian Louboutin never fails when delivering creativity and innovation with every collection, each having a unique backstory to the the creative process of its development. Named the Greekabas collection, the collection is is inspired by Louboutin’s travels throughout the grecian seas and to Athens.
This sandal was a standout from the collection. With gorgeous silk satin fabric and big ankle bows it call to attention to the smallest parts of the leg with dramatic bows in a punchy, saturated yellow.
For your next black tie holiday soire, pair it with this festive black LaMarque ostrich feather dress. Dress it down post holiday by pairing it with this polka dot Zimmerman Dress for next spring/summer and many more years to come.

Favorites of celebrities Dua Lipa, Joan Smalls, and Sophia Vergara, and the Kardashians the line was started in 2012 by Tblisi, Georgian sisters Nina and Gvantsa Macharashvili, with their line having a continual theme of jewel encrusted, breathtaking, Cinderella-vibes shoes. They even have a shoe that is red and jewel encrusted, like a modern Ruby slipper.
An interesting way to pair their bestselling double bow heel in pink would be with these tops and bottoms for an out and about pajama-inspired look.
