Valentino Crystal-Embellished Suede and Satin Sandals: Dancing Queen

Some moods demand you reject the heft and wait of a chunky heel and strap on something sparkly and dainty (hey, with Kate Middleton supposedly sparking a pantyhose trend, there might be more of those days than we expect!). Like Valentino‘s suede and satin sandals, a style based on darling dance shoes.

A rounded strappy toe, slim heel (while it’s not quite modest at 4 inches, it’s nothing crazy by any means), and even slimmer ankle straps are all elements taken right out of the Capezio school of design. Formal and elegant, they will have your toes twinkling across the floor. Thanks to yummy crystal embellishments, in sophisticated pewter, these sandals are sexy – but a very girly kind of sexy. The kind of sexy that hints you should set your hair in hot rollers before you go out on the town. For true old-school glamour, experiment by turning these shoes into a day look – a snob-worthy challenge that would be fun to try. On Net-a-Porter for $1,095.

Pair with: Give a wink to your glamorous side, day or night, with Roberto Cavalli’s wraparound fox ring, inspired by retro stoles. Swarovski crystals will pick up the shoes’ sparkle without adding up to too much. On Net-a-Porter for $505.
