Splurge
DSQUARED2 Silver Tiffany Glitter Heels, $630
It wouldn’t be a real holiday shoe list without adding a pair of shoes with a little sparkle and shine. These glitter heels are so dazzling and pretty that they make me want to click my heels twice and say there is no item like a good pair of shoes by two talented Canadian designers.
Save
Multicolor Glitter Court shoes, $39.95
I love these shoes mainly because they are just as gorgeous as the DSQUARED2 glitter heels, but the multicolored glitter coating reminds me of the glitter glue I used to use for arts and crafts in elementary school. These pair of heels is also right on trend with the sequin and glitter craze happening in the fashion industry.
The first one is so gorgeous, and the floral embroidery made it look so special!
