Am I totally jaded or am I right in thinking that the price for these Givenchy sandals was marked wrong? $390? It seems like a bargain basement sale price, but no! This is actually the full price. Made of all leather, with a wedge and double ankle straps with an easy Velcro closure (I suppose no hardware might keep the price down), this is my kind of shoe. They’re carefree, versatile, practical, and sexy. The wide straps are classic, yet evoke a smidge of bondage appeal. A big “thank you!” to the generous front platform; combined with the comfy 3″ incline, it makes this almost-sky-scraping 4½” totally walkable. Okay, they don’t quite turn me into a WNBA contender, but that kind of height certainly makes me look like I have legs for miles. And I’m not going to complain about that. And the price? I’m still perplexed, but they’re already in my shopping bag! At Barneys New York for $390.
Pair with: A crocodile and leather hobo is as discreetly chic as can be and with a big, slouchy size, it’s equally practical. In the accessory department, your summer black basics have just been covered! Gucci “Greenwich” Leather and Python Shoulder Bag, $2,200.
