The stingray effect has gone full-force. Not only am I spotting the touchy, bumpy skin everywhere, from clutches to cigar cases, now we have one of our shoe connoisseurs presenting us with leather-like stingray-simulated T-straps. They are as shapely as any 5.5 incher that Giuseppe could woo us with, and they maintain his typical balance of lady of the night and just plain lady. These are ideal for tearing up the dance – or karaoke – floor, jutting yourself up with a few solid inches of height without risking the lack of stability, and playing up your inner cabaret vixen – very Berlin Stories (check out Christopher Isherwood’s book if you haven’t yet for loads of style inspiration!) – without going all-the-way vintage shopper. On Net-a-Porter for $595.
Pair with: Amp up already curvaceous heels and show off your shoulders with Fendi’s heart-neckline dress. Rouched and draped in all the right places, it cements the fact that you’re as really sexy as it gets! At Barneys New York for $2,480.
