{ Manolo Blahnik “Chaos”, $695, Nordstroms.com }

As I mentioned last week, I’ve been lusting over the Manolo Blahnik “Chaos” heels. Steve Madden makes a pair really similar, which I bought in nude, but when my co-worker wore the silver ones to the office to break them in before her wedding, I fell in love. I magically found them at Barney’s, which actually is miraculous since I’m a size 41, and pulled the trigger. Even though they are a kinda bold statement, I’ve been wearing them with just about everything, white jeans, pastels, even tweeds, which I think is the sign of a great investment.
