Brian Atwood proves that when it comes to the high heel, he can do it all and with his effortlessly priced line, B Brian Atwood announces he will leave no heel unturned. Meet the Florrina sandal. Platforms have their unflagging appeal (especially Atwood’s sky-rocketing seduction-helpers), but let’s not forget: there is a lot to be said for a sexy, strappy shoe when you’re wearing a flirty, little dress.
I’m loving this delicate silhouette – it feels like ages since I’ve laid eyes on something so unabashedly and universally feminine! Not even the suggestion of platform chunk to be found. Just a lean 5” heel, an even wispier single buckle (you bet there’s no crazy hardware here), and perfectly arranged Art Nouveau-inspired suede straps. Even the colors are fresh and girly – this strap-happy sandal comes in pink, purple, blue, orange, and old standby black. If there was ever a time to go for the color, it’s now – I’m going for the pink, natch. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $325 (available in pink, orange, and black).
Pair with: An ivory dress, with tulip-like tiers of crepe, is light and lovely. Temperley London will make you enjoy being a girl – wear this neutral frock with your pick of shoe hue. On Net-a-Porter for $1,140.
Do these run true to size? I want to order online but haven’t found comments on sizing for this new line. Thanks!
