Double Take Heels, Anthropologie, $170

Conte Heels, Anthropologie, $185

I’m sure that years of intimate knowledge of the arts of origami, bondage, and ikebana stand behind these spectacular architectural creations, an intricate design feat that manages to flatter the foot, intimidate onlookers, and look strangely com-hither at the same time. The Anthropologie website doesn’t give me the name of the designer (gah! I hate it when they do that!), but I’m pretty sure it’s something Japanese. Oh, and these are 50% off, not a bad deal at all, considering.
