There’s something about these sandals that’s an absolute show stopper. The chunky, criss-cross brown suede upper, the back zipper, the Grecian-meets-Gladiator look (without overdoing it)–I don’t know, it’s a simple, but indescribable chic that makes it hard for me to peel my eyes off them. Plus, c’mon, it’s Azzedine Alaia! Definitely not for everybody, these sandals are not ‘cute’ or ‘pretty’–they’re confident and sophisticated.

Even more attractive is that you won’t have to pay an arm and a leg for them (this brand retails upwards of $500 to start with). These Alaia sandals are currently on sale at Yoox for $218, and today and tomorrow only, you can get them 15% off if you apply the code anniversary@yoox. That’s true for everything at Yoox, too, by the way. (And one more thing, Jitterbugbaby: They’re brown sandals!)
