So, I found another shoe to love, and it’s not even a week into the new year. Actually, several shoes; all what you would consider to be basically just small variations on a theme. But, these make such a lovely set of variations. Any one of these decadent beauties would make a dream shoe for any holiday from New Years Eve to an upscale wedding anniversary.

These metal-embellished heels are tugging at my heartstrings, but not my purse-strings (not yet, anyway). The Ballys Pappillon and Pattys pumps (ranging from $1395 – $1775 at endless.com) are not just pretty -  they cost an unfortunately pretty penny.

Curse this living on a budget!

Well, a girl can always dream.
