The Ultimate Shoe Guide 2008

You know that shoe you become crazed about once a season? This is the pair everyone took one look at and just had to have. With its great mix of materials and global vibe, this little flat reminds us of Moroccan jewelry, with its colored stones on crinkled metallic leather. It will go with all jeans you’ve had hemmed for flats, or with knee-length skirts and shifts.

Zipper
