Not as dangerous poolside as a sharp stiletto, but much more elegant than your casual sandals, a wedge heel is an excellent addition to any wardrobe.
You can wear it by day with your favourite sarong and swimsuit or out to lunch with a 50s inspired skirt and sharp blazer. By night you add a touch of glamour pairing them with a striking jumpsuit.
Our pick of the season is this stunning pair from Salvatore Ferragamo.[/vc_column_text][/item][item id=”1514067216-2-67″ tab_id=”1514067525591-3″ title=”Item”][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=”h6″ style=”color-strip-reveal” color=”Accent-Color” text=”Pink Paradise”][image_with_animation image_url=”3086″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][vc_column_text]I’m calling it.
