This is the shoe equivalent of a Picasso painting, combining a multitude of elements, influences, and materials that add up to an abstract yet wearable look. Muted sage grosgrain meets a caramel leather front strap, plus a shiny-coated cork front and leather back platform. You get major height (a respectable 4.5 inches) without the backbreaking incline. Snob Kelly especially love the fact that the grosgrain band reaches the sole of the shoe, dividing the sections and creating a platform – or shall  Shoesnob say flatform? – triad. You can’t exactly go dancing in these, but let’s be honest, all she really need to do on a night out is walk from the valet to her table.

A ladylike tangerine purse is an unexpected touch, but small enough not to overwhelm the sandal, and not going for matchy-matchy keeps the spirit modern, the Michael Kors’ Gia bag fits the bill.
