These heels weren’t made for walking, but sauntering tippy-toe to your fashionably late appointment du jour instead. 
The Giuseppe Zanotti Peek-a-Boo Pump is a refined and polished pair; an open-toe gives you just enough space to show off the pedicure, and the padded leather insole stands by for support. While gold and silver were not meant to be, this Italian import is made with a dark grey chrome finish to complement a polished gold buckle.   

Metallic leather with a signature 4” stiletto heel. 
Gives me a good excuse to keep my head in the clouds. . .

Feeling very Zen and peaceful sans jewels may be a path to happiness, but I’m sticking with Buddha on this one. The Sydney Evan Diamond Buddha Necklace is sure to bring you more than a Buddha’s smile, lighting up a bare neckline with its sparkly gold and jewel-bedecked finish. This Pave diamond Buddha charm and bail weighs in at a hefty 0.64 carats. 

While a money mantra may be in order for the $1,490 price tag, a daily meditation just could be worth it. . .

Believe it or not, this one’s 100% wool; large enough to wear poncho-style on the cooler nights of summer, or wrapped up pretty as a picture as a classic scarf. 

I’m melting just thinking about it.
