I own a pair of Stella flats and they rotate among the five pairs of shoes I wear all the time. Now that I'm no longer waddling around pregnant I can indulge my heel habit. I have my eye on these simple silk stilettos. Pointy and classic but with an edge right under the sole.

Our lust for Louboutins is not breaking news but these delicate petal sandals from Christian's resort collection is like a warm breeze in the dead of winter. Forget about the snow between your toes and imagine kicking up these heels on Valentino's yacht in St. Barths. C'est magnifique!

Gladiator sandals in the winter? Well, if you're lucky enough to be somewhere the sun is shining (hello California!) throw your budget to the lions and click over to Bluefly and check out the sale on these metallic gladiator sandals. Yours for the slashed price of $113.

Not all great shoes cost an arm and a leg (although oddly most of our to-die-for's fall into this category). We found this dazzling ruched skimmer by Fairytales Do Come True at Urban Apparel and for a modest $38 this story has a happy ending.

It's no secret that Repetto excels in the ballet flat making category. Their basic black version is a timeless staple, but these patent blue Janet Loafers have a little more kick. Something tells us that although they're memorable and on trend, you'll be rockin' these puppies through a few seasons.
