I love these sandals by Report Signature. They use the flat, rod shaped sequins, which look a bit neater than the round sequins. Also, the soft cream/gold color is flattering to any skin type. These shoes are beaded satin and have a 4.25 inch heel and a .5 inch platform. They would look fabulous with a LBD. Also available in black. They are $250 at zappos.com.

If you haven't been to the on-line shoe store, Heels.com, you should check it out. They have lots of shoes, brands ranging from L.A.M.B and Badgley Mischa to Chinese Laundry and Naughty Monkey. These shoes are the Report Signature Lucie 2 Sandal and I think they are adorable and perfect for spring and summer. The multi-colored raffia in braided detail is relaxed summer time style, and the cut out sides and peep toe give this shoe a flirty look. It has a 3/4 inch platform and a 5 inch stacked heel, so it will feel like a 4.25 inch heel. Available at Heels.com! , $190.

This is a great evening shoe. I like it in both colors, but the silver shoe is especially eye-catching. They are the Report Carleton Glitter Open Toe Pump. It has a 4.75 inch heel and a 1.25 inch platform, so it will feel like you are walking in a 3.5 inch heel. Available at Endless.com $147.90.
