I’ll be the first to admit that I’m no fan of of kitten heel shoes. It’s either high or flat for me, high for the flattering look and flat for comfort. In general, I see no point in the kitten heel other than for ballroom dancing or for little old ladies. These YSL satin pumps are my first exception to the rule. It’s the opulent Swarovski crystals at the toe that draw me in, and the nude colored satin and layered ankle straps seal the deal. While they aren’t as flattering as a higher heel or as comfortable as a flat, they are a great way to dress up a look when it involves a lot of standing and walking.

I want to take a moment to discuss the Swarovski crystals at the toes. If any of you have ever compared a Swarovski crystal against any other crystal, you know there’s a vast difference in quality and ‘fire’. A Swarovski crystal literally looks like a glittering diamond, bouncing colors and flashes of light like a disco ball. Nothing else compares, therefore nothing else will do.

Suntan satin pumps with a Swarovski crystal-embellished gold leather cap, these designer have clear crystals in copper-toned setting. They have a square toe and sling strap with a wrap-around ankle strap and gold-toned buckle on the outside. They have a covered heel, leather insole and metallic silver leather sole. They have a 2.25 inch heel. $1,405 YSL shoes at mytheresa.com.
