Like roses and chocolates, crimson stilettos are fabulous any time of year, but particularly appropriate on Valentine’s Day. The heart-shaped cutout on the front of this patent pair is sweet and cheeky (which basically summarizes our entire romantic philosophy). And they’re utterly sexy, which in our book is essential on February 14th, whether you have a date or not.

Wedges seem to be all anyone is talking about lately, and for good reason. They’re (relatively) comfortable and easy to get around in, while still giving you height (which everyone seems to want, no matter how tall she is already). This pair caught my eye because they look funky and elegant at the same time. Twisted ribbons of gold and black suede would work whether you’re sipping caipirinhas by the powdery sands of Rio’s Copacabana beach or vodka sodas after sunset at the Chateau Marmont in L.A.

Donna Karan Ankle-Cuff Sandals
The first thing people will notice about these sleek sandals (aside from the 5-inch matte gold heel) is the black leather that appears brushed with gold leaf—elegant and edgy simultaneously. But our favorite feature is the twisted gold metal cuff that will make you rethink your previously held notions regarding the ability of an ankle bracelet to be fabulous.

Nicholas Kirkwood Taupe Suede Platform Bootie
The Brit (who doesn't love a Brit?) has created Rodarte's runway shoes for the past four seasons, seen his creations grace the feet of cool girls like Sienna Miller and Mary-Kate Olsen, and if that weren’t enough, won last year's British Fashion Award for best emerging accessory designer. Whew. These platform peep-toe beauties have a 5 inch heel that looks as if it were dipped in molten silver, then splashed across the back of the shoe (this is a cool thing, not a bad one). You'll walk taller both for the obvious reason and for the fact that that the name on style experts' lips is now at your feet.
