I almost about fainted when I first glimpsed these Valentino Fairy tale sandals (left). How can anyone not think this is like a piece of art!? Just look at them!! From the intricate detailing of the flowers to the lace-up back which looks like a corset. Everytime I see this pair of shoes, I have to wipe my mouth clean of drool :P

For a whopping $1,250 you can call these your own :) Currently selling at any of the high-end department stores and on their websites.

Don't you think Nine West's Denya sort of remind you of them? The corseted back is pretty much the same, there are flowers in the front, albeit much less on the Nine West version. Sure the color's different, but this might be as close to a cheaper lookalike as there is out right now. Hmm... decisions, decisions. Maybe I will have to pull the trigger on the Nine West version...

I'm dying over these amazing heels from Miu Miu's 2010 Resort Collection. I'm a huge fan of draping on clothes and have never seen anything like it on shoes before. And the green color with the jewels = perfect for spring and summer.
I knew that they would cost an arm and a leg, but I just had to ask... in case it ever goes on sale then it'd be all mine. Unfortunately after asking an SA in Miu Miu Hawaii, I was told they were made exclusively for the resort line and not for sale. *cricket*cricket*SOBS* I guess it's not meant to be...
