Jason Wu Marisa embellished satin and leather sandals, $995
At first glance, I thought there was a little, delicate orange flower on the toe of these Jason Wu sandals. Upon closer inspection, however, it turns out to be a bee, and I actually like it even better that way: it’s a little more unique, but no less pretty, and the contrast of the orange gem against the cobalt blue satin of the upper is really striking.
It’s that upper, rather than its embellishment, which really makes these shoes. The bright blue is such a beautiful colour, and I love the wide, ribbon-like straps, which make the whole shoe look like a beautifully wrapped parcel – appropriate for this time of year!

I agree… the blue is fabulous. Though the bee is rather fun. And getting close enough to determine it is, in fact, a bee…delightful!
I like everything except the black straps. They seem a bit incongruous.
