Lanvin ‘Puzzle’ black patent wedge peep toes

If you’d described these shoes to me without letting me see them, I’d probably have thought the pink grossgrain ribbon sounded totally mismatched with the chunky patent wedge beneath it. I’d have been totally wrong about that, though, because I absolutely love these shoes. Something about them just works: or I think so anyway.

That heel is just fabulous, and is obviously where the name ‘Puzzle’ comes from. Reminds me of the giant building blocks most of us had as kids.

Even better:

A nude patent version. OK, I feel like I’m being taunted now. Anyone want to lend me $1,280? Anyone? Hey, where’d everyone go?
