Coffee Break – Undine Pump
Nice: This basic 3″ heel has good reviews at Zappos, Endless, and Amazon, it’s available in a zillion colors, and it’s on sale — at least, many of the colors are. I like the purple suede version, of course. The heel is $105 at full price, but the price dips as low as $47.05 depending … Read More about Coffee Break – Undine Pump
