Coffee Break: Torresvedras Pump
Ooh: pretty. Of course I like the “blue anaconda” color the best, but this nice 3″ heel also comes in a super happy, bright yellow. Love that dip in the leather along the side of the shoe, too. It was $100, but is now marked to $80 at Piperlime. Aldo Torresvedras (L-2)
