Coffee Break – Fei Embellished Patent-Leather Slingbacks

It really feels like polka dots are everywhere this season! I love these splurge-worthy studded slingbacks in black and burgundy.

The few reviews on Zappos are great, and it’s still full price most other places — but today, 6pm.com has the black leather and a black/purple fabric version marked to $35-$45 (down from $79).
