The Zelda Fitzgerald bit made me laugh.<br /><br />I love them all but I have to single a few out.<br /><br />The Prada with lizard skin are divine, please don't EVER get rid of them.<br /><br />I think I remember those orange shoes from Giles' first Bottega collection styled by Katie Grand. I love them. The after party got very messy, there was a sea of Italians dressed in black looking immaculate while we danced on the catwalk wearing fluoro Bottega.<br /><br />The KG's are are showstoping, the Ferragamo's wonderfully chic and your gold sandals are simple and stylish. I have terrible trouble finding good sandals, these are spot on.<br /><br />The purple satin boots are stunning. I love it that you wore them to your wedding!

It is a toss up for me between the Ferregamos and the blue Pradas. I recall buying a pair of Anne Klein red slingbacks when I was feeling a little sad and stressed and was guiltridden by their cost. However, these dear little shoes gave me tremendous pleasure and wear over eight years. I wish they could have lasted forever.
