Summer is just beginning. The perfect shoes that go with everything - jeans, dresses, shorts. $279 (orig $395) (via Kristine)

I've been looking for black platforms all summer, and I finally found them here at Actiive Endeavors. And on sale too! (woo hoo!) You think it would be easy to find heels with closed-toes (I am not a fan of open-toed shoes for some reason), but it has been one of the most impossible tasks. These are cute! They will work for Fall too, which is a plus. $118 (orig $395)

7/3/07 - I received them. These are amazing! The soles/heels are solid light wood. It's a bit like walking on stilts, but boy, did people look at my shoes when I walked in with these. You think they're simple, but they're not. The ankle straps qualify these into the sexy category.
