Shopping for Shoes that Sparkle

We can't help but to fall in love with some of the season's most coveted shoes. Beautiful store displays are purposely designed to lure us in with their pretty Lucite pedestals and glass enclosed cases. Displayed like works of art, the price tags these shoes don are almost as much as a piece of art. For those fortunate few that can afford the expense of lavish footwear, note these new styles to add to your collection. For those who can't, there's no need to sacrifice style. There are plenty of low price alternatives to achieve a similar look without breaking your bank.

Glitter shoes are shining all over the runways and on to the streets. Whether these are worn for a special occasion or just add dazzle to a pair of skinny jeans, prepare to steal the spotlight with these sparkling shoes of the season.

If you can get your hands on Christian Louboutin's Glitter Peep-Toe Slingbacks (these beauties are sold out almost everywhere) you're feet will be lucky to indulge in these sparkling slingback heels.
