A must in every single color for glamour girls of every age group.

Shoes, needless to say, are necessary to this beautiful bride. Heels. The higher the better. The Dyeable Satin Platform with Ornament Ring Detail does not disappoint. This stacked platform is hip, saucy and includes a sparkling rhinestone brooch accent for extra glam power.
