Can You Guess Which Shoe Costs $1,200 More?

Left: Giuseppe Zanotti // Right: Schutz (also here in silver)

Okay, so what do you think? If you guessed that the nude colored sandal on the left is the pricier one, you're right. It's by Giuseppe Zanotti and it's diviiine. (Especially to this pregnant lady who can't wait to get back into wearing precarious heels once again!) But with my recent big purchase, and you know, diapers, a $1,500 pair of shoes is just not in the cards right now. That's why I was thrilled to find this really, really similar--and completely gorgeous--version by Schutz (the black pair on the right above, plus it also comes in a cool silver). Same sexy shape, same badass studs...and a full $1,200 cheaper. And that's a lot of diapers, my friend. 

So did you guess correctly? And let's pretend: If they both cost the same, which pair would you prefer?

Top 10 Sparkly Ornaments

pink deer // metallic polka dots // sequin ball // gold tinsel
sequin stocking // silver wreath // glitter blow-dryer // snowflake // sparkly squirrel // sequin bow

I (clearly) love a good dose of sparkle year round, but come December, I go all-out glitz. If it's sequined, glittered, or blinged out, I want it dangling on my tree. This year, I'm particularly drawn to a palette of silver, gold, and pink--all bedazzled, bien sur. (I've never done a monochromatic--or trichromatic--tree, but I mean, how gorgeous would one look decked out solely in these shades?) Here, a few of my favorite sparkly holiday finds of the season. Shine on!  (And tell me: Which piece is your favorite?)
