Casadei tortoiseshell trim ankle-strap peep toe platforms
Tortoiseshell really is everywhere, isn't it? I would blame myself, but I don't think I have that kind of power (yet)! It must be something in the water that's making everyone come out with shoes trimmed with the print.

Thank you, Neiman Marcus, for letting us know that 'teak' is in fact brown. I'll write that one down so I don't forget. Moving on to the matter at hand, the shoes are actually quite spectacular. 
If Jordan could go back and do her wedding all over again (God help us) I'm sure she'd forgo her Moda In Pelle pink glitter courts in favour of these Gina offerings. This is a new colour for the bestselling 'Rox' design, as worn by such celebs as...er, Tara Palmer Tomkinson. But before you scoff into your coffee, Madonna's also a fan, and many a fashionista has been spotted in Gina sandals. 
Spots and stripes together on the same shoe? It's just a big old clash party waiting to happen really, so why are these spotty, stripey, clashy pumps from Accessorize so totally cute?
