Sometimes, a little detail can make a shoe. Dangling charms, a gemstone, a bit of color, and a touch of lace are all things that add the perfect amount of flair. When shoe shopping, it is very tempting to go straight for bold metallic hardware and prominent logos. But sometimes, the shoes that you will appreciate most are the ones unlike anything else on the market. Here are some ideas:

The Diego di Lucca “Lavern” heel has silver fabric that knots in the front. The little knot provides just the right amount of toughness for the delicate sandal. Available for $146.99 at Heels.com.

The Versace mirrored “T-strap” sandal has an irresistible dangling charm that hangs off the buckle. Available for $730 at Neiman Marcus.
