Whether it's stones, textured leather, or metallic detailing, a little embellishment goes a long way for basic walking sandals. With a bit of glitz, everyday casual sandals are instantly transformed to a sophisticated option that will give you both comfort and style when paired with a fancier dress or evening outfit. Pour La Victoire's "Nanette" sandal uses the technique of textured leather in a different, but not contrasting color, to take the sandal from basic to funky. Available at Heels.com for $158.99.

Sam Edelman uses pearl-like metallic stones to dress up the "Ginger" sandal. The smooth stones and triple ankle strap are a bit edgy and very modern. Available for $94.99 at Heels.com.

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous a quote from Coco Chanel

Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel's stylish, elegant designs revolutionized fashion during the 1910s, freeing women from the uncomfortable and stiff apparel worn at the end of the 19th century. Whether by chance or by design, Chanel furthered her own image: the woman of the 20th century, embodying independence, success, personality, style, and confidence. Coco made sure women would love her products.

Coco Chanel also popularized the little black dress, whose blank-slate versatility allowed it to be worn for both day and night. The black Chanel dress was strapless, backless and more than a little risque. It shocked the general public at large but quickly became a fashion sensation
