The only thing that keeps me sane during exams is the promise of the holidays ahead. As I try to de-stress, I end up taking breaks that are WAY too long because I become completely mesmerized by all the amazing shoes I am finding for holiday parties. Holiday parties mean bold dress that has a fun, warm, rich feeling to it (and usually you can get away with some glitter + sequins!). Here are the five pairs of shoes that I NEED, right now for the holidays.

J.CREW Glitter-finished leather pumps ($300): Glitter! These pumps are coated with sparkling glitter, which makes them an amazing statement piece. The vibrant gold is sure to stand out. For extra embellishment they even have a decorative heel that is striped gold and black suede.

Zara Glitter Booties ($99): These booties have a mid-sized heel so you can be stylush and still be comfortable. They’re coated in black shiny glitter and fit above the ankle. These booties are the perfect way to complement your holiday look.

Asos How We Do Heeled Sandal ($85.28): If you won’t be in extremely cold weather, why not wear a killer pair of heeled sandals? These t-strap sandals are black and gold color-blocked with an added touch of orange on the edge of the sandal. The shoe is complete with a black faux-fur paneled heel for some added fun. 

KG by Kurt Geiger Black Beau Heeled Shoes ($208.45): These pointed toe suede heels are adorable. The bow detail around the ankle makes them the perfect shoe to complete your feminine ensemble. The ankle strap and three inch heel also make them manageable for a long night of standing and mingling.

Asos Sugar Rush Heels ($75.80): If heels aren’t your thing or if you just want to be comfortable this shoe is your go-to. It has a 2-inch chunky block heel, maximum comfort, and a pointed toe front with jewels on it. This embellishment takes this black shoe from plain and ordinary – to holiday party worthy.
