I’m currently on the lookout for a pair of shoes to wear for a stint as a bridesmaid in October, and so far am having little to no luck in that department.

Most heels designed for brides and bridesmaids are way too bedazzled for my liking, and don’t even get me started on white shoes (I find them incredibly tacky). I don’t really want to spend my money on a pair of shoes I’ll wear once then never again.

So far, the frontrunners are these Tony Bianco Rajani heels, which are thankfully light on the rhinestones and other frou frou, plus the champagne satin colour is so much more palatable than pure white.

For $129.95, they’re not a bad option - and if you’re a fan of the style but not the colour, they’re also available in black.
