Crystallized Footsteps

I'm not the kind of girl who gets invited to winter balls, probably because I live in the middle of nowhere and am not acquainted with anyone who might be throwing such a shindig, but in the unlikely event that a hand-engraved note requesting the pleasure of my company at a dance arrives in the next few days, I would definitely blow my paycheck on the Bam satin pumps from Tabitha Simmons, seen here:

I mean, come on--they have a wedge heel, which is better for long-term wear (like, for example, when you're at a party), and they have those smashing little crystals all on the heel! How great would they be under a spectacular gray gown, maybe with a few subdued crystal embellishments to match?
