Nine West Gushing Mary Janes ($54)

Holiday party season is upon us.  If you want to breathe life into an old dress, a new pair of shoes is the way to go.  I like these black and navy Mary Janes with a black, grey or white dress.  They also come in all black and patent black.

If you’re looking for a traditional evening shoe, these kitten-heel pumps from Nina are lovely.  I also like these sparkly pewter pumps; they’re simple, but unique.  And I LOVE these Enzo Angiolini pumps with a crystal embellishment and a bow ankle strap.

Looking for something more modern?  This Jessica Simpson pump has a laser cut strap and a pointed toe.  It’s to die for in both the black and the gunmetal.  These lizard gladiator sandals from Sam Edelman are superb.

Need metallic pumps?  I like these open-toe silver pumps with a knot detail.  I also like these simple gold pumps from Nine West.
