There is no denying the sexy appeal of the strappy stiletto.

I own quite a few — gold, black, silver, grey snakeskin, bejewelled, navy – in brands from Nina to Kate Spade to Delman.

Sometimes however, a woman needs classic.

Simple. Subtle. Sensual.

Enter the satin pump.

Leave the peacock preening to your cocktail dress. The satin pump grounds you in sophistication.
