Last month, a reader asked how to elongate her petite frame. I explained that nude shoes are the easiest solution. A peep-toe platform is the most flattering—and timeless—option but these Dolce Vita Cajun High Heel Gladiator Sandals ($138) are a trendy way to add height. The stacked sole makes them more comfortable, or at least as comfortable as a 4.25-inch heel can be. They remind me of a pair of Christian Louboutin sling backs I saw at Barneys the other week. Except they don’t have the obnoxious look-at-me red sole, and they’re almost one-tenth of the price. Plus, Shopbop.com is offering free shipping on all orders over $100 through July 31. If I hadn’t just bought two pairs of shoes recently, I would definitely add these to my cart.

An American Girl Wearing Aldo in Paris
I haven’t been to Aldo for a while. I’m usually more of a Steve Madden girl. But I just got an email that Beyoncé wore Aldo gladiators ($75) while shopping at Balmain in Paris. It’s funny, I remember a picture of B wearing the Gryphon sequined mini skirt ($240) I was drooling over a few months ago with boots—but I guess she her feet started hurting and she changed into flats mid-shopping spree. Regardless, it made me click over to Aldo online and I discovered that they’re having a 4-day only 30% off sale on some fun items that fit in with the tribal chic trend I’m currently obsessing over.
