I recently purchased these amazing leather, snake-print, ruffled zip, anklestrap stilettos (now that's a mouthful!) from an awesome shop on Queen St, Balisi.
These shoes are from Bos & Co, a Brazilian company that create boots, shoes, sandals for men and women. I have tried to find some background informaton on this company; however, I couldn't find anything! The only thing I know, is that there is a distributor of Bos & Co in Burlington, Ontario, by the same name

These fabulous shoes represent everything that I love about footwear!
They incorporate the latest trends, and meld them together with the feminine ruffle and edgy zipper detail. The neutral silver leather means that they can be incorporated with both casual and formal outfits. They have a chameleon-like quality, with the ability to either compliment an already knockout dress or skirt or act as a standout piece on their own!
For example, at recent fundraising event in Toronto (Frocktail), I wore these shoes with a metallic print mini from Club Monaco with a black dancer style body suit from American Apparel. These shoes would look equally hot with a simple pair of skinny jeans and black top.
I don't necessarily agree with the school of thought that beauty should also be comfortable...because let's face it...highheels are not sneakers...but I have to say that these beauties were not TOO painful! Beartraps as my friends and I would say.

The thing that I most love about shoes is their ability to transform mind and body.
There is just something about strapping on a stiletto that gives you an immediate confidence, and rightfully so! Posture is improved, shoulders back, chest out (my mother's mantra!), as you find yourself walking with a new found stride.
Move over Fido, heels are a girls best friend!
