Lace Stilettos

Applique Footwear from Vincent Rey

I'm not one to drool over tall shoes with thin sticks for heels, but this exquisite pair of lacy stilettos from Vincent Rey really got my undivided, saliva-drenched attention.

The shoes ooze sensuality, naughtiness and a bit of fetishism. I just love the intricate and badass black lace applique, but I'm still not completely in love with the stick heels.

Regardless, I think the shoes are a veritable work of art.

Implications - While they are probably more suited to formal and fashionable events, they could definitely be dressed down to wear to the office. Wherever these shoes are strutting, they are sure to make a statement.
