Made for [fairytale fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1), the Prince Pumps by Taylor Says are the epitome of magical chic.

Inspired by the legendary fairytale 'The Princess and the Frog,' the Prince Pumps feature a bright green leather upper with toad-like spotting. The heel of the shoe comes equipped with an adjustable sling back strap. Atop the 2-inch platform vamp sits an [adorable little crown](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-heel), very much like the the royal accessory found in the notorious folklore.

Accenting the platform is a [6 1/2 inch block heel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops) that is in tune with the S/S '15 season. Underneath the shoe, the soles display beautiful artwork in which two frogs are found in love beneath the heading "And they lived happily every after."
