Ladyslipper
LadySlipper is beloved for its edited selection of shoes, boots and accessories. The store is small and the decor is really elegant, yet fun with a zebra rug, pink accents, and oversized round pink ottomans. The size of the store could be an issue for some, but proprietoress Amanda does a great job of displaying Ladyslipper’s select merchandise. There is a variety of types of shoes: heels, flats, dressy, casual — all showcasing what Amanda believes to be the best of the best. Some jewelry, purses, and other accessories are also sold, but the stars of the store are the beautiful and trendy shoes — that are for the most part pretty affordable (though some of their boots can be quite pricey). Choose from this great selection to finish up your outfit for a very dressy cocktail party to a more low-key holiday house party (think beautiful stilettos or funky over-the-knee boots that are so in style this season). Switch into the Report Signature black sequin pumps to make your holiday outfit go from work to party!
