I am in love with these Frye peep-toe slingbacks made from rugged whip-stitched leather that have just the slightest hint of cowgirl. If the price drops down just a little bit more, I might have to get them, but they are currently on sale for $129.95 (down from $188.00) at Anthropologie.com. Just don't buy my size! Kidding.

Mossimo Peace Heeled Sandal, $29.99 at Target.com

I am also in love with these Mossimo Peace Heeled Sandals—in fact, I fell in love with these babies first at my local Tar-jay before discovering the Frye "originals" during a routine lust-session over at Anthropologie.com. If I know what's good for me, I'll pick up the Mossimos because they're just $29.99 and actually have real leather uppers. Oh and right now, Target's having a "buy two get one free" sale on select shoes, so check that out too.
