There's something magical about the Schutz 'Enida' sandal. It has this incredible leg-lengthening effect, and the block heel makes me think it's probably comfortable, too. I'd start with the nude color to get the most wear, but the other colors are equally tempting. While $170 isn't that much to spend on a pair of heels, I found a look for less that's about half the price.

Lauren Conrad wore a dress and heels from her Kohl's collection to fête the launch of her new book, Celebrate (out today!), a lovely fact I picked up while watching Style Code Live. It's my new nightly obsession/guilty pleasure if the kids are both in bed, and it's only 30 minutes long so I can squeeze it in while doing other things. But back to Lauren: She was on the show to talk about her latest book that's about all-things-party and revealed that she wore this dress and these heels, as seen on her Instagram feed. I think she looks amazing - the dress is so girly and chic, not to mention figure flattering with its fit and flare silhouette. Lauren's exact dress is available in sizes 0-18 for just $48 while the heels are available in four colors for just $40! See? Watching TV isn't just fun and games, it's research.
