Shoes Fit for a Princess

… plus the sexy side of sensible shoes and some seriously happy feet

FAIRYTALE FOOTWEAR: From the first time you saw Prince Charming put that glass slipper on Cinderella’s foot, you just knew shoes were so much more than footwear. See the prince of footwear (Stuart Weitzman) adorn the feet of our modern-day fairytale princesses (silver screen starlets) with slippers so stunning they’d make Cinderella choke on her fairy dust. The fall collection is on sale now, and from 6 to 8 p.m. tonight at Bloomingdale’s Aventura, get a glimpse of red carpet replicas from the designer’s star-studded past. Plus, guess the number of gemstones on a special pair of Weitzman shoes for the chance to win a pair of special slippers of your very own. Bloomingdale’s Aventura, 19555 Biscayne Blvd.; 305.792.1000       

CUTE AND COMFY: If the idea of donning a sky-high heel has you feeling more like a wicked stepsister than a pretty, pretty princess, may we suggest something more functional? Forget highly breakable heels fit for fairytale princesses, you need something a bit more practical, like these Elizabeth and James Triple Strap Ballerina flats ($250). They’re sensible, yet chic and we promise they won’t turn into a pumpkin at the stroke of midnight. Neiman Marcus, 2442 East Sunrise Blvd., Fort Lauderdale; 954.566.6666

FOOT FETISH: Whether they’re for the red carpet or the bleak city streets, stuffing your feet in slippers calls for post-wear care. Lucky for your little piggies, Viceroy Spa is cutting its spa treatment tabs in half through September. So that hour-long Blooming Flower Foot Ritual is just $40. Oh, happy feet. 485 Brickell Ave., 305.503.0369
