With dresses in full swing for spring, Girlawhirl, who's filled her closet with enough of them to get through two full weeks in the office without repeating a single look, has now turned her attention to her feet. Shimmer and shine, so much a part of her clothing wardrobe – yes, especially for day – means that she's looking for some great shoes that have their own kind of sparkle and shine… and that means patent leather…
• Of course she's drooling over Marc Jacob's of the moment patent sandal with crystal heel, but hasn't put her name on the waiting list yet. In the mean time, she's scouting for black patents that won't put such a dent in her savings account.

• A perfect accompaniment to navy, and certainly, these crossover sandals aren't too bare for the office. Girlawhirl loves the way the silver heel makes for a cool look as she walks away. The Black Patent ones could be the solution to her every day shoe dilemma.

• As a chic counterpart to any of her little black dresses, MICHAEL by Michael Kors Seaside Pump is the perfect wedge. In creamy vanilla with black trim and a fun striped wedge, Girlawhirl can't wait to slip these on and hit the streets.
