The perfect black tie shoe

Warm weather brings all sorts of special occasions: weddings, proms and rooftop cocktail parties (well, at least that's true in New York City). That's why this week's pick is a Badgley Mischka Dylan sandal, a high-sheen satin shoe partially encased in bejeweled trim. Perfect for any black tie event, it gets a five-star rating from consumers. Available at Nordstrom.com or for pick up at Nordstrom stores. Sizes left: 5-11 in black and 5.5, 6, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10 in silver.
