A Cheaper Way to Wear Manolo

We all wish we could afford stars’ designer shoes, but there is one less expensive way to buy a little (no pun intended) Manolo Blahnik these days. The storied shoe designer recently teamed with Spanish jeweler Tous to create miniature versions of the famed “Campari” shoe in silver and gold, and starting in March, the tiny heels will be available in red and black, too. The pendants — which dangle delicately from a white-gold chain — are available in two sizes (for $265 or $169) and feature a diamond button. The best part? They come in a teeny Manolo Blahnik shoebox. It’s almost cute fashion overload. Check out the charms now on us.tous.com.
