Lonely Benjamins: Pump up the jam

So I was perusing Shopbop yesterday when I spotted the Sergio Rossi heels below. I realized how essential a good pair of black heels is for every woman. They can be worn to work, on a date, with jeans, anywhere! And I always say, the higher the better! Lucky for me (and my feet), the platform trend seems is huge right now. I love looking gloriously tall without feeling like a need to saw my feet off at the end of the night. While I would love to be able to go out and buy this pair of {celebrity favorite} YSL pumps, we all know by now that I need to shop on a little bit of a smaller scale. Check out these splurge and save options for the pair of pumps no woman should be without!

Elegant and sexy at the same time. A must-have style in everyone's closet
