If you're looking to splurge on this fantastic look this spring, then the shoe for you is none other than the Leather T-Strap Spectator Pumps by famed, renowned shoe artist  Manolo Blahnik.

This is a timeless, statement shoe that is well worth the $785.00 investment price.  Blahnik creates wearable art, and this is just that.  Stunning with two ankel straps in black and T-strap in white, this pump will leave anyone in its path awestruck and is a MUST for the fashion forward corporate lady.
