holiday party shoe #1: the velvet shoe

does any pair of shoes scream "yay for the holidays!" more than a pair of velvet shoes in deep red or black? I think not! don't you just want to hug them, they look so soft? from top to bottom: the baisley by aldo ($80 and hands down my favorite), the new york fling by kate spade ($150), the ballet by kurt geiger ($340), the impress by betsey johnson ($175), and the new york jaylee by kate spade ($250).
