With platforms and wedges being a summer staple and with SATC coming back to life, I’m feeling the need to strap myself into a pair of stilettos and run down the street Carrie style, in patent leather sandals like these by Report Signature.

Even though adding almost 5” of height on my 5’1” frame makes me cringe a little (my poor feet!), the platform bottom and extra-padded insole should work wonders in balancing out the weight and pressure.

The wooden ball closures are also very cute and unique and help to create that ‘statement shoe’ feel. $179, on sale at reportsignature.com.
