Perfect Pairs: Spring Sandal + Polish Combos Klaudia Tirico
On a scale of one to 10, how badly are you over your winter boots right now? Now that spring is here, it’s time to part ways with boots and let our toes see some sunlight. But not until they’ve been properly buffed and painted with one of spring's prettiest lacquers. A new pair of Givenchy sandals wouldn’t hurt either. We took our favorite shades straight to Manhattan's shoe mecca, the Barneys New York designer shoe floor, to match graphic slingbacks, metallic peep-toes and monochrome slides with hues to give you an accessories wardrobe that walks the walk.
