I used to be absolutely, unapologetically in love with Dorothy’s red, sparkly heels from the Wizard of Oz. It took a great deal of convincing from my mother for me not to wander the halls of my elementary school in a pair of similar shoes that I had picked up from a costume store. Looking back on it now, I wish I had been able to rock these obscenely glittery, girly shoes, as they would have made quite the statement in my third grade class.
Vans recently teamed up with the brand Opening Ceremony to create a line of shoes that are über-sparkly ($110 at Vans). While they might not transport you back to Kansas, they’re certainly a major upgrade from the ones I got my hands on all those years ago. These shoes are a surefire way to make even the simplistic of outfits look cool, and are sure to attract the attention of that cutie you’ve had your eye, as well as blind the rest of your 9 a.m. lecture.
In an era when every girl wants to look like a unicorn, Lisa Frank is back in style and every single item you wished you could wear as a 10-year-old has become stylish for you to wear as a 20-something, these kicks fit the bill. They come in royal blue, classic grey and baby pink, so you have a variety of colors to dazzle the world in.
