Inspiration: {Shoe Love}

{Love this shoe, not just for the classic leopard print, but for its cut. I also love the strap, which apparently I would benefit from as I recently lost one of my shoes while crossing a very busy intersection with a senior colleague... so embarrassing, but funny nonetheless!}
