Don't get me wrong, I love sparkles as much as the next person (actually, probably much more), but when it comes to finding the perfect pair of embellished sandals, they often cost a pretty penny. And no matter how pretty they might be, I just can't justify spending an arm and a leg on a pair of flat sandals, especially considering the fact that they'll have to be retired to the closet when the warm summer season comes to a close. I usually find myself spying a pricier pair and just waiting impatiently for them to go on sale like these Steve Madden studded sandals, but that doesn't always work out in the timeliest fashion! You may be surprised, however, to see that it's actually totally possible to find chic bedazzled sandals at a surprisingly reasonable price to start, like these Jewel Sandals from Wet Seal, for example!

Shoe Of The Week: Pelle Moda Brisk Jewel Sandals

Remember those gaudy-fabulous bubble gum machine cocktail rings you used to collect as a kid every time you were able to successfully scrounge for quarters in the cracks of diner booth cushions? Well, these Pelle Moda sandals are like the shoe equivalent of our favorite cheap-o jewelry (in an awesome way)... except they don't come in a plastic bubble case, they'll cost you more than a quarter, and they're definitely not "one size fits all." Despite their bright color and bling the size of my fist, they're actually totally comfy and practical (ha!) since they're flat and leather-lined (unlike, say, an overpriced pair of bejeweled jellies). They also come in black and forest green, but I figure if flashy-chic is what you're going for, you might as well go all out. Fuchsia, please!
