These Arabella sandals from Pedro Garcia, $440, combine two of our obsessions – gray leather accessories and ladylike details.

The crystal toe-strap is just dainty enough to avoid being too prom, and the wide ankle straps get a bow-like pleating affect that’s just girlie enough for our taste.

And, one of the reasons we love gray, it works winter or summer! Though you may want to save the open-toes for after the snow melts.
