Libertas is my new addiction! No exaggeration, I believe I have worn a pair of my Libertas sandals at least 10 times in the last 3 weeks. For those of you who don't know me, that is a number beyond comprehension. With over 150 pairs of shoes, I rarely wear the same pair twice in a week. From the moment the Vixen Sandals arrived at my door, I was in love. They were so beautiful I didn't even want to wear them. Normally I focus on just one pair but since I now have 3 pairs and a clutch I am going to give you as many details as I can.

What I love: Everything! The Vixen Sandals are sexy, beautiful, and FLAT. I love the combination of the reddish slightly metallic snakeskin with the gold braided leather. These can easily be dressed up but are not too dressy for day time. There is something incredibly luxurious about the snakeskin on the bottom. Recently I have acquired MANY pairs of heels but found these to be the perfect addition to my wardrobe since I can actually WALK in them. I believe it is difficult to find a beautiful, flat, sandal you can dress up and these are just the pair. I can not leave out my commentary about the packaging. These fantastic shoes come in the most adorable flat box with a Libertas canvas dust cover.

What I am wearing them with: Everything! I have paired these sandals with at least 5 different sundresses and a few skirts. They are incredibly versatile.

The Basics: The Vixen Sandals are made of genuine snakeskin with braided gold leather accent straps. They are adorned with gold brass studs. While they are flat, they do have a short heel in the back for added comfort. A picture does nothing for any of these pieces. They are truly works of art and look even more amazing in person. Available in Ruby or Indigo.

The Other Items: Here is a little bit about a few of the other items I adore.

- These are simply exquisite. The 3 1/2" heel height is very comfortable and the combination of the eggplant snakeskin with the gold metallic leather is striking. These would be equally HOT with a dress or denim. I was in tears that this shoe simply wasn't wide enough for my foot. They are one of the most magnificent pairs shoes I have seen in quite some time.

Peace Sandal - Simple and minimalistic, this is a very beautiful sandal. Made of genuine leather and adorned with gold brass studs and a dangling peace peace sign. They are perfect for casual day and evening wear. These work particularly well with sundresses, shorts, and skirts. I have them in the Pearl and it's a great slightly off white color that works perfectly in place of true white. Again, these are much more fabulous in person.

- I have these in black with the gold intertwining straps. The black and gold are a great color combination to pair with so many things.

Vixen Clutch - A flat envelope style clutch that is great for a night on the town but large enough to carry your necessities. Made of genuine leather/snakeskin with large gold brass beveled studs. Available in a variety of colors, I chose the gold since it was very neutral.
