The Daniel Footwear

If any of the Manolo’s British internet friend are in the market for the women’s designer shoes, they should consider looking at the Daniel Footwear, the online shoe shop with the excellent service and the good prices.

Tory Burch Velvet Bria Pump

Manolo says, it is Tuesday, do you know where your Tory Burch Velvet Bria Pumps are? On the feets or in the closet are the only acceptable answers. By the way, it is the bamboo heel that makes this shoe more than the sum of its very charming parts.
