STYLE FILE: Miadia Stiletto Heels From Aldo

Miadia Bone Heels from Aldo

 Calling all Divas! It's that time of year again. Time to show off your feet and pretty toenail art with trendy open-toe heels. We are totally smitten with these new Miadia stiletto heels from Aldo. They come in two sophisticated color styles, Bone and Natural Multi. We are always on a quest for beautiful shoes and when we happened upon this gem of a Canadian retailer a few weeks ago, we ended up spending several hours selecting our next shoe purchases on their website. Aldo is known as "the destination for style-conscious shoppers" and when we found their Miadia heels, with corset lacing and curvy appeal, we fell in love at first sight. These shoes can fashionably freshen up an outfit and take your look from ordinary to extraordinary.
