It’s no secret that while I love the novelty and craftsmanship of a designer shoe, I also love the affordability and wearability of my favorite mid-market brand: Cole Haan.

This season, they knocked it out of the park with their Chelsea Pump in a bunch of fabulous and fun colors of patent leather. A bold shoe is a wardrobe must-have and, to that end, so are these.

My choices are the royal blue (pictured), tangerine, and teal; now that Kate Middleton has brought attention and acclaim to the nude patent pump, grab one of them too!
