A shoe-in

We all know that towering stilettos make a great entrance -- but then what? Ten minutes into the party you need crutches or a chair. And dancing or hostess duties? Forget it.

Pair these not-sky-high knockouts with a little black dress from your wardrobe and that's all you need to kick up your heels.
