All the Gelt!

The first candle of Hanukkah will be lit tonight.  Ah, Hanukkah: the time of tasty latkes and everyone’s favorite top game, the dreidel.  You know the drill: roll a shin and put one piece of your foil-wrapped chocolate gelt in the pot; roll a nun and nothing happens and the next player spins; roll a hey and you take half the pot; roll a gimel and you take the entire pot.

Here’s hoping you get all the gelt this year!  If not, here are some coins for you (sadly, though, not chocolate):



The Maite Flat Sandal by GUESS by Marciano has silver coins dangling around the ankle strap and neatly ordered down the front of the foot.  The rest of the shoe is a silvery snakeskin they’re calling lime for some reason, though it’s also available in black.  Your choice from GUESS for $130.



These beauties are copies of a Jimmy Choo design, but for much cheaper.  (The quality… who knows?)  The gray python fabric covers the toebed and the stiletto heel, while purple braid winds its way up your foot and ends in multicolored tassels: green and blue on one foot, and red and purple on the other.  Yours for $90 on Ali Express.



Now that’s what I’m talking about!  The Gypsy by Funtasma is covered in clinking gold coins: two rows over the toe, and two around the ankle as well.  Just the sound of you coming in these is sure to make your dreidel opponents quiver in their boots!  Yours from Exotic High Heels for $37.


Happy Hanukkah to my Jewish shoe fairies!
