There is something lovely about a little color against all that coastal white. These Christian Louboutin Miss Z sandals have that same feeling: pink, lemon yellow and pale green satin, gathered into a generous bow at the ankle.

I’d let them be the brighter note in an otherwise simple look—an ivory slip dress, a linen set, or a clean white silhouette. With a sandal this pretty, the rest can stay wonderfully quiet.

The setting is a little Newport Coast daydream: pale stone, an Italian-inspired balcony, and an open ocean view. Soft pencil lines around the edges, with the satin taking center stage.

An elegant shape, a playful wash of color, and just enough bow.
