Matthieu Blazy's entire couture collection for Chanel this season was imbued with fantasy—he was inspired, after all, by fairy tales—but nothing felt more fantastical than his peapod heels. Inspired by Jack and his famous beanstalk, the emerald shoes (complete with pearly "peas") went viral, as did a second pair carved with a little gnome and a butterfly. At this point in the life cycle of the internet, designers know how much attention you can get with a whimsical shoe, and they're giving us what we want in the form of flower-appliquéd sandals and pumps with fringe where the heel should be. See our favorites at the link below.
