Tabitha Simmons’ heart-studded heels fuse South American panache with a touch of New England: The pattern was inspired by traditional Peruvian textiles, but the blue-and-white-striped foot bed is pure prep. Prefer your pair with a more-personalized touch? Simmons will be at Saks Fifth Avenue’s shoe salon on April 3 to talk design and sign her creations.
