one of the reasons i'm obsessed with balmain this spring 2009 (other than their fabulous jeans which i would die for) is their studded crystal sandals. watching them shine on the runway just entranced me. of course... this babies are 1475 euros ~$2062 US dollars. i know... insane, right? once something hot hits the runway, affordable names such as bebe, steve madden quickly produce their own "balmain-inspired" studded crystal sandals. however, those brands FAILED horribly. luckily, when i was browsing the shoe section of nordstrom (i only buy my shoes from there, learned my lesson from buying shoes at other departments/boutiques), my eyes and hands quickly fell upon these.....
jeffrey campbell's version of the balmain studded crystal sandals. i promise you, they look better in real life. i wanted to buy them right then and there. the price, you ask? just $165. reasonable compared to the actual balmain sandals. these beauties are very reasonable compared to the pieces of shit produced by steve madden & bebe (i'm not even going to post their versions because they're THAT horrible). however, i'm a little iffy on getting these because they are kinda OTT, but i love them because they're show stoppers compared to the ordinary sandals. i'm the kind of person who's into shiny and studs. ;] kudos to jeffrey campbell. you are a shoe genius. <3
i've been craving for an azur piece for so long... the only thing that draws me from it is the vachetta which easily gets dirty from everyday use, but the mini accessories pouch hardly has any vachetta! it's perfect for storing my kickass phone, my keys to my lvoely lexus, and last but not least... the plastic!
aren't these divine?? even my own dad loves them..... they're on sale right now... so tempting..... i've been eyeing these babies for ages... how can i buy them when i'm on shopping ban? :[
i've always wanted the wilshire blvd and lilo just knows how to work it as the perfect summer bag. maybe i'll rethink getting the damier azur speedy 30. :P
