    Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

    I have every email alert possible set up for them, but not a single pair exists to be had through the interwebs. I know sometimes things aren't sold out in store even when they are sold out online, but the nearest Bloomingdales is probably a state away!

    After waffling on the seafoam Lissas, I stumbled upon the Lucie, and that was it. Game over. I like the bow and the ruffle better than the bling, and they combine the shape of the Lacie with the height of the Lissa, which is what I wanted. Ever willing to change my color scheme for the right shoe (what can I say?), I decided the gray would be perfect. So do you think I can find a single pair in 6.5 or 7? Nope.

    Shoe porn:

    I am contemplating buying them in white since I would have a year to return them if the gray should become available. But I really wanted to be a colored shoe bride. I already have three events in my mind that I want to wear the gray to! The white ones would get exactly one day of wear, and my dress will likely be ivory anyway, though I don't know how bad that would be. I thought about just buying them in black, too, and I could wear them to other weddings and just not my own because I do love them that much, but it would sort of defeat the purpose... So if any bees stumble upon them in my size, give me a shout!

    They are nice looking shoes. If you do get the white, you could dye them the color you need :-)

    Veryy pretty shoe!
    This happened to me with a pair of steve maddens that I fell in love with but can no longer find. I settled for a completely different pair tho.

    I think if you love the shoe so much, get them in black so you can wear them around. And if you happen to come across them in grey again, you can still pick them up!

    @Amaryllis: Those shoes are so pretty, and I'm a big fan of your color choice! I'll keep an eye out for you, we have Bloomies here :)

    @noritake22: Dying shoes kind of terrifies me. What if they come out wrong and look weird? I'd be out quite a chunk of change!

     @tranquility: I am soooo tempted to do that, but that would mean spending $430 on 2 pairs of shoes. At least the wedding is good justification for it!

     @pink.sequins: Ha thanks!

    Move like the wind, my fellow bee.  Found them on Amazon at the Badgley Mischka Store.  1 pair in 7; 2 pair in 6.5.

    @Scottielass: OMG SQUEEEEEEEEEE! THANK YOU. Seriously. They are on their way to me right now. I can't wait! I'll update the hive in 3-5 days. I am a little nervous about the size since I've never tried them on, so we'll see what happens.

    :)

    I know! This is what I love about the hive. I never even thought to check there.

    Happy to help Wink

    Please post pics when you get them.  I'd love to see them in real life.  I swooned when I saw your online pic.

    I bet you're going to love them!  I wore Badgley Mischkas for my wedding, and they were awsome!

    I would start calling stores. The same thing happened to me. My mom was able to find my shoes the old fashion way when I couldn't locate them on the web.

    They did! I just drafted a whole post about them, but the ginormous pics have trapped it in the spam filter.
