    "Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes! I thought these were an urban shoe myth!"

     

    This weekend I bought my very own pair. I thought I was going to fall over and die of happiness. These will definitely make an appearance in our Nov. 8 engagement shoot, as well as probably many showers/parties. lol.

    Unf.

    Anybody else have a pair of shoes that makes you want to hump the air? :p

    @crebre- Hey, owning a pair of Manolos is a pretty good goal. These are my third ones, and so far my favorite. I got my first pair 6 years ago, and they still look fantastic (Black suede pointy heels.... of course). I've had then resoled twice. :p If you take care of them, they last a long, long time. I still remember the day I [read:my mother's credit card] bought those. They were on sale from $995 to $500. That was a fantabulous deal. Keep your eyes out for those. :)

    Sorry for blah-blahing. I don't sleep much these days. lol

    Where did you find them? Like online or in a store? I didn't think they would exist either!

    I bought them at the Neiman Marcus in Atlanta. You can also get them online. If you order them online, keep this in mind: I had to get a full size bigger than I usually do just so my arch wouldn't screw up the strap. (And I have pretty bony feet. You can't really tell in the photos).

    Love them... and the SATC ref. ;) 

    I bought my first pair of Manolos from a consignment shop for FSIL's wedding - SO WORTH IT! You get what you pay for... and I think that since they're not everyday purchases, it makes them so much more special. 

    Congrats on your wonderful new shoes!

    Ahhh I wish I had an excuse to buy them! :( I would so go to NM next weekend. I passed it last weekend, sadface!!!

    I agree with "you get what you pay for." Totally. I just wish you didn't have to pay for it... I think designer shoes should rain from the skies a couple times a year... le sigh

    Being a female and being fantastic are TWO pretty good excuses to buy them. :p

    Could we have some handbags rain as well? And just, well, money? lol.
