I was too late...

to buy these spectacular shoes!
After purchasing my new suede dress, I went on a mission to find the perfect suede booties to match it.  After hours of questing, I found them!
Crafted by Stuart Weitzman for The Cool People, these shoes are are a cut above.  The suede may be great, and the rivet detail on the zipper is adorable, but the wooden heel and platform are what truly set these apart.  The dark, almost mahogany looking stain, makes these booties look so much more refined when compared to the traditional materials (rubber, suede, unnaturally stained wood, leather).
So I have to have them, right?  Right.  Problem is, they are ENTIRELY sold out of my size, AND even with my online shopping prowess, I can't find them anywhere other than Zappos!
In the words of Journey, I'm living on a prayer.  
I signed up to get notified if they come back in stock.
...and I may or not be chatting up Zappos' staff on a daily basis just in case there is a return in process...

The Hiatus is Over!

After taking some accidental time off, I purchased something so fantastic that I HAVE to share!
I'm now the proud owner of the aMAzing Theory Arlinda dress in Suede, available at Saks.
I tried it on, but didn't buy it.  Then, after over a week of obsessing, I couldn't resist!
They didn't have it in my size on the site (or any site, for that matter) so I chatted to an associate via the website and had him search the inventory.  Lo and behold, he was able to locate one nearby and have it shipped to me!
Divine intervention, right?
Now if only it would arrive a little sooner...
