Very cute and also functional – although not functional for me because I don’t live in NYC. Only $25 though so I may be tempted to buy one anyway. 🙂

Ahh Paris…
So I have TWO fashion related photos from my trip. I would have loved to have gone to more stores but I think I would have just been disappointed if I found something I liked because I didn’t have the cash to spend on super expensive clothes. Yes, there are certain pieces that are investments and worth splurging on but I mostly bought chocolate and Swiss wine (went to Switzerland too.)
First my really bad photo of some Louis Vuitton shoes that I snuck. They flipped out on my mom for taking a photo of their display of toys from the 50’s related to space travel so I can’t imagine what they would have done if they had noticed me taking a photo of shoes.
There was a dress I really wanted to take a picture of but there were WAY too many sales clerks around that one. And then a black jacket that had a ruffled collar that I didn’t think I could get a good photo of because it was black on black and I was using my iphone…
This next display is not Louis Vuitton though I can’t remember what the store was. I thought it was funny:
Dries Van Noten shoes
I have wanted these shoes for a long time but can’t bring myself to fork over that much money for a pair of heels I will rarely wear (I love the look of heels but even the most comfy heels bother one of the toes on my left foot after more than 2 hours.)
Sorry to the ebay seller I nabbed the image from – the other place I’ve seen these shoes with good photos is Sea of Shoes’ blog but I think it’s got slightly different beading – I don’t remember the big stone on that right shoe (pictured on the left.)
I’ve been mentally trying to come up with a way to convert a pair of flats into something that might look similar but it’s going to take me awhile since I’ll have to find beads and do the hand beading myself (I don’t think I can get a cobbler to do that part of the project.) And no, I will not be copying them exactly.
