Chloé chloé chloé

They came! I opened the Yoox box savagely, nervously wondering if I had ordered the right size. I slipped one on and panicked..were they a smidge too big? My heart stopped as all my dreams of triple strap glory threatened to disintegrate, so I anxiously took them off and gave them some space to breathe while I rooted around in some random boots for a thick gel insole. This proved to do the trick..and they are even lovelier in real life than I had imagined. I don't have too many pairs of designer shoes (4 or 5? I think all Marc), and I mostly spring for the trickle down versions, but there's something about the thick textured leather and sturdy detailing that makes me want to lick them. Good thing too, cause otherwise I would be pretty annoyed that they're now $100 cheaper than when I bought them. I really should stop looking this stuff up.

And the store is finally updated! Noteworthy: all lace playsuit and vibrantly printed shoulder cutout dress.

Check out Clem's fun drawing of me..she captured the gladiators pretty well. Thank you Clem!

Dress, vintage. Hat, Forever 21. Heels, Chloe.

OoOoh they are even better than pictured! Theyre amazing.. more shoe envy Rumi. I like how your totally smug and grinning in your first picture haha, I would be too. I wish you would have stood up though and given us a full outfit display, because it looks like a really nice shoe/dress combo

Linda said...

Ooo, they are AMAZING! I am so jealous.

erika said...

OMG They are even more beautiful in real life than the pics they showcase! They look sooooooo amazing on you. How much did you buy them for?! I always look up things after I get em too, so I can get mad at myself for spending money hahahah

MHBass said...

they look gorgeous, especially with that beautiful dress. i'm so jealous of all your vintage finds!

misia said...

love this shoes! i'm waiting for more clothes sets;) I have really similar ones from nine west (but with only two straps ;(),still I don't have much ideas what to wear them with.

PS, catpower: did you buy those nine west, i have once told about?

Kat said...

If they're too big anyway, why not just return them and buy them again for less, and in the right size?

Rumi said...

Yay thanksss, LOL R maybe just a little smug..I'm pretty madly in love.

Erika err let's just say more than I usually pay for shoes..hahah.

Ooh Misia the Nine West version is cute too.

Kat, I would but they don't have the half size down anymore..and I don't want to give them up!

MONI said...

She's Dressing Up said...

These are beautiful, the heel especially!

Naomi said...

theyre great! I've also had my eye on one but I dont like buying shoes before trying em on...

Anonymous said...

they're so lovely!! i saw them a while ago on yoox.com but i was waiting to buy them untill they were on sale ^-^ but if they're too big for you, do they size rather big then? do you recommend buying them half a size smaller than your normal size? oh and they actually DO look better in real life than the pictures on the website :D

Hi, I envy you so much! I adore these shoes...I was wondering, what size did you order and are they true to the size? I'm thinking about bying one of the pairs that are still in my size on YOOX...

Josefine said...

Wow, they are really cool! =)

FashionSqueah! said...

Your shoes are teeter-tottering fantastic! What girl can resist Chloe, sky-high fabulousness, and a sale? Congrats, I like the color also!

Mary-Laure said...

They are unbelievably beautiful! Enjoy them!!!

Lola Is Beauty said...

I tried those on and they looked really silly on me. I'm too old maybe? I, embarrassingly, also tried on the white Aldo patent platform oxfords you've got because I thought I was ready for heels again. I looked really daft in them and couldn't even stand up. I salute you Rumi (in my flats) - you make everything look good and can walk in terrifying heels...

Emma said...

LOVE THEM!

Nemerae said...

Wow, such stunning shoes!! I do love them (L) you have a great style ;)
Byeee

kitty kate said...

Ally said...

Do you know where to buy those shoes online?

They look so amazing on you

Pretty Pirate said...

yeah the shoes are great, but that dress is gorgeous! I like how you paired them together.

WendyB said...

I love those shoes. But this is the equivalent of being bitter that you sold your stock for a profit but the next week could have made a bigger profit: "otherwise I would be pretty annoyed that they're now $100 cheaper" You just gotta get out of thinking that. They also could have been sold out. As we say about stock, you should be a bear or a bull but not a pig. :-)
