behold the beauty of these shoes and the tragedy of their price tag

laken1 · Hermes

gorgeous.

Becca · Kate Spade

I can't see them!

HeatherLynn · Gucci

They are very beautiful. However, $800??? I couldn't pay that much...

Ahh... they will be in my dreams tonight.

Dizzy · Marc Jacobs

Unspeakable beauty paired with an equally unspeakable price - the pain. I say get them and cut back on groceries. Who needs to eat when you have shoes like that?

Tashina · Kate Spade

i feel your pain my shoe loving friend.

$520 dior's

$545 manolo blaknik's, i know there is nothing particularly spectacular about them, but i saw them while i was in vegas last month and tried them on. i actually shed a tear. i fell in love

gypsyfreak · Coach

What beautiful shoes!

$800 is a bit much for a pair of shoes. However if you can afford them, I say you should get them. I'm a bit of a shoe whore myself so I understand how you're feeling. Sorry to be an enabler.

halleybird · Hermes

lo, the beauty within! And ah, the sadness of my empty purse! If thine wallet is less empty, I say place thy credit card upon the altar of commerce, for the perfection of such footwear is destined to rest upon your feet!

You are too funny!! If you have an extra $800 to get the object of your desire and they will give you much enjoyment then go for it. If you will feel guilty though, just wait and see if they go on sale. Good luck! They are beautiful!

NCshopper · Hermes

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Those are incredible. What are the little dangly things made out of? $800 is more than I could personally spend on a pair of shoes, but if you have the funds and you're still thinking about them tomorrow, then get them--we'll all live vicariously through you. (I'm such an enabler!)

I agree. Buy the shoes and eat ramen for a month

Greater words were never spoken!

(on a side note...it is a good thing for my own sanity that my ankles and calves are too thick for such a shoe or else they'd haunt me day and night too! )

JoceyBaby23 · Gucci

If you can afford them, girlfriend.. Then go for it! They're hot!

lol, thanks for the eloquent enabling! here's the thing girls, i could do it if they were 5, even six maybe but 8?! yowza! i think i will just stalk and stalk and stalk and hope for the best. thanks ladies, i knew i could count on you all to understand!

Hermes

splurge. get them. you live once, and if they take your breath away and haunt you like this have it's a good purchase. if you feel guilty spending so much on them, figure out something you can cut back on spending on this month, or sell something on e-bay. that's how I justify :)

FashionPrincess · Hermes

Those shoes are so totally you! If (I mean when) you get them, you have to post pics so we can all admire their beauty

tara t · Marc Jacobs

my relationship with those shoes were quick and painless. i saw them, drooled, and then saw the price.

they are also listed in a bridal magazine... shoes for the bride i think.

bumblebee · Coach

hey lady--i thought of you when i came across these on bluefly this morning. they have a similar scheherezade-ish look and color scheme and are less than half the price. they're pretty beautiful as well. don't know if they are your size, but maybe a viable alternative...

Mandy · Kate Spade
