Be My Valentino
Marilyn Monroe sure knows what she was talking about when she said, “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world,” ’cause I sure feel powerful when I can finally reach for a cup in the kitchen cabinets, the microwave that’s conveniently located on top of the fridge, the cereal box on a high shelf somewhere and other randomness without having to look for a stool. Thank you high heels, what would life be like without you?
(Valentino Rockmance Leather Pumps)
Aren’t these babies lovely? After trying them on and realizing they weren’t my size, my WWICHD (want-what-I-can’t-have disorder) kicked in and I went on a crazy rampage in search for them. I’ll try to spare you the details of my nutty frenzy…in short I called every NM in the U.S. frankly because I didn’t trust the system, and as luck would have it one pair finally popped up. It was a very kind person in Hawaii who rather wear flip flops than high heels that decided to pass these up.
So here they are, the last size 5 resting atop a little red box on my bedroom floor that I watched go to bed the first night they came home….Ok, I didn’t really do that but I did pull it out and tried it on about 18 times! Haha, I hope I’m not alone here…Ladies, do you have any funny/crazy shoe stories?
xo
SO glad that you bought them, girl! They are insanely gorgeous with that extra touch of edge–the gold studs with the slender sliver cut-outs, ugh, so magnificent. How does it feel to be the proud owner of the last size 5s in the entire United States? ;)

Gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous!
And yes, I do have crazy shoe stories (being a shoe fanatic like you) but I won’t bore you with them. Haha!
Let’s just say I kind of did the same thing with the Christian Louboutin Maggies, but unfortunately, I didn’t have the same happy ending as you. :)
These are gourgeuos1 I completely understand what you mean. I have all kinds of pairs of shoes all around my house on shelves (where books should be) in plain sight, I just have to see them.

Oh my! These are beyond fabulous. The rockstud details are so beautiful crafted and no wonder you went on a frenzy looking for it. Don’t feel bad because you are not alone. I’d totally do the same thing!
P.S. I love the WWICHD!! too funny!
LOL!! I totally get what you’re saying…my shoes have the potential to change my mood ;)
When you have your heart set on a pair…there is nothing more satisfying than finally having them…it’s the best :)
Enjoy these babies…they are beyond fabulous and no doubt you will own the room when you wear these!
