Finally got my grubby little hands on these bloody boots. I knew I should've got them years ago on Victoria Secrets. Thank God I didn't get them on ebay for a jacked up price (I saw a couple go for over 1k. Ridiculous). Since I can't make up my mind about anything, I went with one side harnessed.
Thanks to Akira in Chicago where I got these. RJ - thank you for sorting me out ; -) If anyone's after a cool sales guy to help, he's lovely. tel. 312 346 3034. There's a few other select stores now that are selling them too.
im very jealous. im on the waitlist at LF stores do you think Akira is a better bet?
ReplyDeleteOMG! So jealous! You are gorgeous and your outfit is perfect!

They look faboulous on you Karen, I think they are absolutely worth the waiting!
ReplyDeleteLove this total look (like duh haha) and your photos are always stunning!

love ur legs... what's ur work out regime or is it just lots of walks in heels?
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I am in love! I added you to my list ;)

wow wow wow :)
ReplyDeleteamanda - dude - they are comfortable!!!!!! I was actually concerned that they'd pinch or squeeze or be too narrow. THey are just right.
ReplyDeleteanon - yes they run TTS. I ordered my normal shoe size and my girlfriend did the same and we are both happy. RJ at Akira said that customers he noticed were buying their normal size.
allison - depends on how far down you are in the list for either store? I don't know how long the LF listing is or Akira. Ask RJ what the status is and compare between the two?
Carly - Other online places include Jildorshoes.com, footnotesonline.com, spoiledpink.com. I think Zappos and Urban outfitters may be stocking them too?
Lioness - I mostly have been doing the slim in 6 work outs. I haven't done one in weeks though.
Posh!!! - God the award!! Every time I see your post I think of it. LOL!! Not much good thinking of it instead of acting? ; ) I have to. Seriously. Yes, they were worth the wait.
love em! have coveted them as well but refused to pay the over 1k pricetag they were going for....now I have to wait for an online merchant to sell these so I can buy em overseas....thanks for the inspiration......nice :)

ReplyDeleteyou have wonderful style and your photographs are always spot on! Do you take them yourself or do you have someone to help you out?
you always have the cutest clothes!

ooh! another question..
ReplyDeleteDo those shoes only come in full sizes? any half sizes? If they dont come in half sizes, do you think I should get the half size up?
Amazing outfit. God I love those booooooots!!!!
ReplyDeletehttp://fashionroadkill-halifax.blogspot.com
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteSolitary - yes they don't come in half. Only full/whole sizes.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Well i tried one size down and they were too tight. My size is very TTS with room to even add gel insoles too.
Not sure if that helps. All I can say is whatever your normal whole size is, thats what you would need. ps. the boyfriend takes the shots. I have a remote but so far he's willing to take the pics so what the heck : ))
CONGRATS! I WISH I WOULD HAVE PURCHASE THOSE WHEN THEY WERE @ VS, TOO! AWESOME!
ReplyDeletei got the sam edelmans in my normal size and they were perfect too! i don't know about others but i wear heels all the time too and they are damn comfortable!!!!! totally agree with you karen!
