Just When I Thought All Was Lost

A while ago, I blogged about the Valentino Rockstud collection here. Let's just say this.

My feelings have only intensified.

Specifically, because of these beauties. These specific ones. In pink.

But I would have been happy as a clam with these ones, too.

I sigh and I swoon. Then you look at the $900 price tag and it's like...

And then, just when I thought all was lost, I found these. 

I found them here for $35.

But they were sold out of my size, and they're on clearance so they wouldn't be getting any more in stock. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?!

But then...as if parting from the clouds...

There they were. In a perfect size 9. My size. Just for me. And $35.00.

Not exactly the same, but they'll satisfy my need for pointy toe and studs. And at a grand cheaper? 

Worth the anxiety, my friends. Worth it.
