you wouldn't believe me if i told you




Balenciaga, never worn, $6.

I found them in a little seaside opshop run by nannas
who would not know the difference between Balenciaga
and Big W. As it always happens, the shoes caught my eye due
to them being so beautiful... then I spied the label and almost
knocked the shoe display over with my lustful snatching.

    Those moments are what retail therapy is all about, isn´t it? And the shoes are so lovely no matter what the price was! Impressed :-)

    What??? That's amazing! The little op shops are always the best I say. The more rural, the better!
    I recall a scenario when I asked the lovely op shop nanna the price of a cute little belt. She eyed it carefully and replied 'Well this is a very lovely belt and it's real leather so I'll have to say a dollar.'
    I love op shop nannas :)

    $6?! That could possibly be the find of the century. They look like Marie Antoinette shoes and for that reason you can in no way be blamed for any mad lustful snatching. Also, can I comment here to enter your Frankie giveaway? If so, HERE IS MY COMMENT!
