mmm materialism materialized!
So after posting that my DREEEAM YSL Imperiale pumps were on sale, Santa heard my cry and came early in the form of my mommy! We’re not so big on the whole surprise element of holiday gift giving; instead we pretty much discuss and pick something the other probably wouldn’t get themselves otherwise. And for me, this was it! Gaga has been rocking them hard and looking amazing, which made them that much more irresistible.
As if that weren’t good enough, I got a second pair of dream shoes (this time, a special gift from myself to myself for accomplishing a TBA goal! go me!). I’ve had my eye on these Balenciaga loafers for almost 3 years to the day, after seeing this pic of Mary-Kate Olsen sporting them. I abstained from the Acne Atacoma Army (though don’t get me wrong, all you bloggers look hot in them!) and continued to hold out for these. I finally found them 3 years later for less than 1/2 the original price AND MAGICALLY IN MY SIZE. There was only one left and I would have kicked myself forever if I passed them up.
These 2 shoes are basically me in shoe form. I’ve been on a serious high all night since clicking ‘confirm order’ and I am soooo happy. I haven’t felt so spoiled in a while. Now I will anxiously await UPS and take pics/review as soon as they both arrive! Happy holidays indeed!
My friends over at Friend of Mine (who I will post about soon!) have an awesome pair similar to the Balenciaga’s in black coming out in March!!! Can’t wait for those either. And is it totally fucking crazy that I’m still considering the Dolce Vita lookalikes as an “everyday” shoe? (don’t answer that.)
SHOUT OUT TO MOMS! THANK YOU SO MUCH, I LOVE YOU!

You are one lucky lady :)
Those shoes are stellar, can’t wait to see the photos! And glad to hear you accomplished your not-yet-announced goal!
What an amazing gift! I’ve been wanting a pair of Tributes since…birth.
Aww, aren’t Moms great? Those are some freaking hot shoes by the way.
ohhhhh those shoes are to die for and your hair is grate
PRAISE THE SHOE GIVING GODS!! I’m so so so so soooooooooo incredibly excited for you! No person I know deserves both pairs more. I hope you figure out a schedule of when to live in each pair because I have no idea how you’re going to Sophie’s Choice this up. haha.
Ahhhh, the Balenciagas! Dying. Where on earth did you find them for half-off? New shoe OBSESSION!
hello fellow lj-er! :) I’m so jealous you found those balenciagas!!!! I loved them too and that shade of blue is gorgeous.
You have an amazing blog! Adding you to my list.
Those Balenciagas are killer. I’m now on my own personal quest to find a great pair of wedges.
OMG OMG OMG I love the shoes. And I’m so jealous. I would love to have that credit card :)
Wow. Those are simply gorgeous. I wish I can get a pair of them. I need to go shopping today. Thanks.
I’m so drooling over these shoes! I know you already got both pairs so I was wondering what the sizing on both of them is like?
My girl friend has been drooling over those for months now. I’m planning to get them for her for her birthday next month. Where can I get them? Any store? Cheers
You’re so lucky to have your mom.. and good job with the TBA goal! I like the pumps that Gaga is wearing, I think it will look good on you..keep posting!
