dear CiF
today is that day I wait for each month, the day your dutch re-sellers update
full size images of their current inventory. and, as I have been for the past few months, I'm a bit disappointed. but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
I think this might be a good place to start:
WHAT?! I found the red heel tip charming the first time around, with the patent leather black open-toe beauty, but really? did you have to add sloppy bling and a bow?
and then we have this dalmation plantation sensation; if the striped polka dot combination weren't enough, they threw in an asymmetrical strap and an unfortunate peaked satin heel cage... yes, CiF, you CAN try too hard.
they also had an excess of miniature boas at the factory... although I do see this moving in a positive direction: sticking with a theme (a smoothly opulent frill) and thoughtful details (turquoise toe box trim)
forgive me if you like this shoe, but it's really missing a large part. I just thought I should point that out.
a significant improvement. notice the piping throughout and the emphasis (ZING) that heel cap provides when used effectively...
but let's not forget that once in a rare while, sublime beauty:
and exhilarating innovation
do occur.
