For me, still too pricey for something I'd only get little use out of-but I do like the look, BB!

I love the Balenciaga shoes... but that price is insane! The Steve Maddens are a cute option, nice to find cheap clothes online.

I agree with you that prices are insane.
But if you really like these shoes then price doesn't matter.

If i would like these shoes i would go to ebay and try to find one for under $400.

Nowdays i prefer sneakers such as coach sneakers. Such high heel is fashionable but it hurt my feet.

Just my 2 cents,
Cate

Wow love these shoes! There's a book coming out tomorrow called "The Power of Small" that looks great..basically it's all about how small things can have a big impact and that's kind of always how I've felt about shoes. When my confidence is low because I just lost my job and, like so many others, am having a tough time finding another one, just putting in some effort to look good and get dressed up can make me feel so much better about myself and in turn, I think, make my job search more fruitful. Can barely wait for this book to come out. I think we all need to feel inspired right about now!
