My new babies!

I've been lusting after these shoes for quite a while, ever since I saw them on a model in Nylon Magazine. Thing was, there was credit given for every single item the model was wearing, BUT the shoes...

It wasn't until an Irish pal showed me the shoes SHE was lusting after, that I knew who made them!

These are the Lady Dragon shoes by Vivienne Westwood. It's a collaboration between Brazillian shoe design house, Melissa. All the shoes are made from plastic (think along the lines of the jelly sandals we wore in the 1980s)... and they're candy scented, to boot!

When I found out who made these, I was on a mission to find a pair. The only place I could find them was on eBay-- for three times the amount they were originally being sold for!

I FINALLY found them being sold on the Vivienne Westwood site- but they had been on backorder for a long time. Until today :-)

Here they are... they come in other candy-like colours, too!



They also have another pair that I am dying to get my hands on...
So reminiscent of the 1950s lucite heels!
These are on backorder for the time being...
Very sparkly, very gorgeous!

I had never seen those sparkly ones before. I just adore all of her shoes especially the black ones but I am scared I am going to buy the wrong size. In the states I am a 8.5 so Im thinking I would be a 6 or 6.5 in a half in the uk. Do shoes run big or small over there.

AAAAaaaah! those shoes are so gorgeous they make me wanna scream like a frantic beatles fan! and the sparkly ones [don't take this the wrong way, because i do love them] remind me of a pair of shoes that came with 'Crystal barbie' when i was wee :)
