It is with much courage that I present you the beautiful things I've ended up with this week. The non-frivolous amongst us may insert this blog in their mental blacklist..now.
It all started with an innocent (read: machiavellic) invitation from Miu Miu to visit their private sale. I thought I'd see what they had, might as well get a discount.
Oh, never one to dissapoint, they had so many pretty platforms! Sadly (thanks goodness), none of their clogs were in my size. Or rather, I don't know what the hell they've done to sizing this season but they run awfully big.
Anyway, I couldn't decide between three pumps, nude, black, glittery, all too different to really be able to compare them or choose between them, as the girl who was helping me confirmed. The sales assistant (bless her, she was lovely) kept showing me more shoes and telling me how particularly pretty they looked on me. I am not one to purchase three pairs of shoes in one go, so I chose the first ones that had caught my attention and that were already firmly stuck in the NEED section of my brain, and went out to get some fresh air to think about the others!
These are them:
Perforated/studded nude patent platforms. I couldn't love them more, they are so sweet! They remind me of some marc jacobs sandals I have, and that I've worn to death.
So as I got out of the store to get some fresh air and ponder, I walked through Gina (strategically located next to miu miu), who was also having their sale today, as I had been dutily informed a week ago by mail. Oh, how I love Gina. How could I not go in! I got in the queue like a trooper braving the elements with other crazy women, and entered and stumbled right onto their Elvis style in my favourite color combo:
Mouthwatering, really! The crystals sparkle in a rainbow of colours. Champagne satin.
And THEN, I decided I might aswell get one other pair from Miu Miu in "basic" black:
Also perforated, 14cm high, they are effectively like designer stripper shoes, which we like.
And this is how one of my bags ended up after my adventures. I can spot rain, mud, and possibly soya sauce.
I'm off to have a well-deserved bath

i LOVE them Diana. You are so lucky to have them and also to be able to wear these, i cannot walk in heels let alone stand. All will look stunning on you, with your amazing figure and style
Enjoy them 
Great shoes!! Love the black ones
Fun haul! I normally don’t care for any type of sparkle on heels, but I think the crystal embellished pair steal the show

Thank you girls!
I don’t usually go for sparkly sandals either, but these..I needed to have them!

Love the Miu Mius! Beautiful!
Your blogposts are so nicely worded. You could have bought ten pairs of shoes and I would still think it the most natural and prudent thing to do.
haha…that if the funniest comment, and that’s exactly how it feels
I am IN LOVE with Miu Miu’s and my search for maryjanes brought me to your blog. I MUST know what season, name or where I can find those black mary janes! I’ve never seen them before and cannot find them anywhere online!
They’re amazing, i’ve worn them so much! They went on the sale last season..So they must have belonged to the Autumn collection? I got them at the miu miu store here in London xx
I guess they didn’t make it to the US. Sigh…
